2,443 Dirty Words (NSFW) Many of you remember Carlin's famous "10 words you can't say on the airwaves" monologue. Well, at his site he has an expanded list with such categories as male genitals, ejaculate and sexual arousal (both sexes). It's crude, potentially probably offensive, very NSFW and funny as hell if this is the type of thing you like. What are your favorite terms?

  • One personal theory of mine is that almost any professional wrestler's name works as a potential nickname for your or your partner's penis. Try it: Andre the Giant The Hulk The Rock The Hitman The Undertaker Bruno Sammartino (Off point, but what the hell.)

  • Mille Mascaras?
  • ON FOR ONE'S GREENS Ah, lettuce salad... And there's a mexican wrestler called the Blue Demon...
  • I recall when I first heard his expanded version of the dirty word list on some HBO special in the early 80's and for some reason was blown away by the idea of a "clusterfuck." Had never occurred to my 13 year old brain to think of such a thing! Plus I loved the the cadence of the word and used to repeat it to myself. It does roll nicely off the tongue: clusterfuck, clusterfuck, clusterfuck.

  • If a one does not use a close combat sock on the corey while vaulting, it might result in a delicate condition -- or even worse, one might find one's self with the neapolitan bone ache.
  • Owwwwww
  • What? No John Thomas? Love, Mr. Happy
  • At work I sometimes refer to some mess as a "Cluster Situation". People know what I mean. Shame on them.
  • kittenhead - I love that and "circle-jerk" for the same reason. I think it's the rhythm. Uh, not that kind of rhythm.
  • for some reason was blown away by the idea of a "clusterfuck." Mongolia's number one export!
  • Why is it a Mongolian clusterfuck? As opposed to Libyan or Indonesian or something. That is my current obsession.
  • A lot of swear words have a nice cadence to them. Cocksucker and motherfucker come to mind. Plus, they rhyme!
  • furiousdork, I think it's some UN thing.
  • Wow that sure is a lot of dirty words. Wow, that sure is some crap web design. Every friggin' link I clicked (yes, even the one at the bottom of the page marked "back") inexplicably spawned a new tab in Firefox. I'm also not sure about the formatting of the word list... why do any phrases longer than 3 words have a hard line break inserted in the middle? For example: PURPLE HELMETED WARRIOR OF LOVE I mean, what is that? Formatting for a cell phone screen, or what? (Do I bitch about every crap website I see? It's quite possible. I enjoy being irritable.) Koko - a friend of mine decided to stop swearing (she has a new baby, figured she shouldn't start the kid off saying "fuck" as his first word) so she started saying "poop" instead. She went back to swearing like a sailor when she realized that shouting out "Motherpooper!" at the guy who just cut her off in traffic just really didn't sound right at all. No real cadence or strength there. It just wasn't worth it for her.
  • Do you guys have habitual swear phrases for specific sweartastic situations? I do; People looking up to no good in the back lane; ie. messing with somebody's car = HEY! What the fuck ya doin' asshole? People doing something stupid with a car near me as I try and pedestriate = Hey! Way to drive like an asshole, ya fukkin' cocksucker! Aggressive panhandlers = Never going to happen, get the fuck outta my face. I have to say that I love swearing. If I couldn't swear like a sailor about 75% of the time - I have no problem not swearing around people I like whom I know it'd offend for the other 25% - I don't think I'd say another word. Probably indicates a severe failing of character on my part, but I ams what I ams.
