"If you've got a leg, and a cat, you've got a party!" "Oh boy!" "Oh boy!" "Oh boy!" "I'll rub his leg, oh boy!" "I'm rubbing on his leg, oh boy!" "If you've got two legs, shit!" "Jubilee celebration time!" "Oh boy!" "Two legs!" "Hot shit!" "I can do the figure eight!" "They love to do the figure eight!" "Oh boy, oh boy!" "I love to rub on his leg!" "They'll rub against your leg even if you're not there yet!" "You may still be 50 feet down the hall!" "They see you coming:" "Oh, boy!" "Oh, boy!" "Oh, boy!" "Soon I'll be rubbing on his leg!" "They'll move on sideways so they don't miss you!" "Oh, boy!" "Oh boy!" "They love it!" "They're so physical!" "You don't have to pet a cat!" "You just put your hand over, and he'll do all the work!" "Have you ever petted a cat who's lying absolutely flat?" "Before you're halfway finished, hiss ass is way up in the air!" "Like you pressed the ass-button or something!" "Isn't he a cute little..." "Holy shit!" "How did he do that?" "Then they jump on your chest and put their ass right in your face!" "Here's my ass, dad!" "Check this ass, huh?" "And while they're showing you their ass, they give you some of this stuff:" "I say, "get him off of me!"" "Jesus, I hate that!" "I don't even know what it is and I don't like it!" "Looks like they're into some bad drug!" "There's one other quality cats have, which I admire..." "Cats don't accept blame!" "They don't embarrass at all!" "Cats do something dumb, you never know by looking at them!" "Dog knocks over a lamp, you can tell who did it just by looking at the dog!" "Not the cat!" "Cat doesn't accept any blame!" "Cat moves along to the next activity!" "What's that?" "Not me!" "Fuck that!" "I'm a cat!" "Something break?" "Ask the dog!" "Cat doesn't get embarrased." "Ever seen a cat race across the carpet and crash into the glass door?" "I meant that, I meant that, I meant that...!" "That's exactly how I wanted that to look!" "Fucking me-ow!" "Fucking me-ow!" "Fucking me-ow!" "That's what they say when they get behind the couch!" "A cat's too proud to let you see him suffer!" "If you look behind the couch, you'll find your cat recuperating from a domestic accident!" "They've got little slings and walkers, you know?" "Tried to make the window from the lamp!" "Little kitty-kat!" "Goddamn kitty-kat!" "Do you realise Hitler only had one ball?" "What do you think about a man with one ball?" "Do you think he has two strikes against him?" "Maybe he's got one ball and two strikes!" "Hitler only had one ball!" "A lot of people don't know that!" "They say: "Hitler, geeze!" "He had a lot of balls!"" "One!" "Sometimes I was trying to get a list of words together that would fairly represent the dirty words!" "'Cause nobody gives you a list of dirty words!" "Alright!" "Have you noticed that?" "There's some words that are perfectly clean but sound like they could be filthy if you gave them just a little help!" "A word like "pussyfoot"..." "It's perfectly clean!" "But when you say "Pussyfoot!" there's a little giggle!" "'Cause people know that with a little help this word could be filthy!" "No matter what form of the verb you try." "It's clean, as a verb." "But "pussyfoot" could be a noun." "Could be a noun!" ""Pussyfoot"." "A rare disorder!" "Female birth defect!" ""Hello, boys!"" ""I have pussyfoots!"" ""God, you sure do, lady!"" ""And I love them open-toed shoes you have on!"" "Well, I'd rather have "pussyfoot" than "woodpecker", I can say that!" "...or "beer nuts"." "God, that must be awful!" "Beer nuts!" "The official disease of Milwaukee!" "I know whenever I see the little canister behind the bar I drop in a couple of dollars for beer nuts." "I think we need a lot more research on beer nuts!" "Or cottonballs!" "...which is the dreaded final stage of beer nuts!" ""When my beer nuts turn to cottonballs..."" ""I'll be heading home to you!"" "It's an old Southern hymn!" "There are lots of little phrases like that in the language which don't quite say what they mean..." ""Take a shit" is another one!" "Take a shit?" "You don't take a shit!" "You LEAVE a shit!" "That's the whole idea!" "To leave it!" " "I left a shit!" - "Fine." "Thank you, Jeff!"" " "Where did you leave it?" - "In the icebox!"" " "I'm gonna take a shit!" - "Don't take one of mine!"" ""I only have two left and the weekend is coming up!"" ""Why don't you go home and take one of your own shits?"" ""Guy's always smooching off me!"" ""He must think I'm made of shit or something!"" ""Well, that shit don't grow in trees, you know!"" "Well, enough of that shit!" "Lot of little phrases like that! "Pick your nose" or "blow your nose!"" ""Blow your nose" is a phrase." "Imagine that!" "Blowing your nose!" "I don't believe they really mean that, do you?" "You can't blow your nose!" "I believe it's physically impossible!" "To