George Carlin - Euphemisms

In the age when torture has become "enhanced interrogation techniques"; when the rich are "job creators"; when murdered children are "collateral damage"; it is good to remember these brilliant words from the late, great, George Carlin.
It is also good to remember that the phrase "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" has now been officially changed in American English to "PTSD", a totally lifeless non-threatening acronym, totally devoid of even pity and with an almost whiny feel to it.

These one of these comments on every video about him

[@iamjacksyoutube5375]

I remember the day he died, I heard about it over the radio while driving to work. The dj said, "George Carlin passed away..." I called the station and the phone rang for 5-6 minutes, he was on air so I understand. When the dj finally answered I said, "George Carlin hated euphemisms. He has not 'passed away', he's not 'pushing up daisies', he hasn't 'gone to the great beyond', he is dead. Straight up, he is dead."

[@VitaSineLibertatenih]

He didn't die. He expired.

[@RangerOfTheOrder]

In a way, saying someone has been "neutralized" as opposed to "killed" is almost more sinister.

[@poyani]

DrivenByDiamond It is more sinister now because of its usage during the Vietnam War era. That was the word military and political leaders used back then. Because of their use, and the history of that war, the phrase has become sinister. There are now new euphemisms (like "pre-emptive strike" or "right to defend" which are used in direct contradiction to their actual meaning.)

[@WytZox1]

Or how about calling a soldier who gets killed a "casualty" while the soldier who has found a convenient way to goof off and avoid being a casualty by leading a casual life is called a "goldbrick." ☺

[@NGameReviews]

@@abby361 true, but what he was pointing out is that the condition's name has been changed so many times that society has never taken it seriously because no one knows what PTSD (or shell shock) is anymore. It changes with the times, and no awareness is raised for it and in the end, no one cares. And if the name is changed again, there's no doubt people will be confused and not know what signs to look for with PTSD, leading them to assume they're 'crazy' or worse, apply another entirely unrelated condition like 'schizophrenia'.

[@Xervello]

Seriously, how could he remember all that shit. It's amazing enough he came up with all that, moreso that he could recite it without skipping a beat with perfectly delivery.

[@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Xervello I doubt he remembered it all word for word, I'm guessing he's doing it all extemporaniously, which was probably also helped by the truth of his words..... its easier to recite the truth than invent a lie.... Hence the low amount of conservative comedians in the world.

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

Of course he rememberd it...word by word. Probably been reading the script 500 times or so before he goes on the stage.

[@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

LOLLYPOPPE Does he seem like the kind of guy who needs to remember a script in order to tell you about all this?

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

No, because this is a part if the act. His humour only worked because of the kind of authority he was on stage. His early comedy was not like this at all. You have to be pretty awesome on the stage to make the audience laugh by telling them how stupid they are. Only stuttering on one single word could ruin that image, so that is why I think every single sound he made on stage was planned 100%

[@thomasc7610]

You're not the only one who wondered that. Bill Maher also asked that question shortly after his death on a radio show. Of course he probably didn't remember his scripts word for word but when something means that much to you, when you're passionate about it, when it's an original thought, I think you can do what he does. Plus he's also been in the show business for almost his entire life. I can recite my favorite parts from his shows for the same reason.

Indy Revoly Ya, I would definitely agree that he was extremely liberal. But he was a bit of a traditional-libertarian, in that he agreed with much of the constitution and it’s purpose. Like, limiting the power and control of the government. He definitely did not trust the government and worried that it would become increasingly tyrannical. Which is what the constitution was supposed to prevent. And boy, was he right. I agree with his views on pretty much everything, and I would consider myself somewhere between a progressive and a traditional libertarian.

Yesterday I was in a class, we were talking about handicap. A girl said "handicaped children" and another one commented on that point saying she felt shoked she used "handicaped". This segment imediatly comes to my mind. Handicaped became "person in situation of handicap". As if changing a label could change a life. From 4 to 11 syllabels. Amazing.

Well, many of the words he talks about being replaced are also replaced with their definition. Besides, the Swedish word for rape, våldtäkt, basically translates to "taking someone by force/violence", it doesn't need to be changed

B!ack. You mean: Addict - "broke folk given as slaves to the people they owed money to. - Roman Times" Addict - "Latin Addictus, which meant a debtor awarded as a slave to his creditor." Addict - "1600s Used in the sens of giving yourself to someone or some practice." Addict - " Dependency on morphine and later other drugs. - 1900s" Cute - "Shortuened for of acute, meaning keenly perceptive and shrewd - 1730s" Cute - "Meaning pretty, charming and dainty - 1830s" Husband - "German Words 'hus' and 'bunda' mean 'house' and 'owner'. Husband - "Originally hand nothing to do with marital status, except that home ownership made husbands extremely desirable marriage partners in 13th century." Husband - "Slang shortened to 'hubby' was first used in 1680s" Nice - "Derived from latiin nescius 'ignorant'. Foolish or silly." Nice - Middle Ages made it netural like 'shyness and reserve'. Nice - 18th Century positively charged it as "Nice" we know today as a positive adjective.
