Who created curse words?
414674
Curse words date back to the early 17th century. It was said that Witches invented them. It was believed that when a witch put a spell (or a curse) on something, they would yell certain words. These words were thus believed to hold bad things and were not accepted. The history passed on for years and years, however, in the 1900's people started using the words as a means of pillory. The meaning of the words continued to evolve and are what we hear today.\n\n\n\nBy the way - that is a bunch of BS, but it is believeable!

Biblical origins. Think of St Peter. Think of the omnipresent medieval church and think of hitting your thumb with a hammer. You can't swear, else the local priests will have you up before the Bishop and the Lord alone knows what the outcome of that will be, so you exclaim, in appropriate tone of voice, "For Saint Peter's sake" and carry on erecting the shelves. This phrase was amended to "For Pete's Sake" in later, less religiously oppressive, times.\n: This is called a "minced oath," a substitution of a less offensive word. \nFOR PETE'S SAKE - The phrase is simply a polite version of a common and profane expression involving the name of Christ. We'd surmise that the original 'Pete' was St. Peter."  Substituting less offensive words - like Godfrey Daniel for the other GD - is called a minced oath.

Most of the English curse words are of Anglo-Saxon origin. As a matter of fact curse words have changed very little in the past 1000 years or so, except they have perhaps taken on the derogatory meaning which might not have been meant. F..k, s..t, b..h were originally not bad words. C..t is a special case because it did have a meaning other than vagina- it was actually used in the Canterbury tales spelled(quent). So yes, b..ch does mean female dog, but only in the past few hundred years has the current everyday usage been in use.
