Why the Fuck do we have "Bad words"

[Firetornado]

Im just fucking wondering, why our society collectively decided to ban some goddamn motherfucking words?

Like they are just fucking words you fucks.

Ive never questioned this until now, but I was just in the shower and thought, why do these exist?

Is it religous or something?

Ass

Shit

Fuck

Same reason we have manners and etiquette that varies between cultures. It's just a social thing.

[Firetornado]

Having certain words that are bad seems arbitrary and stupid.

that reminds me--does anyone have the one video of the christian guy explaining the origin of bad words? he really nailed that shit on the head.

Because saying "bollocks" is a bit outdated.

I always saw bad words like a spice for a person's speech. Careful applications of it can add a strong emphasis to what is being said. But overuse of it can just make a person cringe.

As for why it's bad, I dunno.

It IS arbitrary, but I don't see how it's stupid. Almost everything about language is arbitrary

But yeah "bad words" being used by the right person and at the right time can have a massive effect.

Also that time when the guy you know never swears actually tells someone to fuck off or something and you know that shits really hitting the fan.

swearing can also help reduce pain if used sparingly
