Psychology deals with human mental processes and behavior. If there's one person who truly understood other humans, it was George. Psychologist and these so called "experts" didn't need to change the words with other fancy terminology, they only did that to look smarter and to further increase their self importance.
"..and its need for precise terminology" Do you really think that changing simple words for some scientific jargon is going to make things more precise?
I've never had a problem telling people that I am an old cripple. It's true and it directly describes my condition. Went to a new doctor the other day. He asked me if I had always been crippled (I had never used the term in his presents). Right off I thought, I like this guy.
No it isn't dumbass. Thats the whole point, you can have any opinion you want .Honestly I hate all of the human race. Look up the definition of nigger, then blow me.
@sprockettongue arabs are semites too but term "anti-semitic" usually reefers to jew hater. Calling Israeli commandos murderers is pretty anti-semitic. If I would refer to american commandos as "murderers" I would sound very anti american. Don't you think?
@cinamonrocknroll1 OMG, you really don't get this... and you don't get Carlin. He goesnt ever use soft, PC language, but that doesn't mean he hates jews. He was not talking about all jews, just the well known counts of Israeli snipers shooting civilians and being euphemized as commandos. He also calls out the CIA but I don't think that means he hates Americans. You are being the exact hyper sensitive PC type he finds ridiculous... lighten up.
It makes it all so much better that I'm hearing this with the same ears that listened to Thomas and the Tank engine. Carlin's voice opened up my imagination then and it enlightens me now. RIP.
The practise of retaining the definition of statements through the elaboration of one's vocabulary to extract the maximum value of emotional impact has developed a result of the stated action becoming a joyous performance of hilarity where the practisioners are likened to the society of greater wealth in the crown country of the United Kingdom during its ruling by the horizontally challenged majesty Victoria, as well as caused ones self to appear boasting of false superiority over ones comradery
"Passed away" or simply "passed" is a big pet peeve of mine. They're DEAD! "Passing" is something you do on the road when the car in front of you is going too slowly. When a person is dead, he or she is dead. Just say it. I think it's a Christian thing and/or something people say when they didn't encounter death at a young age. My grandfather died when I was 3 and my father died when I was 11. They DIED. They didn't "pass".
its so true...chinese is so straight forward...theres only one or two words to describe one thing...but in english there's like 37849283295 ways to say the same thing. Chinese is not a graceful language at all...but it gets to the point.
I said the words "involuntary personal protein spill" during conversation with one of my friends who had never heard this before, and he laughed himself into collapse, and couldnt stop laughing nor stand for a good 5 solid minutes.
Where is the video of Carlin and euphemisms? It was here, on YT, I remember watching it. It was in 2008 and then 2009 but I wouldn't think it'd be taken down...
I agree with him. However, he makes the common mistake of saying "Americans" have this problem.... Actually, humanity has the problem. Confucius complained about this very phenomenon thousands of years ago in China. But I guess certain people derive a certain kind of perverted fun from slamming their own country.
@EternalAnachronism I'm not trying to be a flamer or anything like that, but why should be proud of America. Nationalism is nonsense and can be used as a tool to control people. There's no reason to be proud of the place you were born.
@ilikehairbands, Not at all. And this is where you have to consider your own prejudices, as they influence people to interpret things the way they do. If I say you shouldn't slam a person, that's not synonymous with saying that you should be a cheerleader for him. A person who slams America is foolish and childish. It simply means that he doesn't really know what life is like elsewhere. It's the same phenomenon as when a person is harder on those around him than on strangers.
@ilikehairbands, Sometimes those around you (e.g., neighbors) can SEEM worse than other people because you know them better, warts and all. This is why they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. But a wise person keeps things in perspective. As for Carlin, I didn't notice the dried-out old cynic living anywhere but America. And with his money, he certainly could have been his old miserable self anywhere he wanted.
This reminds me of how the city of Oakland eliminated crime on East 14th Street. They changed its name to International Boulevard. Yippie! Way to go Oakland. There is no crime on East 14th street in Oakland anymore! Now all Oakland has to do is eliminate all the crime on International Boulevard and the city will be safe. :)
Drug Addiction became Substance Abuse...doesn't that change makes the sheep herd think more negative of Drug Addicts, now they aren't no more Addicts that might have some problems, no now they are Abusers, what's next Chemical Cannibals or Pill Pedophiles. I think and say it loud: These changes are by design...or they are complete morons that suffer from a thinking disorder.
News reporters now refer to rape as "sexual assault." We don't have rapists, child-molesters or perverts. Now we have "sex offenders," or people who commit "sexual misconduct."
No one is shy anymore. They suffer from "social anxiety." No one daydreams. They experience "attention deficit." No one is a nerd. They have "asperger's syndrome." And no one is a fop. The fops have become the "metrosexuals."
I just produced & released a comic book illustrating the life story of George Carlin, in my opinion the greatest comedian, philosopher and truther of all time! To locate me if you want one, message me or Google "DigitalCAPS COMICS George Carlin" and just find the store on my website.

