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

some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and9 ^, \/ i8 W4 {; z

there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.2 p' _) z8 t. V
I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend

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

5 v' _- s: f- Q$ |; r: @Piss 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 such

I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for8 {5 v3 E0 j3 h) ~. L* P5 A/ z
the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,

can prik your finger but don't finger your prik. No,no. |
