During the nearly twenty years since the "seven words you can never say on television" first appeared on the class clown album, and especially since the time (1982) when the idea was expanded to include impolite expressions of all types, tv-banned or otherwise, hundreds of people have sent me suggestions on words and phrases which they thought ought to be included on the list. Some sent single items, while others submitted long lists they had obviously taken some trouble to compile. I wish now I had kept a record of their names. Not knowing I would one day attempt this project, my practice at the time was to add the submitted entries to my "filth" folder, send the person a few autographed items (albums, pictures, videos, shirts) in appreciation, and discard the original letters. I wish I had handled it differently so that I could give them credit here. But, of course, the real credit belongs to the thousands of people over the centuries who invented these phrases in the first place, folk poets, all. To those who sent me their suggestions, you know who you are, and I thank you from the bottom of my farting clapper.
