Seven Words You Can't Say On Google Instant

theodp writes "Back in 1972, Georgle Carlin gave us the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television. Thirty-eight years later, Valleywag reports on The Definitive List of Words Google Thinks Are Naughty. You've probably noticed how the new Google Instant tries to guess what you're searching for while you type — unless it thinks your search is dirty, in which case you'll be forced to actually press ENTER to see your results. Leave it to the enterprising folks at 2600 to compile an exhaustive list of words and phrases Google Instant won't auto-search for."

    Guess I'll discard the "always have to press ENTER" bug report.

  2. Is tit wrong.... by MountainMan101 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just love the endless amusement of typing "Is it wrong..." into google and seeing the list (to sleep with my dog/brother/mother).

    Well done Google.

  3. Nipples by Inda · · Score: 4, Funny

    I giggled like a little schoolgirl when I read that.

    We, the family, were talking about nipples last Sunday at dinner.

    Our guinea pig, Jason, died a few weeks back. We were never sure if he was a boy guinea pig or a girl guinea pig. My daughter, 10, said he must have been a girl as he had nipples. We all smiled and corrected her - boys have nipples too.

    Nipples. I'm still giggling like a girl (with nipples).

    Puritans are less repressed and repressive than Roman Catholics.
    This is your endorsement? Hahahahahaha.

    Why does everyone assume that Puritans never got any?

    It's a fact. They are pure and abstinent, just like their parents, and their parents before them.

    While very true.... it actually is kinda sad that thats true. One genocidal madman wears a toothbrush mustache and now nobody can rock the toothbrush. I dunno about you, but I always liked the toothbrush and occasionally silently lament that I can never even consider sporting it in peace.
