There are many foul, or bad languages in this world, categorized in what
language you are using (Japanese, Korean, FIlipino, English, etc.)
Take the word "Leche" for example. Many Filipinos actually think that
this is a foul word but it actually translates to "milk", which came
from the Spanish Language.
The word B*ll Sh*t: I'm not so sure if it is true but someone told me that
this/these word/s are actually from a name of a dog breed crossed together or
whatever. It came from crossing a Shitzu (correct spelling?), and Pitt bull
(correct spelling?).
Also, literally speaking, a bull is an animal and shit is like crap, feces or
dung.
SO, how come words such as b*llsh*t, d*amn, f*cku, and others became foul?
What do they mean actually?
hahaha, i know that, too. as u said, that's why crossing the original words may
sound foul. i read in a magazine, we use foul words if we're emotional, bcoz
foul words r like sumthing that arent suitable rite? like some people that enjoy
doing bad things bcoz it's 'bad'.
bcoz the foul words r dirty. we cant use, that's why it's bad. the magazine
says, u can use ur own foul words, like shouting the word 'orange' or 'coffee'
words are used to discribe actions , emotions etc. some foul words are just used
as words that discribe things as pain or happieness. or actions as making love !
Uhm..these are only origins.. (or was I too lazy to read the whole thing)
Anyhow,...I'm looking for they're meaning and the reason why they're considered
as bad.
bad words are only bad because people disapprove. Also people use them
inappropriately can make people think more about their bad usage rather than
their proper usage. Ex. gay = happy. How people came to think it means homo i
don't know. Also Hell is not a bad word although plenty of children get in
trouble for saying this in school. It's a city in Michigan.
Also f*g is a cigarrette but
f***ot is a bundle of sticks.
b**ch is a female dog. (why do so many call women this?)
a** is an animal related to a donkey.
d*mn is pretty much how its used but didn't use to be dirty. but its way to
overused.
So heres my plan.
Everyone just says what they want and don't be a bunch of prudes.
People stop saying bad words to rebel. As a result bad words are no longer
"cool"
Everything resolves itself naturally.
Seriously just because you don't curse on a regular basis, does it mean that if
you stub your toe and let out an F-bomb, your a bad person?

anyways, it's considered foul because it's really rude to tell it to someone.
it's like you're comparing a person to some animal crap or maybe he's worse than
that and he stinks a lot more that those brown stuff. just like the b*t%h word-
if you said that to a girl *especially to flirt ones*, you're like saying she's
like a female dog; letting every male screw her.
m*#%e@f!$ck&r which is like p#t@ng in@ in our language, well,for me it's
rude and very unpleasant because it insults not only the person himself but also
his mom like saying "your mom is so0 stupid so i won't wonder why you're
such a sucker" or maybe sayong that your mom is worse than you
words or words to me, I use them, so what of it, I use them a lot in my
writings, mostly because it expresses oneself, or it makes the moment that more
dominatant, I refuse to use some words because of the effects it could do to my
soul, but for the most part I only cuss when the timing is right, like running
into a wall or something, I forget and use the words, but in a heightened moment
that, to me, is well worth to release some of the pain I currently felt at that
moment
The only reason those words are "bad" are because people made them.
Society decided that those words are somehow worse than others. If calling
someone an ass is so horrible, then why shouldn't calling someone a pig? They're
both rude things to say. It just depends on how the language changes over time
and what society says.
in my opion, they are bad words. They're under the catagory of swears. Their
meanings are bad. And they really arent the greatest to be saying. certain words
like ass(a donkey), hell(a metaphorical place), bastard(illigitament person),
and bitch(female dog) were all used in the sense of their meanings. People today
however have used them in vain, causing these to become swears. HOWEVER... all
of the other words that were made up, are bad. Even 'god' is used in vain
nowadays. This world is filled with filthy language.
I find the idea of "Bad words" preposterous. First of all, a lot of
men and women died for our right to say what we want, and the least people could
do is exercise it. Secondly, people say they want to get rid of "Bad
Words". Well, is calling someone an unpleasant, myopic, despite really any
better than calling them a shithead? Profanity is a matter of superstition. The
idea that there are certain sequences of sounds that, if uttered, will make
everyone upset for reasons they themselves can't quite explain, is a pretty
primitive notion. It is the context in which words are spoken that give them
their power or meaning. And the very words in which we think are bad change over
time. In the 1800's it was offensive to say arm, leg, or any part of the body.
That was deemed to be profane. That's the reason why poultry is called light and
dark meat. It was offensive to say leg or breast. That seems pretty silly by
today's standards doesn't it?
What the first amendment says, or rather the lesson it teaches us, is that we
should tolerate precisely those things that offend us. With liberty comes
excess, if you want to play it safe, you aren't going to have liberty. The safer
you are with guarding those values, those speech codes, the more you invite
tyranny and suppression.
When you really think about this issue, the moral crusaders who want to stop
profanity aren't asking that we control ourselves, that we hold our anger or
change our behavior, treat each other with more respect, they aren't asking you
to be nicer, they only want you to shout something they feel appropriate when
you feel like shouting. They don't care about the meaning, only the word. They
don't advocate peace or tell you not to speak with hate, they want only to
change the word. As if it was the word that makes it obscene.

Not all bad words are really bad... it's just how someone interpret it on another.
Yeah, that's the point!
People misinterpret some words!
But..why is a bad word bad?
I mean..all of those are just expressions, wight?
bcoz the foul words r dirty. we cant use, that's why it's bad. the magazine says, u can use ur own foul words, like shouting the word 'orange' or 'coffee'
yeah you correct about it.Not all bad words are bad.It just how people understanding the words
words are used to discribe actions , emotions etc. some foul words are just used as words that discribe things as pain or happieness. or actions as making love !

So, how come they say it's bad if it describes emotions?

Words only have power when you give it to them.

Yeah I pretty much agree with you guys. It depends on how the person says it, and how others interpret it.
