The seven words you can’t use on American TV.
George Carlin died. The great George Carlin.
Shit. Fuck it. What a fucking motherfucker. Isn’t that a cunt? What a cocksucking motherfucker! That really gets on my tits.
That’s a strange old story, isn’t it?
Vlado Taneski, a Macedonian reporter, was in prison, accused of killing elderly women and then writing gruesome reports on their murders.

In other words, exactly the sort of thing my poor old mother would have stayed up all night reading about, smoking cigarettes, drinking tea and muttering darkly.

We’re screwed.
Goosed. Fucked. Knackered. Bollixed. Kiboshed. Stuffed. Ruined. Shattered.
