| English swear words:) - I'd love to know English swear words. This is because I have heard a lot of words in public I guess offensive but I do not understand their meanings and usage. Can anyone show me? Thanks a lot! | |

| - Hello Spring,
If you can type the words that you've heard (even approximate spelling).. we will try to help you. [i]In my humble opinion, swear words are just filler that don't carry any meaning, so I don't use them, but it is true that they are used pervasively in society (and unfortunately necessitate at least a little understanding). sigh*[/i] | |

| - I actually know some people who use them (in particular a certain word starting with "f") in the same way people use "um", "er" or "like". | |

| - well i'll start with some of less vulgar words...
damn is a word that means to something similar to condemn. In vulgar word use it can express anger about something Damn! the stupid thing won't work or it can be like an expression of surprise damn, that's nice! Also used for emphasizing the fact that the noun is stupid The damn thing won't work also used in a sentence like "damn you" which is like saying "i hate you at this moment". Can be used sarcastically too. hell, the place we all know of as the firey lake.. the word is used like to express surprise.. "What the hell?!", or "what the hell is happening?!" or "what the hell did you do?!" you can even use it with damn "Damn you to hell!" a little stronger than just "damn you". Now to Ass. Literally a donkey. In english slang it's used like "butt". "That girl has a nice ass!". The word also can be used for calling someone an idiot, crude, irritating person. "That guy is an ass". That concludes this lesson of English swear words, thank you for taking the time to read this. | |

First word- Shit - People use this word for almost everything lol That's the shit - That is good I have to shit - I need to make a... bowel movement. Shit hell no - Shit here is used for emphisis Next word - Hell Hell - A bad place to go! Hell naw - Used for emphisis - NO! Go to hell - Leave me alone, buzz off, go away The worst word Fuck Fuck off - Go away MotherFUCKER - A bad thing to call someone Fuck You - Another Bad expression Fuck this shit - This is dumb Next word Ass Ass commonly refers to ones rear end She has a big ass - She has a big rear end Your face looks like an ass - You are ugly Asshole - A bad name to call someone Bastard (less vuglar yet still bad to say) Bastard by defintion is someone born out of wedlock, but we commonly use it for everything but that lol You are a Bastard - You are (something negitive) BASTARD! - STUPID ! Next word Damn Damn is just a common curse / cuss word used mostly for emphises on things Damn that looks bad - That looks really bad. Bitch - A bad word to call a female... or a male for that matter. She is a bitch - She is very mean Combining cuss words for the ultimate worse effect Damn, Bitch your face looks fucked up ! - Wow your face looks bad Motherfucker, you are a shit eating bastard - Dummy, you are a fecies eating person Please note: Using curse words is in a way offencive to some people. Use these words carefully or not at all! | |

| - Very very very true mattie. Some bad words have "evolved" from other words that in the past were not harmless. Like the F*** word. It first came from when people would tell horrible lies and then their punishment would be to be put in a wooden cage with metal bars and paraded throughout the town and to be humiliated. The word "F*CK" was painted on the front of this "cage" and it stood for
F = For U = Unlawfully C = Credited K = Knowledge I believe... and people would scream the word at the tops of their lungs and throw food and things at the person... Unfortunately people don't use bad words in a good way. :( | |
