Swearing

THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS LANGUAGE.  DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU JUST DON'T CARE.

"Oh, darn it!"
"What the hell?"
"OMG!"
"****!"

Swearing.  What's your opinion?

People of different ethnic groups look at swearing in a different way.  Some think it's totally acceptable...while others look down at it in scorn and disdain.

Some people state that simply calling someone stupid is swearing, while others don't even grasp the concept.  Some religious people freak at you when you say "god" or use the Lord's name in vain.  (Not me though, I'm an atheist).

In the dictionary, a swear word is a word marked with the TABOO sign.  For example, bloody and uh...you get the point.  But what IS a taboo word?  A taboo word is a word that you should not say.....Then isn't every negative word out there a swear word/taboo?  Huh.

Speaking of swearing and pain, I somewhat recently saw a report online that showed that swearing is actually good for you!  They did a test with college students where they made them put their hands in freezing cold water.  The ones who were allowed to let it all out (swear) kept their hands in the water longer.  Huh.

But nobody likes to hear swear words...so just remember your surroundings when you want to squeeze in a word.  The Worst Times to Swear:

1.  At school in front of your teacher
2.  With religious people
3.  Right before midnight (just kidding)
4.  At work when you're talking to your boss

Swearing gives people the idea that you're a rude, impolite person.  Oh well.  I guess I'm one of them.  -_-

Good bye.  I swear to you that I won't ever use a horrible bad swear word in this blog ever again....depending on what you think, of course.  ^_^
