What defines a curse word?

[Kingofkingz750]

What makes those seven words so special they were marked as curse words?

[xports]

I'm guessing their meaning?

[Kingofkingz750]

Ass = Donkey
Cock = Chicken
Bitch = Female Dog

Only Damn and Fuck don't have other meanings

Faggot = Bundle of sticks.

No no

Ass = Your buttocks
Cock = Your penis
Bitch = A woman who runs their head
Faggot = Slang for a homosexual.

Damn and fuck are worse because they are the only ones that have no other meanings.

Its not the words themself, it's what they mean in their slang form, and the fact that no one calls a donkey and ass unless they are kidding. No one calls a rooster a cock anymore, some people do say bitch but they giggle when they do, and Faggot is as bad as Nig*** to a gay person.

It's never the words its the lack of character that is shows to use slang.

Well in the times of Jesus, "Into a donkey you shall transform!" was effective in turning someone into a donkey, thus a curse. Now we just call people asses, because calling them farm animal names is just silly.

IM going to tell mommy!

[Los-Illuminados]

well here i go with my little story...

you see, fuck is not a word, in fact, its an acronym. F.U.C.K.
this was back in the medieval times when there was an empire and a king and queen. the people of the town had love at that time as well. now you see, having sex back then wasnt as much casual as it is today. so as the townsfolk wanted to fornicate, the had to approch the king for premission to grant them the time to fornicate. so once the king granted them the time to fornicate, they had to go in this room and put a sign up on the door that said "F.U.C.K." which basically meant, "Fornication Under Consent of the King"

ergo, the origination of the word "fuck" ^.^

[Los-Illuminados]

dont even ask, actually.

i read it somewhere. im just gonna vanish away

*vanishes*

That is a myth like the one that Fuck you and flipping the bird comes from pluck you. Ask yourself why a serf who would never be allowed off his lords land without permission woul get an adiunce with the king?

The "pluck yew " one goes that the Brits. used to cut the middle fingers of captured french archers who would
say "Pluck yew" and present their middle fingers to show they could still fire an arrow

[Kingofkingz750]

Wow thanks for the info, now I'll say it in front of my parents and when they hear this story it'll be all guuuud.

A long time ago, it was decided by the Council of Bad Words circa 1456. They decided that these words should be forever forbidden. If someone ever says all of the bad words, legend has it that the Krakken will arise from the depths and reign destruction upon the earth.

any word that makes someone offended is considered a swear word. if you go up to your friend, (who just happens to be gay) and call him a "HOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" then you have just pissed off and/or offended your friend.

Jesus Christ what an obvious answer.

oh yes, if you call someone a "muffinmangler", and it pisses them off, then it's a swearword.
muffinmangler is the swearword of the new generation!!!

today is my birthday. I'm 15 now!!! (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lolz.)

Censorship only gives these words power.
