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? |

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

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.

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

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

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