Reuters: LOS ANGELES - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.
When I was 8 years old (1972) my family went to Europe to visit my Godmother and tour Paris, England and Spain, on the plane there was a comedy channel which I had dialed in to the ear buds for most of the flight. One of the routines that I vividly recall was George Carlin’s 7 Dirty Words, just what an 8 year old needs to hear! Later in life I had a passion for comedy, I dabbled while on the radio working a couple of morning shows and being able to toss out a one-liner from time to time but I never pursued the career.
George Carlin along with Rodney Dangerfield and up until a few years ago Richard Jeni were some of my favorite comedians whom I actually paid money for a ticket to see live, in fact I saw Carlin just last year here in Phoenix.
What were the 7 Dirty Words you can’t say on Television, here they are, with examples.
1. Shit - The bird shit on the statue.
2. Piss - I have to piss like a race horse.
3. Fuck - Fuck you.
4. Cunt - She has a nasty cunt.
5. Cocksucker - Go to hell, you cocksucker.
6. Motherfucker - You are a motherfucker.
7. Tits - Hey, nice tits.
Later in life he added several “auxiliary” words, they were.
1. Fart - I farted.
2. Turd - Who dropped a turd in the urinal?
3. Twat - Shave that hairy twat.
