CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #217 (CENSORED)
words that confuse the CBS censor
fecund, penal, taint, titmouse, cockamamie, cockatoo, cocksure, coccyx, ballcock, cockeye, prick, prickly, kumquat, titter, cunning linguist, insertion, gobble, guzzle, swallow, manhole, rimshot, ramrod, come, fallacious, lugubrious, rectify, Uranus, angina, paradiddle, spotted dick, dictum, frock, cunctation, engorge, turgid, stiff, bush, uvula, crapulence, masticate, Dick Butkus, gherkin and, of course, the always bewildering lickety-split.
As you can see, context is everything.

Since the days of Dharma and Greg, creator of that show and Two And A Half Men, Chuck Lorre has put up a split-second "vanity card" with some little thought of his own he wanted to put in. They are often surprisingly light weight, considering he can say whatever he wants, and he's a writer.
Despite being only a split-second, some get censored by CBS anyway, the above was one of them.

Well, admittedly it does not put the censor in a good light. :-)
