George Carlin on modern society's pre-occupation with sanitising everything using euphemisms and euphemistic language.
From his 1990 HBO special "Doin' It Again".
A quick note: I have made ONE edit in this video - I removed a line with the f-word in it so my devout Christian father could watch and enjoy it (apprently the word "bullsh*t" doesn't offend him as much).

So you softened the language so your dad could watch? LOL! Didn't Carlin talk about the power of words being the intent not the actual word minutes before the piece you put up?
