[Ads-l] obscene slang on TV

[Bill Mullins]

I just watched the pilot episode of Police Woman on youtube (actually an episode of Police Story).  In it, Angie Dickenson's first undercover assignment is as a hooker, and before she goes in, Charles Dierkop asks her if she knows what a "pearl necklace" is.  I'm surprised that got by the censors in 1974.
