I love words. I thank you for hearing my words.

7 d2 P+ i- |, S/ w7 L- sWords are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.6 t9 n+ n& S$ V: a
then we assign a word to a thought and we're stuck with that word for

There are some people that are not into all the words.

5 H# H4 }2 l- G0 _* N5 W( mThere are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7( o% r& ]; H) R: R8 x2 B+ c6 P% V' E& ^
of them you can't say on television. What a ratio that is./ ^7 C+ _4 G- Z1 R/ L
399,993 to 7. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous

"That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions,* `$ _- d3 J. X6 j9 n _& F" o
and words. You know the 7, don't you, that you can't say on television?" | w+ d c9 _$ W/ a
"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"

"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"' e6 A# E; F/ u3 I9 V h4 B
Wow! ...and Tits doesn't even belong on the list. That is such a friendly( `+ |- C4 }" @0 ]6 X# {+ s! G
sounding word. It sounds like a nickname, right? "Hey, Tits, come here,
1 n" s" B( {% @1 x: G9 gman. Hey Tits, meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots." It sounds like a6 U# C$ w7 O3 R
snack, doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is a snack. I don't mean your sexist

2 f, C' C+ _/ oOne." That's true. I usually switch off. But I mean, that word does

but you can understand why some of them are there. I'm not' Q) T5 I3 U2 W* E
completely insensetive to people's feelings. I can understand why
; @7 N: W) p( V' B8 Isome of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and
3 W( S. v4 H7 pMotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on
3 g1 b6 G% E: {, _there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.$ J8 d7 j0 J! I0 N/ N! M: H
I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend, W+ Y9 \& _. S* b& t- [( R
with. And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at: `7 N( y7 u w P
you like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer."
0 O$ y% X% E$ d+ R! Z5 t3 M+ xIt's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the* Y/ W( A- z3 K0 X
other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go
' X! {& V% a, Z- n! gtogether of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that
; G2 g, ^. I1 U' Z& D/ ~ XPiss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were
$ V$ v8 N6 t2 t: l: l: o7 M- y# Jcertain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I- U" z1 z8 b& V! g# j5 t$ B
don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such b* `; h; L2 S Q# z: y
stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."
2 v1 D; h! |$ jAnd, of course, the word Fuck. I don't really, well that's more
C8 R m9 r8 l7 D& E2 ?accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think
" }; p- \, N' `$ o/ {it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very
1 W7 d, j$ U$ D; y8 ^6 A0 Ximprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to( j9 V6 z' }+ k
hurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,5 K- V6 b' K& B8 C7 w8 c5 @$ B
"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love" j! h& |$ L9 Q9 `
than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is# S; P8 G* k$ O1 M
a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but
& i# Y3 |# I) o7 KI like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for8 j) X" A ]# K9 L: G) W# @
the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,
W* m* ]0 x- gSherrif, we're gonna Fuck you now, but we're gonna Fuck you slow."

I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any M" k$ M; F) A* A- o8 w
circumstanses. You just cannot say them ever ever ever. Not even
, n) W2 ?8 Y l$ }" k Nclinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,

But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words. D* B5 [: P) | Z, h1 C
Remember the ones you giggled at in sixth grade? "...And the cock
' i* ?" k. d2 h' dCROWED 3 times" "Hey, tha cock CROWED 3 times. ha ha ha ha. Hey, it's in
% P$ N; a7 t0 m% [the bible. ha ha ha ha. There are some 2-way words, like it is okay for
; J; m/ m6 w% J6 Z" `8 c: BKirk Youdi to say "Roberto Clametti has 2 balls on him.", but he can't' B* {3 \* n: d8 p7 ~3 Q
say "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding
8 o- X5 H3 V' H1 Fthem. He must've hurt them, by God." and the other 2-way word that
3 j. g* O0 l! S$ I+ h. jgoes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You/ {) v" a2 u4 I# n6 B1 Z
can prik your finger but don't finger your prik. No,no. |