@flipstud32 : "My first sexual encounter involving penetration was in junior high school with a college freshman. I didn't know left from right. He showed me how. I've never considered myself bisexual but, this is passé: I have enjoyed the comfort of men from time to time, even during my marriage with Rhonda..." Fr. p. 218 of “Last Words” by George Carlin, paperback (ISBN-10: 1439191107) : 320 pages, published by Free Press, reprint edition (November 2, 2010)
Now it's called "post-traumatic stress" because the word "disorder" implies that something is wrong with the person. Because you know, when a veteran shoots up his office because he thought his boss yelling at him was some brown guy tasing his balls, theres nothing wrong with him.
-(cont) that was a private conversation. I don't care about what he says to a scheming gold-digger. Everybody knows the distinction of said conversation. Niggers exist in every race. Oh...were you offended by that? Fuck you, I'm an american and its my right. Don't hesitate to reciprocate. If you're an American its your right to disagree, but you can't shut me up because of it. Fuck people with their Lonestar cards. My taxes buy these dicks; candy, soda and energy drinks, while they drive a lexus
I bet George Carlin didn't give a shit, but he probably was on Mel Gibson's side like I am. Sure, he said some things that offended people,but who gives a shit? Any one of the people that attack him for drinking a bottle of Tequila, and then spewing forth some crazy shit (which ANYONE is GUARANTEED to do drinking as much as he did) is a hypocrite or a liar. In America you are supposed to be allowed to offend people. It pisses me off that everyone here has such a thin skin. As for his phone call-
@angelwhite Oh well, deal with it. Niggers exist in all races. Jews are oppressive and want everyone to apologize for anything said. Anti-Semite is a trick used by Jews into getting more money. Fuck you,women get away with shit that if a man did, he would get his ass beat.
@MDizzle3282 Jews are oppressive? WTF? N@#$#@ exist in all races?!!? You just label entire group of people as oppressive?!?! How calling someone anti-semite gets jews money you talking about?!?! What a stupid dumbass you are!
@cinamonrocknroll1 I can say what I want. Don't be jealous you can't. I'm allowed to offend in America. I don't have to apologize because something I said made your butt hurt. I don't like Jews either, they all act like they were in the "holocaust". Yes, niggers exist in all races. You are the stupid dumb-ass.
@ulfgundarsson you're watching a video about that criticizes euphemisms and you're throwing around that "r-word" like a champ... LOL I don't think throwing around terms like that are going to impact much of this audience... LMAO
People don't question things mainly because of words like these. The point of the soft language is just what Carlin says the effect of it is, it softens the words, and covers the true meaning in jargon. If the US ever needs to depopulate something, they can do so, because no one questions what that REALLY means, just "The government will take care of us" and "we have a population problem as it is".
A book from US studies class had a bunch of military euphemisms that people use to make it sound like things are nicer than they are in war :P I do really hate how everyone always uses soft language though, I prefer words that actually express what you mean.
I feel proud of myself though for already know the "neutralize" thing. It was funny, Leon said it on Resident Evil 4, and I was like "You mean you killed him?"
Here in the UK, the original birthplace of the English Language, we have a saying which goes something like this - "a spade is a spade, so why not call it that". Basically it means say exactly what you mean & don't mince your words - don't go all airy fairy just to spare blushes or hurt feelings. In Yorkshire, UK people are known for blunt speaking & you know EXACTLY where you stand with them. Americans are equally well known for word embroidery - simple words and expressions turned PC crap.
@MadcapMacabre That good ol orwellian speak, isn't it beautiful how freedom means obidience to the goverment nowdays..."you get your freedom, IF YOU DO WHAT WE TELL YOU, peace"
@MadcapMacabre Hes the guy who would be in charge of the country in a better world. But not, the honest one is the joker and the liars and theives are in charge.
I wonder what they'll call someone like me as an Anime Fan and Gamer. They might call my love for Anime OOD (Oriental Obsession Disorder). I wonder they'll call Gamers in the future.
To take away the reality of our language is a nice simple evolution into a world of cold academic bullshit. Positivism, gotta love it. In fact, you HAVE to love it.
Euphemisms can fool even intelligent people. I consider myself clever enough and I always knew soft words are used to hide hard facts. Yet every time I heard the word "sexual assault" I always thought it was something else than rape. I knew it involved hurting someone in a sexual way, but only when I read the word rape about the story, I realized what the real deal was. Euphemisms prevent thinking, whether you're good at it or not. It's no use if you're smart.
George,if i can have you on stage once again...I really miss you,,,But,i guess this is what you achieved...there are people who will never forget you.there are people that have your speeches in their ipods like i do.there are people who woke up and start thinking about bullshit that is all around us thanks to you and your carefully choosen words.There are people who know better-people like you!
I had a great uncle in the Civil War (Union) who participated in some of the fiercest battles of 1862. After his capture in the Battle of Chantilly, he was released and subsequently discharged for "heart trouble" but this seemed strange since he died in his 80's. Upon later investigation, I eventually discovered this was vernacular for "Soldier's Heart". Soldier's Heart was the first term coined for what would later become Shell Shock, Battle Fatigue, Operational Exhaustion, and finally, PTSD.
It's so sad that he died before they came up with a euphemism for Torture (Enhanced Interrogation)! I would of loved to hear what his thoughts were on that!
While the comparatively plain reading might lose some of the comedic aspect, it only shines a greater light on the truth and honesty of what he's saying. The man is a patron saint of brutal honestly.
@966631514 Strange... My up-to-date psychology texts, which I read while earning my degree, all said PTSD. And so does the DSM IV-TR, and so do all the healthcare providers at the psychiatric office where I work. Don't know where you got your info but I believe you're incorrect.
@966631514 There is no PTSD in the psychology world, post-traumatic stress is just a lazy way of saying it, because soldiers aren't out there getting post-traumatic stress disorder, they're reacting normally to things that the human body should not have to react to in any circumstances; when a vet comes home fucked up from the war, that's NORMAL, no doubt they need help, therapy, anything that can help, but don't downplay war simply by saying people ended up with PTSD
It's strange to hear him reading his material. I still have this bit on one of his "live" HBO shows-on audio cassette. This is good stuff alright, I'm just not sure why he wanted to do that. Doesn't have that comedic impact like in a stage show.
@max2right I will too. In fact, I suggest everyone do one thing in tribute to the 2012 Election: Wear a brown ribbon, informing the world that "The Public Sucks - Fuck Hope, Fuck Hope".

