A federal court struck down an FCC policy on indecency this week and now the government can no longer enforce its ban on the use of “fleeting expletives” (think: Janet Jackson). We wanted to know what words you would ban and we got some creative responses!

Gurukarm Kaur Khalsa writes on Facebook:

I'd ban the dead air and the little pings that replace the bad words. It's not like everybody doesn't know what was there, anyway. The non-replacement is MUCH more annoying than the word.

The conversation continued on Facebook:

John Ferry: Let the market decide what crosses the line.

James Ellsworth: I would [ban] racist commentary and terrorist support groups from advertising.

Colin McCoy: I would ban two words. Sarah Palin.

Steve Swiller: Palin

Heidi Watkins: Epic

Carrie Perez: At the moment: BP. They who must not be named.

Busted - when speaking of the damaged Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf. That word along with the trend to change nouns to verbs in an effort to appear more "cool" makes my word choice more closely approximate the Queen's English. 

Minal from Brooklyn, NY says:

"Post-racial,” like there is such a thing.

And Rick form Detroit emailed us to say:

I would ban the words or expressions: like, you know, to be honest with you and at the end of the day. No matter how intelligent the speaker, he/she sounds like an idiot.
