The One With The Seven Words

Recently I came across George Carlin,the comedian. He is currently the best comedian that is still living. He was ranked #2 in the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time but the first one has already passed away so that would make him the greatest. Anyway, George Carlin came up with this list of "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television". I don't know whether the seven words are allowed on television now but when he made that list in 1972, I'm sure it wasn't. I have heard this "seven dirty words" bit from many comedies and sitcoms but I never knew that it was made so long ago by George Carlin and I never knew exactly which seven. So I decided to check them out.

The seven words are :
1. shit
2. piss
3. fuck
4. cunt
5. cocksucker
6. motherfucker
7. tits

I agree that most of the words are inappropriate for television but 'shit' and 'piss'?!? I think banning the word 'shit' is a bit harsh. I have been saying 'shit' since standard one!

In an episode of That 70's Show, Eric is seen listening to a George Carlin record and remarks on the list. Later in that episode, Eric refers to Donna's boss using numbers that refer to the list saying, "You 6ing, 7ing monkey 5er. You think your 1 don't stink well 3 off you 3ing 3er." Translation-You motherfucking, titsing monkey cocksucker. You think your shit don't stink well fuck off you fucking fucker.

In another episode of Everybody Hates Chris, Chris got into trouble listening to dirty jokes and when his mother was going to punish him, the narrator cried "number thrrrreeeeeee~~~"
