Questions about the famed Carlin routine.

**DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google or other research is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10488145#post10488145)

_ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _

**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.  
JUST LIKE THIS:

**1. answer \<\<—There is a space after the period!  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **4:00 PM Central** on Wednesday, 12/03/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

(In case anyone needs reminding, the seven words, according to George Carlin’s famed routine, are “shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.”)

Please don’t be shy. Spell them out, no asterisks please.

1. Name the most offensive of the seven.
2. Name the least offensive of the seven.
3. Name a euphemism for one of the seven.
4. Name a favorite two-way word (innocent in one context, dirty in another.)
5. In 6 words or fewer, name a situation when you would use one of the seven.
6. Other than ‘fuck you,’ name a phrase using ‘fuck.’
7. Name a phrase using ‘shit.’
8. Other than George Carlin, name a comedian who uses the seven a lot.
9. Name a movie that uses the seven a lot.
10. Name a person who actually used one of the seven on broadcast TV.
