Swear words

[Shattered]

Why are 'swear' words bad?

You can say 'This piece of shit wont work' or 'This piece of poop wont work' ...
But apparently the first statement would be a lot more negative than the second.
WHICH MAKES NO SENSE!
The words mean the exact same thing. What makes 'shit' worse than 'poop'?
Why isn't poop a 'swear word'?


Is this catagory of 'swear words' the thing that makes them bad?
The catagory makes no sense. Calling a word a 'swear' word makes no sense, unless you are going to label all bad things as a 'swear'. Why are we labeling some words as a swear when their synonymous are not?


The way we all were taught the catagory of swear words is wrong. The way we look at these words are wrong.



Haha lets start a new debate!

*you smell like straight up shit*

*you smell like straight up poop*

*you smell like straight up shit*

*you smell like straight up poop*

which one seems more offensive

Neither? They mean the same thing.. it's not about which "seems" more offensive. People are too fucking sensitive.

Swear words have been built into our diction having derogatory meanings. They are bad simply because everyone is told they are bad and society believes that they are bad.

Vsauce is cool, and gives a pretty good explanation, if you're curious.

swear words are a social construct

Basically 'Shit' ain't even a swear word. When you use words like 'motherfucker, get c*ncer'. That's disrespect, you only mentioned shit and poop while shit isn't a bad word at all actually.
You think wrong, usually it's because it's disrespect towards a player and it's not NICE to say.
