"Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television", also known as "Seven Dirty Words", was a comedy routine by George Carlin that used seven words that were considered inappropriate for use on television. A 1973 airing of a similar monologue by Carlin, "Filthy Words" led to a Supreme Court ruling which redefined what is currently considered "indecent" vs. "obscene" speech on TV and radio.
