what makes swearing so bad?

I could never understand this. It's just a word.

Take the word "Fuck" for instance. it's just a word, why is it so bad to say? And better yet, why is it acceptable to say "Freak" "Fudge" "Frick" or any other stupid substitute when it's purpose is to have the same exact meaning??? If you mean the same thing, why is it different than using the correct word?

Same with "Shit" and "Shoot"

My all time favorite was from the movie Madagascar when he said "oh Sugar Honey Iced Tea!" (S.H.I.T.)

Seriously I don't understand how using a word, any word for that matter, is deemed as bad... it's just stupid.

I don't understand it either. When someone substitutes a word for another word... eventually that word will have the same meaning as the previous. If everyone suddenly stopped saying shit and said crap, then crap will become the same "offensiveness" as shit did. Actually that's kinda already happened, my niece got a swat at school for saying crap (they consider it a 'cuss' word). It's fucking ridiculous how you can have just about as much gore and violence on TV but as soon as someone says fuck or another one of the 'big ones' WHAM, instant bleep/censor.

they are curse words

i forget myself but if you keep saying them you keep on cursing the land or something.

if you were raised in a "good", educated family then you just learn some things - how to eat, how to behave, how to talk etc

obviously that doesn't hold much value f.e in the porn biz, but it's still important in the society

why don't people walk nude on the streets in summer? also no rational reply, but it's how it is... there are certain norms and among them is that swearing is bad

Some of the most educated people I know swear. And for some reason, former ministers in nursing homes are the worst offenders when it comes to swearing.

Limp Bizkit - Hot Dog Lyrics

Ladies and gentlement!

Introducing the Chocolate Starfish!

and the Hotdog Flavored Water

Bring it on!

Get the fuck up!

Yeah!

Check, one, two



Listen up, listen up!

Here we go

It's a fucked world

We're a fucked up place

Everybody's judged by their fucked up face

Fucked up dreams

Fucked up life

A fucked up kid

With a fucked up knife

Fucked up moms

And fucked up dads

It's a fucked up a cop

With a fucked up badge

Fucked up job

With fucked up pay

And a fucked up boss

Is a fucked up pain

Fucked up press

And fucked up lies

Well, Lethal's in the back

With the fact of the fires



Hey, it's on

Everybody knows this song

Hey, it's on

Everybody knows this song



Ain't it a shame that you can't say "Fuck"

Fuck's just a word

And it's all fucked up

Like a fucked up punk

With a fucked up mouth

A nine ninch nail

I'll get knocked the fuck out

Fucked up babes

Who fucked up sex

Fake ass titties

On a fucked up chest

We're all fucked up

So whatcha wanna do?

We fucked up me

And fucked up you



You wanna fuck me like an animal

You'd like to burn me on the inside

You like to think that I'm a perfect drug

Just know that nothing you do

Will bring you closer to me



Ain't life a bitch?

A fucked up bitch

A fucked up soul with a fucked up stitch

A fucked up head

Is a fucked up shame

Swinging on my nuts

Is a fucked up game

Jealousy filling up a fucked up mind

It's real fucked up

Like a fucked up crime

If I say "Fuck", two more times

That's fourty six "Fucks" in this fucked up rhyme



It's on

Everybody knows this song

Hey, it's on

Everybody knows this song



You wanna fuck me like an animal

You'd like to burn me on the inside

You like to think that I'm a perfect drug

Just know that nothing you do

Will bring you closer to me



Hooo Haaa Haaaw!

Listen up baby

You.. can't.. bring.. me.. (bring me).. down

I.. don't.. think.. so

I don't want some

You.. better.. check.. your.. (check it).. self

Before.. you.. wreck.. your.. self

This.. my.. star.. fish

My.. choco.. late.. Starfish.. punk

This.. my.. star.. fish

My.. choco.. late.. Starfish.. punk



You wanna fuck me like an animal

You'd like to burn me on the inside

You like to think that I'm a perfect drug

Just know that nothing you do

Will bring you closer to me

Because words like "fuck" are associated with things that arent appropriate. No matter what its called, its never appropriate to talk about hardcore sexual matters in a family setting. Since "fuck" once meant nothing but sex it was never appropriiate to use the word. Thus weve been scolded for generations and it just keeps getting passed down as something bad.

Shit and fuck werent always used as exclaimations. They had very specific definitions.


It has nothing to do with the word itself, but what the word relates to.

Ok, if this is true, then why is Freak fine to say? It's relating to the EXACT same meaning, there is absolutely no difference in what a person means when they say Freak.

I guess my question isnt' really so much why the swear words are bad, but why it's not ok to say them but it is ok so say another word that is the exact same meaning. This leads me to believe that the word is the problem and not the meaning of the word, which is crazy to me.

I have a habit of saying the word cunt, and a chick i know goes completely off her head when she hears it.

Why ???

It's just a word. If i said punt, it sounds just like it, so why not go crazy at that aswell ?

Yeah i think it is just the word nowadays. We're already programmed to not like "fuck". It just gets passed down, along with santa clause and "god"

It's because the general population is unwilling to accept they're part of the general population.

It's all about the soylent green.

Personally, I dig black meat patties. Some dig the white and others dig a mixture.

Turkey's good only if it's cooked right.

Because some people like to appear to be educated... using curse words in every other sentence kind of prevents that, and makes you sound like <INSERT_ETHNICITY> trash.

Old people do.

I think they are only bad when the intent behind them is bad. Nowadays, they are normal vocabulary.

Funny thing...people who find words like "fuck" etc offensives, usually are using words that I find much more offensive...words that are used in hate.
