    "There are no bad words, only bad times to use them."
    -My Dad on the subject of profanity
    Swearing is an absolutely fascinating subject to me, especially as a writer. There's so much you can express with a single "Fuck!" that no amount of purple prose can ever come close to capturing.

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  6 месяцев назад +6

      I agree! We do all these things to get around “bad words”, but it undermines the whole point of them which is that they aren’t recognised as “language” to our brains. They’re expressions that are deeply embedded in our emotion and memory centres. That’s why they’re so powerful.

    Your comments on how overuse can diminish the power of certain taboo words rang true, and reminded me of something I'd written in my journal long, long ago (1994) about an ill-fated hike on which I'd been bitten by a dog, which the owner had regarded as an inconvenience for which she couldn't be bothered. As usual, I played the "what I should have said" game in my head on my back to the trailhead...
    "... The blood was running down my arm by now, but I was becoming increasingly furious, which no doubt helped me double-time it back to the car. I spent the journey telling her off eloquently and frequently, each time perfecting the timing and delivery, careful to use the word "fuck" once, and only once, and careful to place it where it would have maximum effect, the way Buddy Rich would lay off the cymbals until the climax of one of his volcanic solos. I don't remember much else about the return trip other than concern for the hour, and whether or not I'd be able to make it to the clinic before they closed..."
    Enjoyed the video immensely, esp. part 1.

      Some research I came across while I was making this video talked about how the power of swear words is somewhat imprinted in our brains (emotion and memory centres) when we’re children. It’s the reactions of the adults around us that hear us use a “bad word” for the first time, often innocently, that gives those words meaning. Sometimes adults react harshly, angrily etc when children swear and this unfortunately makes those words more powerful. And we don’t forget that, even as adults.

    I think a big reason for this is that my mom didn’t swear around me and discouraged me from using those words, so I just didn’t use them around her.

    I dont swear in public nor anywlhere where my voice may carry and be heard by people.
    I swear daily here _at home at my Tablet_ when it fails to work correctly.
    I _might_ swear if telling a joke which includes swearing, but rarely. I _have_ sworn in comments where I've found the words used applicable to rhe "conversation" ...but not as often as some might assume.
    I don't care for censorship of words, phrases, or 'presumed' swearing.
    I don't like nor use these words:
    "Profanity"
    "Obscenity"
    "Cussing" ...
    I prefer this word:
    Swearing...
    I would rather that society as a whole, but also individually, could, would curtail their propensity for violence.
    A person against another person, or a person against an animal, or those to whom the despicable acts of setting one (any) animal _against another animal_ is also abhorrent to me.
    Actions _do_ "speak louder than words" and gestures.
    If we are to continue to view ourselves as considerate humans, we must act considerately.
    The sound of letters being put together to create, or to continue the previous creation of words deemed by those who feel "they have a right and a moral duty" to tell us how to speak, what to say or do, should, in my considered opinion, concentrate their serious efforts upon the last of those.
    To do.
    There are of course laws which restrict and / or suggest what not to do, and some are heavily enforced, but still Man's inhumanity to Man (& I am _not_ being sexist by using those terms) continues. Still we have wars, conflicts, disagreements, injuries forced upon some by others, and too many unnecessary deaths ensue from the inhumanity.
    I've said my bit.
    Swearing per se is inoffensive compared to the greater damage caused by horrendous actions from one another, upon another - if that makes sense...

    I didn't look into it. It was a long time ago and I didn't really believe her, but I think the claim is an interesting view into opinions on swearing and different perceptions on such words and the people that use them.

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  5 месяцев назад

      Hmm okay… here’s a very quick search.
      Some people on reddit say that historically Latvians didn’t curse ‘aggressively’ and preferred more passive aggressive language to express frustration. Which when translated to English may not appear as ‘swearing’ per se.
      And in modern times people prefer to use swear words borrowed from Russian and English.
      Ancient Lithuanian apparently didn’t have swear words and they’ve borrowed all their swears from other influential languages. So maybe your friend was Lithuanian?
      Estonia has heaps.

I never knew anyone who thought those were bad words except one senior couple I met at my great grandparents nursing home. Which confused me more because my grandmother grew up with them and never considered those swears.

    I'm in the U.S., and "C. U. Next Tuesday" is probably my favorite of all these words. I cvn't care if someone is offended by it, especially when not directed *at* someone in a derogatory way. In almost all cases, if you're offended by a word, it's probably your fault. The "n-word" is about the only exception. I would never use it in *any* context.

