83 words you can't say on Verizon Wireless

George Carlin - ValleywagDon't ask us how we got it, or how many honkeys and limeys we had to kill for it, but after the jump is Verizon Wireless's list of inadmissable naughty words. Verizon content providers (including many online news and entertainment sources) are banned from using obvious words like "fuck" and its derivatives, a smattering of racial slurs, and "queer" and "lesbo" — always a perfect way to pick a fight with more audacious gay rights activists. Ahh, the freedom of communication under New Media.

But the real reason I'm publishing this list is the more creative entries: "fleshpopsicle," "spearchucker," and "whiteswallow" (which I thought was one of the birds Craig Newmark feeds in his backyard). Like an 11-year-old boy, we had not thought of saying these words until we heard them, but now those words taste so good in our mouths.

Use the phrase "flesh popsicle" in a sentence today.

Disclosure: As far as I can tell, certain (but not all) entries from Gawker Media blogs are republished through Verizon and thus fall under these guidelines.

————— Forwarded message —————

No Content provided to Subscribers of Verizon Wireless from Content Providers, whether in the form of text, audio, images, video or otherwise, may contain any of the words listed in Appendix A. This includes any variations in spelling of the words (e.g., fuck, phuck, fucks, fucker, fucked, fucking, etc.), any variations in pronunciation of the words (e.g., nigger, nigga, niggahs, etc.) or any combinations or creations containing any of the words (e.g., ass, assboy, asslicker, uptheass, etc.).

Nonetheless, it is not possible to compile a definitive list of unacceptable words. Language is fluid, with new words and phrases regularly entering the public vocabulary, and established meanings may change over time. For this reason, the list of prohibited words in Appendix A may change from time to time and is not meant to be all-inclusive.
