If you could ban anything in the English language...

[gauchecritic]

It's probably just me but..

Gotten. eeoow.

I hate when that happens. Feuch.

And finally; an ass is an animal not an arse which isn't a fanny either.

Gauche

Cunt is the worst word

Cunt is the worst word

Ah, but when used tactfully to describe a woman’s genitalia, it can be just so damn sexy!

I'll support you on that gauchecritic. I hate gotten, it's such an Americanism. As an Englishman, I just couldn't use it.

Any more than I could use ass, which I also hate.

Just reading through this thread, there are so many references to quotes by George Carlin. How many memorably things did he say? Who was he anyway?

In some company, it's perfectly alright to prick your finger, but very bad form to finger your prick - George Carlin

My father is a big fan of George Carlin. I have to admit, some of his sayings are very humorous if not thought provoking ....

Life Reflection's by George Carlin
1. Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.
2. I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.
3. I'm in shape. Round is a shape.
4. I'm desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.
5. Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?
6. I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.
7. Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?
8. Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?
9. You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is.
10. I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them.
11. One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.
12. They show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem.
13. Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall.
14. A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, "Don't you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" I said "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too".
15. Future historians will be able to study at the Jimmy Carter Library,the Gerald Ford Library, the Ronald Regan Library, and the Bill Clinton Adult Bookstore.

What would you ban?

Two words.

"Political Correctness"

Other than that, nothing at all. Censorship is a curse. I live in a country where there are no banned words. Every word is allowed in the media.

"Fuck" and "Fucking-this, fucking-that" are now used frequently. Which causes disdain among American tourists sitting at cafés and overhearing attractive, well-dressed men and women speaking their language puncuated with "fuck"...

Okay, newsreaders don't sit there and say, "The fucking terrorists struck again today..." but you get the point.

Oh, I know this was meant to be an amusing thread but my mood dictates otherwise...
