I always thought George Carlin told truth to power. And he really played with language like a master.

Lewis Black is good too, despite more F-bombs than you can count, but he doesn't have the way with words that Carlin did.

I've seen Lewis Black live and met him after one of his shows, and he is a totally nice guy, as opposed to his angry on stage persona. But he's not mad at anyone individually, he's just pointing out the stupidities in our society. "WHY should I keep up with the Kardashians?" for example.

Hubby and I like to make up new words. Like instead of saying "Let's get the fuck outta here," we say "Let's disenfuculate the place." Or "my fecal donation capacity is exceeded."

Creativity is important. This also includes learning to curse in foreign languages!!