blow your nose!" "You might get somebody else to blow your nose!" "But it would have to be a real good friend!" ""Cocktails"..." "Another clean word..." "You can advertise and you can put up signs all over town!" ""Cocktails"!" "Long as you use both halves of the word..." "Perfectly fine!" "But you can't advertise either one of those two items if your break those words in half..." "They'll come and take your sign down!" ""Cocktail"!" "It's OK!" "It depends on how you say that kind of word! "You ladies like some cocktails?"" ""Hey lady!" "You want a cock-tail?"" ""Cockpit" Men don't like to laugh about that!" ""Cockpit" Get it?" "Oh, yeah..." ""Bang-kok"" "There's a lovely city!" "How would you like to be a hooker in Bangkok?" "Would seem like a natural habitat!" ""Peacock!" NBC is really proud of their "peacock!"" "Do you know what a female peacok is?" "A peacunt!" "You ever knew that?" "I had to look it up!" "So..." "My list I just was trying to isolate the words that are always filthy, not the ones that are sometimes dirty!" "...And the original list was "shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits"." "This is all I could think of in one sitting!" "One try!" "No, we had to add two." "We had..." ""Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits..."" "...and then we added "fart, turd and twat"." "Which also don't have other meanings, you know?" "Twat's twat, and that's that!" "But after a while, it didn't take long." "Well, it took quite a while, but I finally discovered that there were only two words on the list that really had to deal with... two... sort of to look at the double standard that television uses as language is concerned." "The two words were "fart" and "fuck"." "Those are the only two." "They seem similar, 'cause you can't say either one of them." "You can't say "fart" and you can't say "fuck"." "No matter how cleverly you try to work them in no matter how clinical the conversation is..." ""Fart" and "fuck" will not show up on the final take:" "You simply cannot say them." "But that's where the similarity ends, 'cause at least for the word "fuck", even though you can't say the word "fuck" you can talk about fucking, or you can refer to fucking..." "There's lot of fuck-talk going on on TV!" "They just don't call it fucking!" "That's the secret!" "They don't use that word!" "There's plenty of fuck!" "Have you seen people who wrote a book about fucking?" "You've seen a guy in a talk show with a book about fucking!" "How to fuck, who to fuck, when to fuck, what to fuck, and how to feel after you fuck!" "This man is a fuck expert, and he wrote a fuck book and he's talking to Merv Griffin about fucking!" "And he's getting away with it, 'cause he don't call it fucking!" "Same with the soap operas, everybody- You take a look at the soap operas!" "Everybody is fucking somebody in the soap operas!" "If they're not fucking somebody they're trying to fuck somebody!" "Will he fuck her?" "Did he fuck her?" "Has he fucked her?" "Should he fuck her?" "Can he fuck her some more?" "Will they fuck too much?" "Will they get silly from fucking?" "Who's fucking who?" "That's all you wanna know!" "Is what the fuck is going on on this program here!" "You know that somebody is getting fucked!" "And you think it's you!" "So there's lot of fuck-talk and there's plenty of fucking on TV, they just don't call it fucking!" "They call it everything else!" "Now, on the other hand, farts..." "Not only can you not mention the word "fart" but you can't refer to farts at all!" "That's how bad farts are!" "They're worse than fucking!" "You never hear anybody talking about farts on TV!" "Never seen a guy who wrote a book on farts!" "How to fart, who to fart, and how to feel after you fart!" "There's no fart experts on Merv Griffin show!" "You don't see any farts or fart references!" "It's a fart-free zone!" "Wouldn't you think after 35 years one guy by now would have gone:" "Just once!" "Just once I'd like to see someone on the Johnny Carson panel say:" ""Hey, Ed!" "Move down, man!"" ""That was a Clydesdale fart!"" "I hope I'd live to see that!" "Can I hope not, for Ed's sake!" "Well, anyway." "After a while, I realised I was needlessly restricting myself to seven words..." "And only to the ones that weren't allowed on TV!" "I mean, there were a lot more to be looked at..." "And television isn't the only place that objects to your language sometimes..." "Lots of situations where you're not supposed to say that..." "So I expanded the list by as many as I could..." "And I'd like to share some with you now." "The list is a little longer than it was before..." "First we start with the ones we already know: "Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits.."" ""...fart, turd and twat..."" ""Crap, balls, prick, asshole, jack-off...""
