The "seven Dirty Words"
A famous citing of a litany of four-letter (and some longer) vulgar words was in the US FCC's censorship of comedian George Carlin's radioplay of his comedy routine "The Seven Words You Can't Say on Television", better known as the "Seven dirty words" skit ("shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits", in that order). Carlin later expanded the list in live and cable-televised performances to include over 100 words and phrases.

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or words:
“I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.”
—Julia A. Fletcher Carney (1823–1908)
