The following is transcript of one of Carlin's program, not the above unfortunately, but it helps to read it.

Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.

sounding word. It sounds like a nickname, right? "Hey, Tits, come here,. z+ k0 L9 }# u* f$ }7 [1 ?3 }

completely insensetive to people's feelings. I can understand why

MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on0 d8 t" {( r/ f! o; F
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.
- K; a3 X- P9 h E9 C3 I1 v* II mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend

It's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the
2 p6 d# u8 k2 p; ]* v7 tother 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go
5 g. u8 N6 l# e. Stogether of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that
1 Y- L4 K7 H& s r7 IPiss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were
/ Z: o2 ] k2 k! J5 P V- S' d1 ?certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I$ h( G4 O) w+ k6 B
don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such) s% _3 @5 g$ ^" f6 M' F! [, S- n
stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."

I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for

I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any

clinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,

But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words.

the bible. ha ha ha ha. There are some 2-way words, like it is okay for

say "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding

0 w" H% V, n3 P- a5 Rgoes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You2 y4 J. A* }$ r! b& ] f) j. k
