Law

I lectured today on Joel Feinberg's 1983 essay "Obscene Words and the Law." It gave me an excuse to mention (not use!) the seven words you can't say on television (according to George Carlin). I'm about to list them, so stop reading right now if you're easily offended!

Shit
Piss
Fuck
Cunt
Cocksucker
Motherfucker
Tits

I wonder whether Carlin's monologue is on YouTube. If you find it, please send a link and I'll post it.