@ulfgundarsson you're watching a video about that criticizes euphemisms and you're throwing around that "r-word" like a champ... LOL I don't think throwing around terms like that are going to impact much of this audience... LMAO

People don't question things mainly because of words like these. The point of the soft language is just what Carlin says the effect of it is, it softens the words, and covers the true meaning in jargon. If the US ever needs to depopulate something, they can do so, because no one questions what that REALLY means, just "The government will take care of us" and "we have a population problem as it is".

A book from US studies class had a bunch of military euphemisms that people use to make it sound like things are nicer than they are in war :P I do really hate how everyone always uses soft language though, I prefer words that actually express what you mean.

Here in the UK, the original birthplace of the English Language, we have a saying which goes something like this - "a spade is a spade, so why not call it that". Basically it means say exactly what you mean & don't mince your words - don't go all airy fairy just to spare blushes or hurt feelings. In Yorkshire, UK people are known for blunt speaking & you know EXACTLY where you stand with them. Americans are equally well known for word embroidery - simple words and expressions turned PC crap.

Euphemisms can fool even intelligent people. I consider myself clever enough and I always knew soft words are used to hide hard facts. Yet every time I heard the word "sexual assault" I always thought it was something else than rape. I knew it involved hurting someone in a sexual way, but only when I read the word rape about the story, I realized what the real deal was. Euphemisms prevent thinking, whether you're good at it or not. It's no use if you're smart.
....Or maybe I'm just stupid :D

I had a great uncle in the Civil War (Union) who participated in some of the fiercest battles of 1862. After his capture in the Battle of Chantilly, he was released and subsequently discharged for "heart trouble" but this seemed strange since he died in his 80's. Upon later investigation, I eventually discovered this was vernacular for "Soldier's Heart". Soldier's Heart was the first term coined for what would later become Shell Shock, Battle Fatigue, Operational Exhaustion, and finally, PTSD.

It's so sad that he died before they came up with a euphemism for Torture (Enhanced Interrogation)! I would of loved to hear what his thoughts were on that!

@966631514 Strange... My up-to-date psychology texts, which I read while earning my degree, all said PTSD. And so does the DSM IV-TR, and so do all the healthcare providers at the psychiatric office where I work. Don't know where you got your info but I believe you're incorrect.

TeetoPlastic 9 months ago
@966631514 There is no PTSD in the psychology world, post-traumatic stress is just a lazy way of saying it, because soldiers aren't out there getting post-traumatic stress disorder, they're reacting normally to things that the human body should not have to react to in any circumstances; when a vet comes home fucked up from the war, that's NORMAL, no doubt they need help, therapy, anything that can help, but don't downplay war simply by saying people ended up with PTSD
