Fuck if I know.
Watch your fucking mouth, there’s asshole kids on this shit.
Ah yes. Point well taken SatansMaggotyCumFart.
None of that shit’s a fucking swear though, you bastard!
Jesus, I literally replied this in my head before clicking.
English is my second language, and culturally where I’m from swearing is pretty normal and nobody gives a fuck anyway.
It’s only swearing because at some point someone decided it was bad language, and if you pay close attention, a lot of them go with “taboo” topics like sex and religious items. And then everyone proceeds to substitute them like fuck/fudge, shit/shoot, bitch/bench which IMO, you might as well have said it, everyone knows that what you were thinking.
Language is language and sometimes a good choice of colorful expletives is what drives the meaning. Getting offended by swears is a sign of fragility of the mind.
nobody gives a fuck
OOOOOOOOHHHH!!! You said a bad word!!! I’m telling mom!!!
People honestly get offended by someone having a different opinion these days even. Fragile minds everywhere. Or perhaps more like fragile egos.
From a historical perspective, it’s stranger that swearing isn’t normal for some people; it seems to be a universal feature of human languages throughout history and around the world.
The exact swear / taboo words vary of course, but in general it does seem like just about every culture ever has had and used swear words.
Many “bad words” have roots in other countries or cultures and are a half translation, this is why many words are labeled bad or rude, when they really mean “that’s an immigrant word” or foreigner slang.
I’ve read that swearing is the sign of an honest person.
Studies have shown that swearing makes dealing with pain easier.
Never swearing is as weird as swearing constantly. They’re words, they have meaning and context.
A number of women I know would rather use any word besides “moist”, it’s quite funny.
I have random stupid hangups and for who knows why profanity is one of them. I’m fine with it. I barely notice when others use it. But I just can’t. It doesn’t sound right in my context or in my voice.
Of course I hate my own voice with a fiery passion, but that’s another hangup.
What about “sopping”?
Fun fact! Swearing actually reduces pain perception, thus increasing pain tolerance. There are scientific benefits to swearing.
That’s fuckin awesome!
Do we know why?
No fuckin clue.
Well shit, I was hoping for an answer.
Shit my ass up sideway, no titting idea…
Yes.
You give the word power and meaning by viewing it certain way. To me cuss words have no power they are meaningless. equivalent to a simple filler word. Others around you might give power to cussing, but then why is it your fucking problem that they choose to be simps for a word?
It’s even weirder when people self-censor memes , posts, and whatnot. Like F*CK. You’re allowed to swear on the internet, people!
It seems to me this became a thing when social media algorithms started downranking content with profanity in it. It’s weird when people do it elsewhere.
People just repost form other places without a second thought.
i’ve seen possibly one of more egregious example of this like three days ago. gopro video of a trench warfare, cameraman (ukrainian) shoots two intruders (russian) one of which has no face attached by the end of video with bits of it dripping to the ground. audio track is bleeped out and subtitles are **** out too for some reason
or anything involving youtube, or gods have mercy if that nipple hating son of a bitch zuckerberg notices something. then you can say goodbye to your account
As I understand it, shit, piss, and fuck were common words in Old English. When the French-speaking Normans invaded the Anglo-Saxons, they made the people and their language lower class, crude and dirty. Defecate, urinate, and fornicate were substituted as the proper way to speak. This was a way to continue oppressing a conquered and occupied group of people. These views have persisted for hundreds of years and been adopted by various groups over time. Something to consider when you find yourself viewing the words others use as crude.
Based on this history, you might also see why saying “pardon my French” is ironic as fuck.
Most large towns had a street where prostitutes gathered, often called Grope Cunt Lane
Swearing is actually normal for all people. Any word can be classified as a “swear” or “bad” word. That’s how language works. There is nothing wrong with using a word that is deemed a cuss word. The actual “bad” part is always the context the word is used in. If you smacked your foot into a chair accidentally and you called the chair a Bastard, you used the expletive correctly. But if you walked into work one morning and walked by your boss and said to him, “Good morning you Bastard.”, that’s going to get you in trouble. The context matters.
You can make any word a cuss word in the context you use it. You can ask a person if they like Bananas, “Are you a banana eater?”. Or you can accuse a person, “What kind of a sick banana eater are you? What is wrong with you?”, ‘banana eater’ is now a bad phrase/thing.
Context in language always matters, regardless of the taboo of a word/phrase.
Words only have power over you if you let them. Language is to be used, enjoyed and laughed at.
Part of it must be upbringing. I couldn’t bring myself to even say the words hate and stupid because they were treated as just as bad as fuck, but since I’ve moved out and live with a woman who casually swears, it’s rubbed off on me.
As others have mentioned, for me I sometimes use it as just filler (part of natural language). Alternatively, I can use it to add emphasis or to exaggerate.
Where is swearing not normal? I don’t live in a preschool. It’s the 90’s. We have internet and everything now. I can say the “fuck” word.
Seriously, this question is exactly backwards. Everything should be normal to say unless there’s a specific reason NOT to say it. So OP, what is your specific reason for thinking people SHOULDN’T say swear words?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it’s not the 90’s anymore, it’s 2024.
Sorry, I was in a coma. I hope nothing bad happened after the 90’s. I’d hate to wake up in 2024 and learn basically everything is kind of shittier except portable music players and street food.
Because we grew up poor.
Laws that turn swearing into legal liability are a form of class warfare.
