I love words. I thank you for hearing my words.
I want to tell you something about words that I think is important.
They're my work, they're my play, they're my passion.
Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid.
Then we assign a word to a thought and we're stuck with that word for that thought, so be careful with words. I like to think that the same words that hurt can heal, it is a matter of how you pick them.
There are some people that are not into all the words.
There are some that would have you not use certain words.
There are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7
of them you can't say on television. What a ratio that is.
399,993 to 7. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous
to be seperated from a group that large. All of you over here,you 7,
Bad Words. That's what they told us they were, remember?
"That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions,
and words. You know the 7, don't you, that you can't say on television?
"Sh_t, Piss, F_ck, C_nt, Co_kSucker, MotherF_cker, and Tits"
Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that'll infect your soul,curve your spine, and keep the country from winning the war.
"Sh_t, Piss, F_ck, C_nt, Co_kSucker, MotherF_cker, and Tits"
Wow! ...and Tits doesn't even belong on the list. That is such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname, right? "Hey, Tits, come here, man. Hey Tits, meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots." It sounds like a snack, doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is a snack. I don't mean your sexist snack. I mean New Nabisco Tits!, and new Cheese Tits, Corn Tits, Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits, Onion Tits, Tater Tits. "Betcha Can't Eat Just One." That's true. I usually switch off. But I mean, that word does not belong on the list.
Actually none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I'm not completely insensitive to people's feelings. I can understand why some of those words got on the list, like Co_kSucker and MotherF_cker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.
I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend with. And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at you like "co_KsuCKer, motherf_CKer. co_KsuCKer, motherf_CKer."
It's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Sh_t earlier, and 2 of the
other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and C_nt, which go
together of course. A little accidental humor there. The reason that
Piss and C_nt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were
certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I
don't mind F_ck and Sh_t but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such stupid sentences as "Okay you f_ckers, I'm going to tinkle now." And, of course, the word F_ck. I don't really, well that's more accidental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think it takes to long. But I do mean that.
I think the word F_ck is a veryimprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to hurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said, "I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word F_ck for
the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,
Sheriff, we're gonna F_ck you now, but we're gonna F_ck you slow."
