Whether by their nature, use, or just by their sound, this is a compiled list of words and phrases that sound "dirty". It's a list that's been compiled for several years and is finally being made available online. Some phrases and words are just obvious, others subtle in their dirty ways.

One rule is that the words cannot have "real" dirty words in them. Some might say it's a cockamamie rule but the judges decided it was better to keep cockamamie words out, like the word cockamamie.
