CNN Money talks about the seven dirty words: “Since the 10 A.M. argument was being televised live by the cable station C-SPAN, the judges soon began wondering about the decency of airing a legal argument on indecency.

I just finished reading a book published last year about the “Howl” trial in San Francisco in 1957. The prosecutor’s use and discussion of the naughty bits were similarly hilarious.
