I dont understand how a one form of word can be bad, yet another word with the same meaning is not. Take 'b*tch' for example (Putting stars in it due to TIF's censors -.- ) it literally means 'female dog'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"]The female of the dog or other canine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lets say you say b*tch to someone else in front of a teacher, or your parents, you could get in trouble. Now if the person called another person a female dog, it would make no trouble. This would be logical for the other "bad words" such as Sh*t and A*s. You're calling them poop, donkey, or butt...yet in those words its not considered bad. Why?

Most people who evade the censor are either young, immature, or don't care about what their peers think of them. Those people represent less than 2% of the average population of a high school, so this isn't a major problem. (Seriously, who uses "poop" as a swear word?)

I thought the reason certain words were considered bad was because of the emotion behind them and the current trend of language.

 

 

 

Did you know that the word awful use to mean full of awe? The word changed over time much like curse words have. More emotion is put into them when being said because it's known that those words have negative feelings linked to them, so they hurt more.

Some words under go pejoration, they just simply catch on as society moves on. They're origin may have been innocent, but it may grow into something "offensive" as time goes on.

If b-tch for example doesn't offend you why use it? The point of swears are to offend, so if you don't think they should offend someone why use it? Or bring it up for that matter. Unless you propose changing (for example) the entire English language and the way people view it. I propose you make a new era called "The Renaissance Part II" and write a lot of good screen plays and have an enormous production and spread your plays all over the world over a few decades. You probably wont see a large result until you are dead in which case it doesn't matter if swears are ridiculous or not.

Its not that it doesn't offend me, but words are censored and turned down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"You're a piece of sh*t."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"You're a piece of crap."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both are 'offencive' and mean the same thing. Yet the second statement doesn't get 'censored'.

Thats what Im saying, why are there even swear words if they mean the same thing?

I guess it's just how you use it, but Ihave to agree that I hate that they're bad words. Calling someone "Dumb" is mean, but it isn't a bad word. :-s

Sh*t is just considered more vulgar. What makes it more vulgar than any other word is beyond me, but whatever. People just like to whine. All they are to me is adjectives, and I use them as such when needed.

Also:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wrds dnt hvae to be splelled rgiht fro yuo to understnad thme.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most people just need the first and last letter of the word to be near its proper place to understand the word if they are fluent in the language.

Because a lot of people use them as bad words, so peopel associated them with bad words. If I use the peace sign as my symbol for my killing spree, and a lot more followers do the same, the peace sign will be seen as a bad thing.

The phrase f*ck you actually came from back then archers would pull back with their middle finger and say *puck you* (or something) and somehow i changed to F*ck you.

Now for a history lesson. The word crap originated from the inventor of the toilet Thomas Crapper

That is just the most fantastically cool name in the world. :thumbsup: "Hey, Mr Crapper, YOU were the one who invented the toilet!" "Why, why yes, I am."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somehow I DOUBT this Crapper ever existed OR invented the toilet but this worde orginated in a manuscripte aboute a Kinge "takinge a crappe".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The word 'crap' is probably a modern invention made by hippies along with other hideous words in the English language like 'groooovey'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who was the REAL person who invented the toilet I ask you, Nadril?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Romans were the first people to use flushing toilets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No I don't mean the inventer was Lucinius Varacio Crappus or anyone but an unnamed inventor whose soul mission was for the benifit of human kind and ultimately, good for all of us around the world, and this inventor's legacy will follow humankind as it takes its tentitive steps to maturity and then around the universe to it's decisive fate at the end of the universe. We must ask the question: the toilet, who a great Roman inventor created out of a stroke of unimaginable brilliance, will he follow us as we tunnel out of the dying universe or die with us, his great invention that benifited humanity throughout billions of years and is now going to go with us, has he seperated from his body and now inhabits the human megamind that was invented a few years ago? Time will tell, my friends, in the meantime, honor your bathroom, for it will one day be remembered as the invention that is so simple yet so great that it will follow us throughout our history.

I thought he invented the portapotty, not the toilet

The phrase f*ck you actually came from back then archers would pull back with their middle finger and say *puck you* (or something) and somehow i changed to F*ck you.

I'll finish for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When longs bows came out they were made out of Yew because it was the strongest and gave the most elastic energy to the shaft. The long bowman use to 'pluck' the 'yew'. When the long bowman would get captured they would cut off their middle finger so that the bowman wouldn't be able to pull back the string. So when the long bowman would go into the battle they would stick out their middle finger to show they had it and say "pluck yew".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty cool huh. Don't think so? Pluck Yew.

Okay, that made my laugh. :lol:

Take gay for example. Once happy no more than 40 years ago, and now it means homosexual? :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now people use it to replace lame. :x

Hehe I know that all too well: "This game is lame" is now "This game is gay."

I think it's gay how people use "gay" to mean lame, etc.

That's why I always correct them, saying 'lame'. If they get mad at me, well, I really could care less.

Many a time there has been when during an English lesson, when someone is reading out a passage of Shakespearian text that the word 'gay' pops up (meaning happy) and is followed by a flurry of girlish giggling. Which is worse when you go to a boy's school.

 

 

 

I never found this funny, and frankly its really old, the kinda thing you would expect an 8-year old to say.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, about the flushing toilet, I believe it was Mr. Crapper who invented it, and he invented it in the early Victorian times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, off topic, but relevent, during/after WW2, the Germans invented a shelf with which you could actually examine your poo, to check for worms. Similar to the idea of curse words with their innocent foundations, the practice of examining your own poo before flushing it was thought to be common practice in those times, but nowadays it is considered disgusting. Are we spotting a pattern here?

The reason things become tabooed is because society decides something is bad then puts a ban on it. There is nothing bad about swear words. When was the last time that you saw someone get killed (literally) by a swear word? Never, thought so. People in the past have given something a bad name, thus causing it be viewed as bad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now realizing this, if society took a look at this kind of thing, and realized no bad can come of swears, then we could decide as a whole that it means nothing. Making it bad only gives it power. Once we make something good, it has no power.
