I think that only one of those words has any shock value left at all.  What say ye?

They were talking about this on Howard Stern today and had the same viewpoint as you. They felt that the list would be completely different now compared to when Carlin wrote that bit.

My first visit to the board after he passed away, the "7 words" went into my signature. One thing you can say for George Carlin...he was his own man, and his comedy was as unique as anyone out there.

You can actually say "shit," "piss" and "tits" on tv now as long as the show runs past 9pm.  NYPD Blue was the first one to do it, they said "shit", "piss" and "asshole" all in one epsiode.

Tits and piss are nothing.

Shit is almost nothing.

Fuck, Motherfucker, and cocksucker are pretty bad.

Cunt is still the worst, unless it's said by a Brit, in which case it's kinda funny.

I think this is the worst word in the English language.  I won't even go as far aso to use that one.

I use cunt in my own way...I say "C.U.Next. Tuesday."  It has gained popularity as people figure it out.

I have no problem using any of these words, but generally use tact. There is a time and place to curse and time and place not to (although these are just words in my opinion I know others may not care for it). Cunt is only used at my most angry moments and is generally used in a hurtful way. Cocksucker is my current favorite word and I use it alot when I miss easy pool shots. On a sidenote the word appears regularly on a Canadian TV program called the Trailer Park Boys.
