Why Do People Swear, I find that Swearing is a bad ,for people all around the world.?
463941
People swear because they wanted to get what they want.  Especially in borrowing money.  Some sweared to pay but forgot all about it after borrowing and spending it.  Thats why there's a saying  " Promises are made to be broken " the same way in swearing.

Hey- good question! I had no idea, so I looked up the answer for you. Here it is:\n\nMinced Oaths\n\nThe English, being a restrained lot, have a long list of euphemistic phrases, many of which became part of the language before it spread to other parts of the world. The root cause of these is a wish to communicate without being explicit. This is something the English are particularly fond of, hence their long tradition of double-entendre comedy.\n\nEuphemisms aren't all from the distant past though. For every Shakesperian 'beast with two backs' there's a 20th century 'knee trembler'.\n\nMinced oaths are a sub-group of euphemisms used to avoid swearing when expressing surprise or annoyance. If you hit your thumb with a hammer when great aunt Edith is in the room what do you say? It's probably going to be a minced oath. Shakespeare might have resorted to 'gadzooks' (God's hooks - referring to the nails in the cross), we might try 'shoot' or 'freaking heck'.\n\nThey are usually, although not exclusively, religious in nature and date from the days when it wasn't acceptable to use the name of God, Jesus or other religious notables in everyday speech. To mince your words, or mince matters, means to choose words so as not to offend anyone. Some example are 'Jiminy Cricket' (Jesus Christ), 'dagnamit' (God damn it'), 'for Pete's sake' (for St. Peter's sake).\n\nIt's interesting that, while we continue to generate new euphemisms, new minced oaths are few and far between. Perhaps that's because, while there are still taboos about discussing death, disability, homosexuality etc, the restrictions on swearing out loud when surprised or annoyed have slackened somewhat. \n\nThere are many examples:\n\nBejabbers --> By Jesus \nBleeding heck --> Bloody Hell \nBlimey --> Blind me \nBy golly --> By God's body \nBy gosh --> By God \nBy Jove --> By God \nCrikey --> Christ \nCriminy --> Christ \nDagnabbit --> God damn it \nDagnammit --> God damn it \nDang --> Damn \nDangnabbit --> God damn it \nDoggone --> God damn \nDrat --> God rot it \nEgad --> A God \nFlaming heck --> Fucking Hell \nFlipping heck --> Fucking Hell \nFor crying out loud --> For Christ's sake

Words are just words. I think it is the intent and the tone that makes them harsh. Think about it . Some people use curse words in an endearing way, " oh, isn't he a cute little s***"? Also, an other example would be the tone your mother uses to call your name. You know when you're in trouble. No, I do not think eliminating curse words would improve our society or that it is legally possible.

Lack of more intelligent word in their vocabulary.  Swearing is a sign of ignorance.

Found a few things for ya .. http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/  .. also .. (copied from the site and links placed below) .. Dictionaries of slang and swear words\nI had a problem these days because I didn't know the meaning of a swear word and asked what the word meant, but some people complained. After that incident I searched for some help and found it on Urban Dictionary. It is a slang dictionary with thousands of words and growing. But I searched for more and found The Alternative English Dictionary - Slang, profanities, insults and vulgarisms from all the world. A nice place to find not so nice words, it has a a PDF version, useful for vacations.\n\nAnd there is more: a swearsaurus: The Art of Insults. Offensive jokes, an insulting slang dictionary, the world's largest multilingual swearing archive of 165 languages, random insult generators - you'll find them all here. I took a look on Brazilian Portuguese Language Swear Words page and I had some surprises. I didn't know many of the words and expressions of the list and I can't use most of them, because they are too rude for my taste, even when I'm very angry. I tried also the Portuguese Language Swear Words list but didn't find some of my favourite expressions (no, I won't write them here).\n\nPosted by Bibi at August 14, 2005 07:30 PM in Language

