Curse Words

The other night at Dawn's condo we were talking about the classes she was taking and during the course of the conversation she had said "Why is the word Fuck considered a curse word?" She went on to mention that it was only a word and only became a curse word depending on the connotation you put on it. Who was the one who came up with the word fuck and who said it was a curse word. This word has a multitude of meanings depending on how you use it in a sentence. When I was growing up we were not allowed to utter such words and yet today my children fling it around with abandon as do I on some occasions, especially when I want to get my point across.

You can say fuck you, fuck me, mother fucker, your a fucker, what the fuck, fucking A, fucking rocks and so on. Another word that is very functional would be that good old word shit. Now shit is a small word seemingly harmless but we all know what the meaning is. This word can also be used in many ways such good shit, bad shit, he's full of shit, your shitting me, when the shit hits the fan, bullshit, tastes like shit, looks like shit and so on.

Now Jesus Christ! and Goddamn you, are considered curse words for the very reason you are taking the lords name in vain, but what about hell or goddamn it why are they considered curses or ass, asshole, ass wipe. These words are considered curse words with out rhyme or reason.

When I was in the fourth grade I had just started into a new school and so I was in the process of trying to make new friends. There had been a girl in my class whom during recess had called another girl a Prick. Now seems she had a much older brother and this is where she probably learned it from. I had never heard the word before and so that night I had gone home and called my sister a Prick. Unfortunately my sister went and told my mom and after that well you know what happened . I couldn't sit down for a week.

So why in this day and age are they even considered curse words when every where you go people throw them around with such abandon to add color to the English language? I don't know, all I know is that in my day any body who used such words were considered ill mannered and low life's. Oh well what the hell who gives a shit anyways.
