As for specific words??? Dunno, is there a list??

No.

Who makes the list then?

George Carlin, at last count.

More like nobody. How did we all get to hear that routine?

Believe it or not, the comedy routine was aired as part of an academic
program series on how language affects civilization, not in an attempt
by the station to flaut "authority".

The FCC, in response to the listener's complaint, sent Pacifica
Foundation (the licensee) a letter in essence saying "take care not
to overstep the boundary of indecency". When the FCC declined to
define the boundary (almost the venerable "you'll know it when it
happens" stance so popular in that time), Pacifica, not the FCC,
took the matter to court to force the issue.

The "unintended consequences" are well known.....

The text of the routine, BTW, is printed out in full as an
attachment to the decision of the Supreme Court of the U.S.
(Pacifica v FCC).
