Can anyone think of some other examples that were played regularly, and not just a "here's a subversive track for you guys" For years in the late '90s/early '00s the alt-rock station in New Mexico would just play Sublime's "What I Got" with uncensored "gently caress"s. Lots of other songs too I'm pretty sure (not Creep though). I guess if they didn't already have a pre-censored version handy they just didn't bother censoring it themselves and somehow nobody cared? It was a Clearchannel station and everything!

Pretty sure there's a barely-audible "gently caress, wrong chord" in Hey Jude. I think it's the background right after "under your skin."

Another fun one is the song Louie Louie where everyone assumed the singer was saying something dirty because he was so hard to understand but failed to notice the drummer yelling gently caress part way through when he misses a beat.

The Who's "Who Are You?" has a "who the gently caress are you?" that almost never gets censored on the radio.

On the flip side, the song “Knocks You Down” has a radio edit that censors “I used to be commander in chief of my pimp ____ flying high” I guess because ship might sound like poo poo but in context that doesn’t make any sense. Also some Nicki Minaj song I can’t remember when she uses her real first name Onika...maybe it sounded like the n-word? Radio censorship feels really inconsistent sometimes.

I remember hearing What It's Like by Everlast on commercial radio once and they censored words like "pregnant", "killer", "gun" and "dimes", and that's how I found out "dime" was a slang term for a beautiful woman. Doesn't explain why they're censoring it, mind you.

Fortunately this version seems to be deleted from YouTube and from history. Captain Hygiene posted:I think John Lennon's Working Class Hero is the first one I remember just straight-up tossing out the f-bomb on Old People Radio (Money was by far the most common as far as epithets go, but it was the less offensive "bullshit") The ‘bullshit’ is still right there in the first verse of George Michael’s ‘Fastlove’. Nary an attempt at censorship whenever I’ve heard it on the radio. I always wondered how well Patrice Rushen did out of having the main hook of ‘Forget Me Nots’ (which she also co-wrote and earns residuals on) used in two of the late 90s’ biggest radio hits; one being ‘Fastlove’, the other being the theme from ‘Men in Black’. I have a feeling most millennials (myself included) become very confused, almost consumed with betrayal, when they first encounter ‘Forget Me Nots’. knife_of_justice has a new favorite as of 00:36 on Jun 18, 2020 |

When I was growing up I always cracked up when Cold Chisel's banger "Rising Sun" came on the radio. In my head those idiots never censored the line "I'm getting no oval office, getting no mail". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJMx00OQUNM&t=58s Skip to 1 minute in if it doesn't start there for you. Years later I realised the line is actually "I'm getting no cards, getting no mail". Makes so much more sense, really.

The units "minute" and "second" don't really have anything fundamentally to do with time. Minute basically means "the first subdivision" and the second "the second subdivision". The degrees of arc are divided into arcminutes and arcseconds and the naming is really just to differentiate them from the most common use as measures of time.

Cyberbug is talking about the words themselves not being specific to time, not the measurements having a relation to the universe. Hours and weeks are only used to describe time (or at least I can't think of other uses for them!), minutes and seconds are used to divide a bunch of stuff.
