"Bad Words"

"Bad words." Like fuck? Shit? Ass? Dick? Damn?

For your information, those words are not "bad," nor are they "curses," nor "rude." In actuality, those words came from WHOLESOME origins. For example:

fuck (noun, verb) - "The word has probable cognates in other Germanic languages, such as German ficken (to fuck); Dutch fokken (to breed, to strike, to beget); dialectal Norwegian fukka (to copulate), and dialectal Swedish fokka (to strike, to copulate) and fock (penis). This points to a possible etymology where Common Germanic fuk– comes from an Indo-European root meaning 'to strike', cognate with non-Germanic words such as Latin pugnus 'fist'. By reverse application of Grimm's law, this hypothetical root has the form *pug–. In early Proto-Germanic the word was likely used at first as a slang or euphemistic replacement for an older word for intercourse, and then became the usual word for intercourse." - Fuck (Etymology; Older Etymology, Via Germanic), Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

shit (noun, verb, adjective) - "The word is likely derived from Old English, having the nouns scite (dung, attested only in place names) and scitte (diarrhoea), and the verb scītan (to defecate, attested only in bescītan, to cover with excrement); eventually it morphed into Middle English schītte (excrement), schyt (diarrhoea) and shiten (to defecate), and it is virtually certain that it was used in some form by preliterate Germanic tribes at the time of the Roman Empire. The word may be further traced to Proto-Germanic *skit-, and ultimately to Proto-Indo-European *skheid-. The word has several cognates in modern Germanic languages, such as German Scheiße, Dutch schijt, Swedish skit, Icelandic skítur, Norwegian skitt etc. Ancient Greek had 'skor' (gen. 'skatos' hence 'scato-'), from Proto-Indo-European *sker-, which is likely unrelated." - Shit (Etymology), Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ass (noun, adjective) - FROM THE BIBLE. It means "donkey."

dick (noun, verb, adjective) - slang in the UK for a detective.

Damn (noun, verb, adjective) - BIBLE. AGAIN. "Classical Latin damnum means 'damage, cost, expense; penalty, fine', ultimately from a PIE root *dap-. The verb damnare in Roman law acquired a legal meaning of 'to pronounce judgement upon'.

The word enters Middle English usage from Old French in the early 14th century. The secular meaning survives in English 'to condemn' (in a court of law), or 'damning criticism'. The noun damnation itself is mostly reserved for the religious sense in Modern English, while condemnation remains common in secular usage.

During the 18th century and until about 1930, use of damn as an expletive was considered a severe profanity and was mostly avoided in print. The expression 'not worth a damn' is recorded in 1802. Use of damn as an adjective, short for damned, is recorded in 1775. Damn Yankee (a Southern US term for 'Northerner') dates to 1812." - Damnation (Etymology), Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It's the CONTEXT of which the word is used, NOT the word itself. That's like saying that it's bad to call fire-proof tarps "fire retardant."

Thank you for your time. Having a nice fucking day.
