 Why are some words bad to say? It essentially boils down to people trying to control other people even going to far as to try and abridge your speech to prevent you from saying certain words for no other reason than; they get uncomfortable when you say them.

Although I don’t get offended by what people say, I can make more sense out of a person getting offended by someone telling them, “you’re a dumb, poo poo head.” than I can understand a person getting upset from hearing someone say, “Shit! I fell on my ass and it fucking hurts.” Because the former is a verbal attack on another person while the latter is just someone getting hurt by falling down on his/her butt.

First, the hypocrisy: Its bad to say shit (which means feces), but OK to say poop, crap, poo… etc. (which mean feces), its bad to say ass (which means donkey or butt), but OK to say donkey or butt (which mean ass). Its OK to say “female dog” but its bad to “bitch.” So if its the meaning of the words, then it just doesn’t make sense. Maybe its the sound of the word that’s offensive and not the meaning. Well then in that case these words would also be considered vulgar: pass, compass, Wallace… etc. So if its not the meaning of the word or the sound of the word that makes it offensive, then what makes a word vulgar?

Second, the misinterpretation: Where in the bible does it say that its bad to say a few specific words that exist in modern English (and in no way existed in the time the Bible was written)?

Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Right, so there is that. But have you actually read it? How does the word “vain” translate in any way into don’t say something? Seriously? This is the standard Christian method of warping things including the English language into what they want instead of just using what is already there. This “commandment” means more that, “you shouldn’t think your awesome because you believe in God” than it means; don’t say, “God damn it.” Then there are those verses about cursing… well these pretty much mean actually cursing like, “I curse you to have herpes!” This is another example of Christians twisting meanings of words to make the bible match what they want instead of what it actually says. That is why they started calling some words “curse words.”

Third, the dickholes: Well, back in the dark ages and before that, Britain had been conquered by more men than Paris Hilton. When each man crowned himself king, he declared that his home tongue is the coolest language and the peoples common language as crass or vulgar. So pretty much anything Germanic was crass while French and Latin were polite. “How dare you say ‘”beef”‘ in the presence of the king, you should never use such fowl language… say ‘”bovine”‘ instead.” So the cultural reason is to be a dick to other people and to try and act superior. From then till now, people have been offended by certain words for no logical reason and cast their disturbing judgments on those that think that any one that gets offended by a word is mentally retarded.

Conclusion: It all just boils down to: some words are vulgar because some people get offended. Some people get offended because they are vulgar words. Of course there is no reason why the words are offensive… they just are.
