George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words have nothing on Russia's mat, a profane vocabulary that's common throughout the country, and especially prevalent in male-dominated spaces like prisons and the army. Mat has a long history in poetry, parody, and political speech, and, on Monday, Vladimir Putin signed legislation to…

America's sweetheart Julia Roberts apparently only knows a handful of bad words, and most of them are too tame to censor on network TV. Sally Field, meanwhile, knows all the curses, and will gleefully combine any one of them with the suffixes "-sucker" and "-licker."

Today's Staunton News Leader, a Gannett newspaper based in Virginia, came with a little surprise for the children.

Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live is more circus than talk show; tonight Real Housewife of New Jersey Jacqueline Laurita dropped a shit and an ass in one sentence.
