deathdrow Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 If it's a word that offends a lot of people, or people are afraid of hearing/saying, then it's a swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDawn Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I can't define a swear myself, I just assume people say it's a bad word to use because they enjoy pissing everyone off.

l0rd Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The internet is your friend guys: :mrgreen: "profane" and "profanity" has therefore come to describe a word, expression, gesture, or other social behavior which is socially constructed or interpreted as insulting, rude and vulgar or desecrating or showing disrespect. Saying that, all words affiliated with "profane" behavior aren't going to be considered cuss words. A word must ferment in a society and evolve through time until it is widely known and dispensed colloquially. This reminds me of memes :twss:.

It was a ligament statement. The word profanity comes from profane, which means basically not of the church, leading to the deduction that it has something to do with the church. So don't give me that [cabbage] about being an [wagon] when you don't bother looking into the subject. Thanks.

Just because he brought up religion doesn't mean he was bashing it. If you think about it actually, the USA bases its principles on the Bible and Christianity (though I don't agree with it).

Thread hijack: (...looks at 2nd page...) SUCCESSFUL How ironic. You yourself fall into this generic-user trend: being "that user" making an off-topic and provoking rant for one of a few dozen possible reasons. But what am I doing right now? Is history not repeating itself for the billionth time on these forums, and my efforts to disprove your logic just as futile as your opinion about this hackneyed attack on religion? You obviously like these forums, but don't look down on an opinion just because of its overabundance, because you'll find a lot of it everywhere if you have that mentality. Let people have their opinions and attempt to rationalize their viewpoints, this way you are looking at the substance. Everyone and everything is generic in its own special way. :D [iNSERT "I R EATIN TEH SHIX ATM" BILL COSBY SIGNATURE GIF HERE, LOL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazarabbit Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I think it's anyword that is used in a derogatroy meaning. Then again if we also used that theory many other words could possible become swears.
