It does, however, contain a word that is.


And as every communications or constitutional lawyer knows, the
"Seven Dirty Words " (not the actual title of the monologue by
George Carlin) has no standing at all in law, and was attached to
the Supreme Court's _Pacifica_ decision only because it was the
thing that the original complaining listener objected to being
broadcast.

The FCC has never used a list of words for enforcement purposes.
