Swear Words:A Humorous Take on the Reason Behind Why Some Have Lasted.BY: TDH Graham | Category: Entertainment | Submitted: 2011-10-25 03:43:18
If you are hurt, you swear. You're angry, you swear. You're surprised, you swear. Why? Why do we use swear words? First of all, most swear words are considered vulgar because they are actually derived from offensive things. Tell me one major one that isn't. There are ones like "Darn", or "Drat", that are not offensive at all. There are those offensive ones, and then there are ones like "Damn." Sure, it is not as offensive a meaning as others, but go to your sound proof bedroom, lock the door, and start saying swear words. What do you notice? Besides your neighbors yelling at you, I bet you notice that things like darn, drat, and damn don't feel as good. Or maybe you don't. If not, wait until you need the use of one of them, when you are angry, and see if darn re-channels your anger well. It doesn't. But why? Are really offensive swear words (The big ones) satisfactory because of their meaning? Does someone yelling "S---", or "F---" make them happy because they know what the subject that they are yelling about, and it makes them happy to yell it? Or is it because of how the word feels? There is just something about some letters that make some obscenities work. Like S, and F. Notice how those are two of the biggest ones? The reason why they are so big, is because the F and S kick them off well. For one thing, they can be extended as long as the angry person wants to. D for drat, darn, and damn; you can't extend D, unless you go "Duhhhhhhh", which really does not redirect anger well. "Shhhhh", even though it is the "Be quiet noise", still redirects anger from the person, into the word. Same with "Ffffff". That is why the beginning is so good. But it still needs a good ending. The endings for drat and darn are actually more fulfilling than damn. So DRAT AND DARN ARE BETTER SWEAR WORDS THAN DAMN!!!!! Anyone who uses damn is just someone who uses it for effect, or they grew up with it as a major part of their vocabulary, and cannot learn to let it go. It does nothing for them. The T on the end of the S word gives it a finished feeling. It is not the best ending, but it goes well with the somewhat quieter beginning with the "Shhhh", like you are telling someone to be quiet. Which is why S word is good for under the breath, through clenched teeth, long drawn out so that no one will hear. The F word is the best for yelling, as it has the most satisfactory ending possible. The K sound on the end is a solid ending, really taking away anger in one fell swoop. And that is why some swear words are popular, while some aren't. Try it out yourself if you are not convinced, and post comments if you disagree. I started swearing several years ago, and tried to stop. But those two words, the S one and the F one take away anger, making you less likely to do something physically violent. Not that I condone vulgarity, but if it makes you calmer, then go ahead. Just don't let your neighbors hear. Article Source: http://www.writearticles.org/ About Author / Additional Info: Comments on this article: (3 comments so far)
