Why are people associating George Carlin’s “Seven Words You Can’t Say on TV” with Blink-fucking-182?

Of course you can _spell_ all of those on the SDMB; you just can’t _say_ them…

Or a tasty snack often eaten in countries where people speak with accents. I’m referring, of course, to “pork faggots”. Excellent product. And good advice, I’m told.

From:

[http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/radio/musicprog.htm](http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/radio/musicprog.htm)

“Semprini Serenade : ‘Old Ones, New Ones, Loved Ones, Neglected Ones…’ with Alberto Semprini (left) and his Orchestra. Some critics dismissed it as musical treacle but a loving and loyal audience lapped it up for more than 25 years during which he made more than 700 programmes.”

The sort of radio program that was liked by the people of the age group of the parents of the Monty Pythom Crew. Hence, not a word to be used inpolite company.

I had no idea! :eek:  
An actual list of verboten words on the Dope:  
nigger  
fag  
cunt  
breeder  
retard  
gypsy/gypped  
white trash  
fat  
Nazi

Any of these words used seriously in a post are guaranteed to get somebody’s panties in a bunch.
