It feels sooo good to swear when you're mad, doen't it?

Why are they bad words?

nice. the thread has been handed to the etymologists.

what I don't like about the english swear words is that they are all either sexual or named after excrement (all the really bad ones anyway) eg. fuck, wanker, cunt, asshole, pussy, dickhead, shithead etc...

I heard before that the worst swear in the japanese language directly translates to "I don't like you" or "I hate you" (or something like that)

Why do we use the term "curse word"?

Well "f*ck" coz that's what I want to do when I'm feeling very naughty or want to be a bad girl.

"C*nt/P*ssy" coz it's a filthy way my guy can refer to my nice bits.

Bollocks because they're just wrong!

All in all, alot of badness in the best way possible! But not suitable for little ears! IMHO

The ones named after excrement....well they're just nasty!

A couple that I've started saying almost automatically these days without even thinking about it seem to be "c*nting twat" and "bollixing twat". Don't know where the hell those combinations came from but, for some reason, I find myself saying them without even realising it these days!

I often find if something isn't working or whatever a good old fashioned "Ah, ya f**king c*nt, ya!" seems to work pretty well, too!

i often find myself shouting 'genocide' or 'holocaust' when im angry

....really bad words

Yup. Cussing is a must with a stubbed toe.

Forget cursing, I find it better when stubbing a toe to go and put on a shoe onto the victimised foot and give the offending object a good kick.

Pain is a great way of cursing in ways you never thought possible. They just come out of nowhere.

I find that a Peter-Griffin-esque grip of the pained area while inhaling through grimaced teeth works very well for starters. Followed by a ‘Motherfucker!’

I do the Peter Griffin thing too, followed swiftly by a couple of roared-at-earsplitting-decibel-level expletives, or if I'm in too much agony to be bothered putting thoughts into what words to use, merely a hulk-esque "rarrrgh" complete with fistclenching action. Oh, plus a return to said offending object for a taste of it's own medicine (ie kick it with the other, undamaged foot encased in steeltoe-capped boots), which is in turn followed by a concerned examination of the object for damage, plus more expletives if it is indeed damaged.

Helps me vent alright and feel better and thats only a good thing so in my view cursing has its qualities :):D

I do as well curse alot. My potty mouth is pretty bad. I do use f*** S*** A**h**** and so on, but one thing I do not do is use the Lord's name in vain. Those words in my eyes are the worst things you can say. Maybe I'm a bit hypocritical I don't know. When I do accidently say them when I am angry I do apologize to the good Lord! Don't know if it's helping my cause or not, but it makes me feel better!:D
