Playing off of George Carlin’s seven dirty words you can’t say on TV, Jordan Ayan came up with 100 dirty words that shouldn’t be used in email subject lines.

In addition to anything having to do with sex, viagra and debt consolidation, the list includes innocuous words and phrases like “act now,” “dear friend,” “free offer,” “opportunity,” “teen” and “your family.” And even if someone has actually won something from your organization, don’t use “You’re a winner!” as the subject line.