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah I agree slurs are another matter but I also see the problem with giving them too much power.
      Definitely context is important when it comes to swearing around/at other people.

    I don't worry about offending people with my words. If someone finds something I say offensive, that's their problem, not mine. Speaking of linguistic reclamation, the word "yankee" was originally hurled at American soldiers by British soldiers during the American Revolution and meant as an insult. We decided to wear it with pride.

    Where did you get the idea that Esperanto was “designed to be free from swearing”? That’s both untrue and would make no sense.

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  6 месяцев назад

      I’m not an expert but I have read several sources that suggest that L. L. Zamenhof and other pioneers of Esperanto did not prioritise profanity, obscenities, or terms for sex acts or bodily functions in the original creation of the language, but Esperantists who came later created their own terms inspired by other languages. So I stand by what I said but if you can point me in the direction of your sources I’m more than open to looking into it further.

    I'm from germany where it is not really a thing to censor swearing, parents and kids would say anything really. it was a bit of a culture shock coming into international media, usa centric movies etc, where there was suddenly such a big effort to bleep, swap out words (like shit to crap) or just not say anything "dirty" or even just god and other religious words?
    I really had to learn that the culture is different! and especially that curse words are reserved for adults mostly.
    and to this day I struggle to understand the point of bleeping, or starring out some letters... you still know what word is meant, right? my brain just fills in f*** for example, whether it is censored or not makes no effective difference to me other than the bleep sound often being painful or annoying..... but still people don't choose to mute or cut out the whole word. that would be more logical to me
    it's so weird to me. idk.

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  5 месяцев назад

      I agree. I also wonder if the “bleep” sound does the same thing for our brains anyway. Like hearing it signals to us that we’re hearing a swear word. So what does it accomplish in the end?
      Also thanks for the cultural info. Very interesting. I think America is more concerned about swearing than any other country.

  • @Joshualacruz

    Great monologue.
    I believe you shouldn't use these words as they are rude, and you should try not to be rude.
    But. Censoring or forbidding them is silly and backwards. For all the reasons you and George Carlin spoke about.
    The main reason for me, is the power it gives them. So much power.
    Also bleeping is just so annoying.
    Also, in the right setting, swearing and cursing is great.

    I never thought about swearing as artistic expression but I think that is perfect. Art for the most part is an expression of many things including emotion, so I feel that it serves a very important role in emotional expression for us. Not enough time to type a more thought out response but I loved the video, well researched and presented.

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  6 месяцев назад

      Good point! I think the argument for movies, tv, literature, basically different forms of artistic expression, is that swearing has a place. If we’re artistically commenting on reality then swearing is a part of the real world; how humans communicate, show emotion as you say - and therefore it should be allowed. Same could be said for education. Swearing has purpose beyond offending people. Thanks for your comment, I’m glad you enjoyed my video. :)

    What is the origin of the word 'Grawlix'? Is it named for someone? Is it just made up by someone? Is the origin known?

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  6 месяцев назад

      Just a quick search online: Merriam Webster says the late cartoonist Mort Walker coined the term at some point in the last century.
      “Walker coined a number of terms for the tropes of comic drawing, and he collected them in a book, The Lexicon of Comicana, published in 1980…There’s nothing to indicate where Walker came up with grawlix, but it is notable that the word resembles growl, which suggests the kind of muttering sound one makes when angry.”

    Coinpurse is a weird relative to money bag still used in some places. It'd be neat to explore cultures that are radically different with respect to profanity. Why do Germans allow breasts but forbid blood?? Relative to swearing, where does the lack of "appropriate" honorifics fall?

    • @dailymindtrap
      @dailymindtrap  6 месяцев назад

      Yeah I agree that would be interesting to explore. From what I can see, cultural and religious values have played a big role in how profanity has evolved in different countries.
      Like many European countries, which suffered through deadly plagues, using diseases as curses and insults. Or places like Quebec that never really went through the stage of visceral profanity because religious values dominated.
      This video was obviously English-centric but I’d love to know more about other languages too…

      Technically a slur is just a disparaging or insulting remark. But I guess we mostly talk about slurs made about minority groups (race, gender, etc) these days.
      The term “bigot” is an interesting one I don’t think I mentioned in this video.
      From the 1590s, likely a French derogatory term meaning “sanctimonious person, religious hypocrite”.
      It hasn’t been in popular use since the 1800s but it’s having a revival now with an evolved meaning that isn’t necessarily tied to religion. “One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to his or her own ideas and groups.”
      Interesting!
