Swear words (the history behind them)

 

     We all swear. But some of us like to know....how they were started and how they became what they are today. Swear words.

   On Netflix, there is a show called "The history of swear words"

  He explains to us how these words were well...started. How it became what it was before to something dirty and vulger. Here are a few. (WORD OF ADVICE, THERE WILL BE SOME CURSING)

  The king of all swears. The mother of dirty words. If you use the middle finger high up in the air, you've used this word. I won't say it, but we all know it. How did this word, this mother of all swear words start?

   It was shortened version back in the day that meant Fornication Under the Consent of the King. Yep that's the word. It was shortened years later, but how did it become what it is now? Well, it did originate for a sexual reference. Only with the king's consent. 

  Sometimes it can be a name that's short for Richard. But other times....well, you know what a man has...right? Dick means that. How did Dick Head become a swear? It was described to be known as someone that was considered unfair or even or unjust. Other times, it's just a joke. But I feel sorry for anyone name Richard that shortened his name to Dick. 

    We all do it. It's another way to say poop. But, why is it a swear and how did it become one? Well, it was used back in the Scandinavia in the olden countries. They used it to described Cattle defalcation. Even some streets and towns around Scandinavia had the word shit in it

    I guess after it was  classified as a swear, they changed the names of the town. But everyone of us does it every day. How and why it became a swear, well....shit god only knows.

  Bastard: well, some people are considered one. The origin of this swear started as some that was used as a noun to describe someone that would give you an unpleasant experience. It was also considered a law of England and Wails that described a child that was born to an unmarried mother. 

    That term would be considered a Bastard Child. Bastard is considered a swear for anyone who acts likes an idiot on purpose as well. To me, they're bastards. Some people have written a book on how to be a complete bastard.

     It was a term used to describe a female dog. They would be known as a bitch. But why is it now considered a swear, and when did that start?

    Well, it started around the fifteenth  century as a vulgar term. It was considered a sexual behavior at the time. But why now from dog to woman? Back in those days it was referred as sexual behavior. Around the 1920s it was used again in a vulgar term against a woman. No woman likes to be called a bitch.

,  

     Some people can be a dumbass or an asshole. Where did these terms originate which involves our butts?

    Asshole- That term was a meaning of "backside" or "buttocks" How it became what it is today, it appears to have always been used back in the day which meant our butt. But, how it became vulgar, meaning incomplete or unpleasant. It would also be considered a greater moral, social or importance to a male

    Dumbass- If you ever watch "That 70's show", the father of that show would call his son (played by Topher Grace) a dumbass in almost every episode. But, how did this swear get started? It just means being an idiot. Another term for a fool. Even if donkeys are considered Jackasses, they would sometimes use a picture of one to symbolize how stupid the person is.

 

     Short for Damnation, Damn has become known for what it is today. As the phrase, "you're damned if you do and your damned if you don't." meaning that you might end up in holy damnation, or be saved by the lord. I don't know. 

   Some people don't want to use the lord's name in vain, but when they say "goddamn", they do. It could also be considered a punishment or fate when they are "condemned to hell" It could also be used for annoyance or angry about something going wrong. 

    So, why do we swear, because it feels good to let something out when we're angry? Will it make us feel better? Some people think swearing is bad, while others feel it's the need to get out any stress. Some others think swearing is a sign of intelligence. I'm not sure on that one. I swear a lot. Sometimes, I swear to myself. It makes me feel somewhat better, but for now, try to keep your swearing to a minimum, or you might get in trouble. Damn.
