My old English teacher at Penketh High once spent a class teaching us the origins of various swear words. It was one of the more enjoyable lessons that year!
e.g: 'Bloody Hell' derives from the Elizabethan phrase 'By our dear lady in hell'

| Quote Wires71="Wires71"Is it though? The word has no intrinsic insult value, it's what the listener applies to it.
If you heard a swear word in a different language that you did not understand, you would not know. The word remains the same it's all about the intepretation and how the listener wants to react.
In reminds me a little of a Buddhist approach which would be to take this swearing situation as a learning opportunity and instead of "reacting" to it (taking offence) take it as a chance to learn about why this is hurtful to you and if it even actually is hurtful or if perhaps you are carrying around some heavy preconceptions about things that could be shed and hopefully lead to a more fulfilling and happier life.

Another thought provoking idea, along the same lines, is expressed in The Story of the Angry Young Man and The Buddha
[iIt is said that one day the Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him, saying all kind of rude words.
The Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man, “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”
The young man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”
The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”[/i

Mr Hughes! I remember this. He said that if you said "by our lady in hell" really fast it became "bloody hell". I always assumed he made this up to see if anyone would believe it, coz it doesn't really does it? That and I've never heard it repeated anywhere since, until now. |

The whole Fletcher St end would chuckle childishly, especially because the old announcer would say it as sincerely as possible. |

Hahaha, yes Mr Hughes. He was probably a bit tipsy.. Although not on Mr Durkin's level! |

I was going to google "butt weld" and "Swaged nipple fittings"...thankfully my parental settings prevented it. Wouldn't want to have to explain those search terms to a disbelieving policeman. |

The important thing is, whether it's Flange Fit, Butt Weld or Swaged Nipple - it all remains stainless. |

| Quote Captain Hook="Captain Hook"Very interesting point of view Wires71 but within a language words have to have a meaning (or meanings) otherwise we would not be able to communicate. “Swear” words are the same. The fact that they usually relate to genitalia, and the more offensive words are based on female genitalia is intriguing. So the meaning of the word isn’t “owned” by the listener.
Why a word is given a specific meaning has always puzzled me. For example if you didn’t know any different “chlamydia “ I’ve always thought is a pleasant word (much like fuchsia) but the fact that it is the biggest killer of koalas ruins it for me.
The Buddhist approach to anger, however, is laudable. I will try to embrace it when reading this forum.'"
Yes it must have meaning but doesn't intrinsically carry an insult. This has to be applied (and accepted) by the recipient. Just the auditory act cannot cause offence.
Most of the objection I can see on here is driven by the fear instinct. "If my Johnny hears those words he will be damaged by them/start using them and then other people will do X, Y, Z or he will suffer X, Y, Z"
Acceptance and preparation is the key. "Johnny you are going to hear some words that some people don't like. They are called swear words and are used by people with limited vocabulary or to express emotion. You may have heard them before and you definitely will hear them again in the future. Some people are offended by them so I find it's best not to use them". |
