RE: Why The Fuck Is Swearing Fucking Bad?
I've always found the concept of "swearing" to be really, well, silly for lack of a better word. Language in itself is both fascinating and confusing. Maybe it's just my young shithead tendencies sticking around, but over the years, words that I've commonly mispronounced, misspelled or completely misused, I've just adopted my own versions of them as part of my vocabulary because why not? All it is is a combination of letters that people just like us decided what they would mean at some point in time.
Same goes for swearing. I've never seen the big deal. Of course, as you talked about, there's abusive and offensive words that probably shouldn't be used. Derogatory terms that have a dark history; that's one thing. But "fuck" or "shit" I mean.. why the humankind not?
Lol. I did a little double take on your last 4 words. Genius!
Even besides the swearing, I'm not so sure someone just put these words together randomly. If you really think about it, how are all the words related in the way they sound also related in the what they are (if that makes sense)? Every syllable seems to be derived from a certain meaning to create the entire word but it lines up for every word - at least in English and in French, which is from German and Latin mostly.
Even words that we use every day are all related to each other in a way that describes something else and a lot of people don't even realize. Money and water seem to be related somehow. Money flows and so does water. Water has a current, and money is a currency. Water is channeled and controls where it flows by banks, and so is money. You go deeper and deeper into debt, and you go a deeper depth. There's no way that wasn't thought out before they started using these words. If you start thinking about it, there are tones of words like this. It's been so thoroughly thought out over the ages and now we don't even realize what we are saying most of the time.
