I always woundered why some words are bad to say?

Like people say they sound dirty, but the word mud is dirty, and thats not a swear word!

I was woundering why some certian words are considered bad?

I mean who the hell said some words were bad to say?

God, Jesus, Moses, The Queen?

[teamandre]

no its all the wird people that dont like swearing but yet they swear them selfs but theres nothing wrong with it

[Niamh.]

It was Moses I think.

[Kerry]

No idea. It's a strange one. Plus why are some considered worse than others?

[teamandre]

there all the same really just with differnt meanings to te word if ya get what i mean

It goes back to a more conservative age. Talking openly about sex like we do nowdays even half a century ago was a little odd. Nevermind using word derived from sexual acts.

I reckon as the generations go along, swear words are getting less and less serious due to sheer overexposure. They are now just thrown around to describe anything, no matter how trivial, and are rightly becoming a bit pantomine. Tis' fun.

I hate the assumpion that people swear because they want to look hard or they lack the vocab to express themselves without swearing.

Then of course you have words that are offensive because of historical reasons [the N word, say].




But of course, that's just my fucking opinion.

They were invented and considered bad so that when we used them, one knows we're serious. They're good for emphasis.

[eye sea]

I rarely swear. But when I do I'll say afterwards, "It's enough to make a vicar swear..."

when you grow up you will cease with the profanity

[Ramsay]

[Niamh.]

Maybe because one of the commandments was thou shalt not take the Lords name in vain, so if you did you were swearing?

SOME people may swear to look cool but not everyone does. & 18 is an adult <_<

[Beso]

In scotland, the word see you en tea, is used as a term of endearment.

so if you are not swearing for effect what is the reason for adding words into a sentence that are unrelated and superfluous?

18 is not an adult, it may be if you tiresomely want to be legalistic but until you have children and own a house i would suggest you have a bit to go.

(it would make a good thread)
