Swearing is and always has been regarded as
undereducated, obscene, rude and profane in society.
It has been censored and forbidden and the
institutions of power continue to ban it from society
and all media. Yet despite our mumīs best efforts,
cussing is mainstream. Itīs even more than that,
itīs an integrated part of our culture. We have used
profane language since the beginning of time.
So is swearing an instinct then? Where did it
actually come from and when did it become such
a bad thing? Whatīs the fucking history of swearing?
Could we use the power of these words
and phrases wisely as a tool in our daily life and
appreciate the fact that we have them and their
emotional effect on us? Having spent some time on
researching these questions, this book is a treasure
trove of interesting information on this beautifully
offensive topic.
