My God Damn, Mother Fucking, Piece of Shit Point

The English language is comprised of about 30,000 words.....give or take a few ;) Now.... most words are considered important for communication, some are rarely if ever used, and some are considered slang... Then you have inappropriate words, and "swear words." What is a swear word? Who decided that out of all the words in the English language, these ones were THE MOST inappropriate? Also, with that....somewhere along the line we managed to draw a line to some swear words that were worse than others.

FUCK... for instance, and all variations of FUCK, seem to have raised themselves to the top of the list of inappropriate ways to express ones thoughts and opinions. Here is a list, of what I see to be swear words in their list, from most inappropriate, on down the line.

FUCK
SHIT
DAMN
ASS
BITCH
and, if taken in vein.... GOD

These...are the main six. There are also words for genitalia that I am going to go ahead and leave out.... because I can understand how calling someone a "dickhead" might be offensive, because it is actually calling someone a penis, lol. Now, of course there are several variations of the above listed four...asshole....shithead... and so on and so forth. All of the variations are also considered bad words.

Some argue that they have some old deep rooted meaning in the dawns of written word that might inspire an adverse reaction to them. If this is the case, then why are the substitutes for these words acceptable? They mean the exact, same thing, and are even meant to mimic these words in common language, and somehow those are acceptable?

FUCK= FRICK, FUDGE
SHIT= CRAP, SHOOT
DAMN= DARN, DANG
ASS= BUTT (aka BUTT HOLE, BUTTHEAD)
BITCH= BRAT
GOD= GOSH

So.... basically we could take the sentence: "My God Damn, Mother Fucking, Piece of Shit Point," and make it completely socially acceptable to the norm by changing around a few things. Let me demonstrate, using the diagram above.... *clears throat* "My Gosh Darn, Mother Frickin', Piece of Crap Point."

Really? Says the same thing..... different words... same meaning. Why is the above sentence taboo, while the following is completely fine? Food for thought. Annoys the fuckin' shit out of me though... ;)

  2. Yes, I actually left that out on purpose....as it is part of the whole "dick" thing... calling someone a pussy or a cunt has obvious relation.
