Corpus of LDS General Conference Talks

[Coach McGuirk]

African-American has only been said twice in GC. Once in the 90's and once in the 2000s, both by TSM, both about a Sister.

Negro has been said 63 times. It hasn't been said since the 70s. The 60s tie the 1910s with 9 mentions. The 50s saw 0 use of the word.

Black/blacks would take too much work to separate racial from non-racial use.

The N-word was used a few times in the 1900's and I also typed in Colored, but that was all over the place, but found a really bad quote.

[Pheidippides]

Check out "polygamy". Only 12 reference since 1930. Compare to late 1800s.

What a cool tool. Fascinating.

I noticed that too. But see celestial marriage.

[RC Vikings]

Golf peaked in the 90's with 12 times. It's only been mentioned three times since. I blame Eyring since when he was here at Ricks I would see him playing tennis but I never saw him on the golf course.

Although Mike Weir went to BYU, the brethern didn't realize he wasn't mormon until 2000.

Whereas Bicycle has been mentioned at an increasingly frequent rate, peaking at 21 times in the 2000s.

[KillerDog]

Not so odd. Those were the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the Mormon crossing. Huge celebrations and remembrances involved in those years.

That makes sense.

[DapperDan]

Priesthood has been said 24,560 times. The 1930s saw the least number of mentions with only 785. The 2000s are king with 2512 mentions. The 1880s saw the first big uptick with 1773 mentions. Up from 1229 in the 1870s and back down to 1176 in the 1890s. The 1880s held the record (and it wasn't even close) until the 1950s.

Didn't even occur to me to search for those terms.

[byu71]

Maybe I am doing this wrong. I put in honor code and got no mention.

The N-word, really? I'd look it up but I've run out of my 10 searches before having to register.

[RC Vikings]

Boobs was used once in the 90's. Goat must have been a youth speaker that day.

[Art Vandelay]

Oral sex has never been mentioned. Must mean it is moral.

[snowcat]

For Rosebud:

Heavenly Mother - 5 times.

[Sleeping in EQ]

Beginning in the 1970s, the word "appropriate" shoots through the roof.
