    american broadcasting standards

    I think my search skills suck, since I couldn’t find anything specific to curse words in the US, other than the “Seven Dirty Words” from George Carlin[0,1]. From what I understand, the FCC does not have an official list of words[2], even on their official website[3] (which seems to lack a fact sheet), but does seem to follow what Carlin said. That leads me to believe that the words I wrote are offensive on a cultural basis. The B word is notably absent from all these lists, which I do find strange as a Brit, since calling someone a B is far more targetted[4, see Table1] at women than calling someone a cunt or a twat (which can be used equally and even colloquially).

    In German media, swearing is virtually completely allowed, though I can only find secondary sources. Hell even in our “congress”, swearing happens quite freely[5].
