wut is the whole point of cuss words?

Well, the word used to be good and people didn't want to say a bad word, so they used a good word. That "good word" morphed into a cuss word. H*** is mentioned in the Bible, A** is another word for donkey, and so on and so forth.

Profanity origniated out of religious obserance of words that were either considered blasphemy or abusive to either God or his followers. Most words are considered profane because of their abusive, or offensive nature.  Talking about hell, or damnation was considered abusive because it brought to light unplesant aspects of the afterlife.   This also applies to blasphemy or taking the Lord's name in vain, it is considered offensive by religous followers because it is a direct insulting use of their creator's name. Also sexual terms and phrases are often considered vular or taken out of context to produce an offense. Ah, who cares...here goes...I'll try to be polite...\nIt is usually their connotation that makes them profane:  \n"Taking a sh*t" is considered a vular expression because of it's content.  \n"Fu*k you" is also considered vulgar because the word "F*ck" implies sex because of it's origins and it's a no no to talk about sex in our Puritian society...Let alone use sex as an offensive remark.\nA$$hole is considered a rude word because, honestly who wants to be associated with being an anus?\nC*nt is a very taboo word because of it's vulgar reference to female genitalia, and feminist movement sees vulgar references as a means to demean and demoralize. Which is probably a very accurate ideal.\nD*ckhead also is a demeaning word.\nWell okay that's all I can think of..well actually I can think of a lot more, but I'll probably already be reported for this anyways...\nHave A Nice Day...

It is not a very good word, and there is no direct translation. It is something like f**k or s**t, and usually used when you drop something or do something wrong.

ALL of the offensive words have a specific meaning.  Evidently, these type words were developed down through the centuries and have been accepted as offensive to the majority of people.  Most all offensive names do have a better word to use.\n\nPops

Some people just feel the need to be vulgar without any real reason for it.  I have found that there isn't really a lot of religious tolerance demonstrated on this forum.  I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, but I also try to respect the views and beliefs of the other religions of this forum.  Someone else on this site asked once, "why can't we just agree to disagree?"  The foul language isn't necessary.

What would be the point? I think that it is cool that african americans took the powerof hate out of the word. Now instead of it being a form of hate it basically is the equivallent of "dude" "bro" "boy" "man" that is the best part of the word niggah

ah forget em... who cares what some twat behind a computer says if they're saying nasty things...\n\nI ignore the dipshits, and enjoy hearing from intelligent people or funny answers!\n\nKudos to you!

Might wanna try growing up. Show me anywhere in the bible where it says that SH*T is a bad word. It says don't curse. To damn something is to curse it. People think that some guy invents a word and because it is vulger TO THEIR STANDARDS that it must be a sin. \n\nDude, if you think that F**K and SH*T and CO*K and PU$$Y are sins, go to college and getr educated and if you've already been to college try going to one that isn't walking hand in hand with the lord.

Words are not offensive...the thoughts and intentions of the one USING them is the offensive thing. Words are ways to communicate and are innocent in and of themselves.

I think that continuous usage or even any vulgar usage of curse words shows a lack of intelligence. If someone is upset shouldnt they be able to explain it using non profane words? Anytime I hear anyone, man or woman, using foul language not only does that person appear much less attractive, but it offends me. I have small children as well. They dont need to hear it, frankly no one needs to hear it. The way in which someone speaks reveals not only their competence of the language they are using but their intelligence alltogether.\n\nI completely agree with you.

It's slang from the UK & Ireland, a made up phrase to avoid cursing when surprised or annoyed.\n\nIt's also a slang term for a sexual position.

profanity is really in the eye of the beholder. Like, I say the word "crap" and I think it's okay, but my sister rags on me for it. And I say "Oh my God" but other people think it's disrespectful.\nBut there are other words I find offensive. I never say "BS" because that's too close to the real word. And I don't say "PO'd" for the same reason.\nI think it's a personal conviction each person has to pray about.

i wouldnt consider it profanity, but slang,,,, and i guess it depends the context they are using it in would define it as really bad  slang or not,, "oh crap i hit my toe", is different then   "i have to take a crap", it does stand for shit,,, like heck stands for hell,,,,,i would discourage my child from using it,\n\nps: i think right here is a example that people dont take it too seriously, crap and hell didnt get censored, but the 4 letter word starting with a s that crap stands for , did , lol

Never stop slapping those people. I have a degree in English and I don't care if it's acceptable. It makes you sound like you have a speech impediment.

Because it's the worse type of insult to use against a woman if you're mad at them. And also when you're mad you're not really thinking. You're just acting on rage. Never a good thing.....
