Personally, I was always told these certain words should never come out of my mouth - which makes it all the more tempting to say them. I know words can be hurtful, but I think if its used to express anger or frustration, why not use it?

If I hit my thumb with a hammer, I am not gonna say "Oh gosh darn that silly hammer." You can bet that I WILL say, "Holy sh*t! F***in hammer!" So much more satisfying and you definetly get my frustration/pain/anger.. but just remember they're just syllables, consonants, and vowels strung together.

If they are being used to demean someone they are bad but any word is bad when used to do this. I personally swear all the time and see nothing wrong with it. A b*tch is a female dog if I find an occasion that someone brings their b*tch over I will call it a b*tch but I would not call a chick a b*tch unless if I meant it in a hurtful way. Same goes for any other "profane" word.

Curse words became bad as modesty reared its head. A lady or gentelman was solely attempting to control their emotionality. Swearing isn't controlled. It's reactionary (& fun).

Even the Japanese & Koreans, very mannerly societies with refined people, have swear - words. We in the West think that we have the market cornered on profanity.

Almost all of our "bad" words are hundreds of years old, maybe more. They are called "vulgar," Latin for "common," words used by ordinary, not sophisticated, folks.

Btw, I say "almost" only because there may be an exception out there of which I am unaware. As far as I know, all of our "bad" words are of German/Saxon origin and were used by commoners, not nobles after the Normans took over the British Isles.
Finally, I know that similar words exist in many languages, I'm guessing all of them.

They have to be words that carry weight and will grab attention, so they are usually something the society holds as very special or sacred. In French it's words associated with God and church.

I'm still mulling over what this could mean for a society with curse words like sh*t, as*hole and motherf***er!