I am soooo offended by this stuff...even in MY OWN HOME!!! My husband can't even say a single sentence without inserting at least 3-4 curse words sometimes!!! That is just ridiculous in my book. It's always, "Pass the Da*n potatoes", or "that supper was Fu**in fine, Baby!" I mean REALLY!!! We have kids and it's gotten way out of hand. \n\nThey think that because Daddy does it that it's OK for them to do it, they're 12 and 15. They've tried cursing at ME...that didn't go over very well or last very long!!! If he wants to talk that way at work around his buddys that's his business. BTW, it's against company policy. But, keep it there!!! He doesn't talk that way in front of HIS MOTHER!!! I am embarrassed to be around him in public these days! I think most people do it just to fit in. But, it really just makes them sound dumb. If you want to express yourself, there are plenty of words in the dictionary. The only word that I've been able to stop him from saying so much is GD. I make him put money in the 'Vacation Jar" every time and make hime say he's sorry to the whole family. \n\nAs for hearing it in public...I am most offended when I hear children cursing. I just makes me so sad. They just sound so...well...stupid... uneducated...what ever you want to call it. It just sounds bad. It's disrespectful, I don't care what anyone else thinks. Disrespectful to the people hearing it and to the people doing it. The sad part is, the people doing it don't even know how bad they sound. They actually think it makes them look better. Go figure.

It's sad to hear people swear and to know that is is more the rule than the exception anymore.  It makes a person look unintellegent, and without creativity.  \n   My grandfather was a man who had his temper, but never cussed.  Then one day, someone did something and he said that one word, it had alot more power to it.  That is my outlook on all cuss words; if you use them all the time they lose their significance or power, but if you reserve the use of them for that whole other level of your frustration they have a little more impact.

It's rude to correct someone in front of others, but if you are their friend, do it privately and kindly. This will keep them from sounding ignorant the next time. (I can hear people reaching for the computer mouse to give me thumbs' down). If I mispronounced something horribly, I would want my friends to tell me so I would not make the same mistake twice.

Because alot of people these days don't have manners to begin with, and the relative anonymity of the internet seems to give them license to say all kinds of rude and foul things. :(

Too many people look for attention in vulgarity.  Too many people are too close minded to vulgarity.  So what is offensive to you is entertainment to others.  Also what is entertainment to you may be offensive to others.  Personally I'm for censorship, "Vulgarness" is not part of my world, and I do not want it forced on me or my family.  Freedom of speech?  I don't think it is part of our culture.

My family used to be (when my parents were still alive and us kids were closer to home) prone to getting into heated "discussions" about most any topic. Whatever the popular opinion, my dad would always play the devils advocate, and off we'd go, debating darned near anything. One Sunday, we got into it about cursing. Part of us took the stance that only the designated curse words were truly curse words, and who decided what they were anyway? And part of us took the side that ANY word would be a curse word if used with the right emotion. Ex: if you say darn and you really meant damn, or really WANTED to say damn, then you may as well have gone ahead and said damn! The others were no way! Only the word damn is a curse word, and darn and heck and shoot are all perfectly good alternatives...well, so it went in my house!\nPoint being, I personally think that it's the emotion behind the word used, and say, in the case of Tourette's, there is no emotion intended, just an uncontrollable outburst of words that just happen to be considered foul by society. Now, having said all that, the Bible does have something to say about not allowing a rotten saying to come out of our mouths, along with swearing (as in "I swear to God I didn't take your purse!" The Bible says to let our yes mean yes and our no mean no) You'll find those verses at Eph 4:29 and Matt 5:37.

Some people just feel the need to be vulgar without any real reason for it.  I have found that there isn't really a lot of religious tolerance demonstrated on this forum.  I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, but I also try to respect the views and beliefs of the other religions of this forum.  Someone else on this site asked once, "why can't we just agree to disagree?"  The foul language isn't necessary.

Usually it is out of frustration with something that is not going the way that the person cussing was hoping for. Sometimes it is just a word used as filler because they can't think of the word that they wanted to use. You know, like how when you are talking and are trying to think of a word, so you say, "Um", or, "Ah". It's the same thing. People shouldn't cuss as much as they do, however, it seems to have become accepted as just part of society now days. I have to admit that I am guilty of doing this. I'm not as bad as some people that I've heard in public. Mostly younger kids these days, (teens),  have the worst potty mouths! I hear them on the bus cussing, and they don't even look around first to check and see if maybe there is a mother with a little kid riding the bus too! I won't cuss in front of children. That's just rude. I don't want people doing it in front of MY kids either.
