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

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

Bad Words. That's what they told us they were, remember?

Wow! ...and Tits doesn't even belong on the list. That is such a friendly1 S, ^8 C0 x; |

MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on' n2 z" q% P8 @" ?9 D0 ~1 s% t
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.

you like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer."

other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go

9 Q& s# f* v$ z4 f% C. V* w4 qPiss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were

don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such2 Q8 t, F. j# M2 t' }
stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."3 ~4 H1 L+ V7 e, \$ f

a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but; y* j# _+ `$ L" Z( Q+ }6 I
I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for

But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words.5 | m, m/ C: c3 h8 y4 i# _( g
