Profanity
Profanity is a hot topic that causes rifts between different groups in society.
It is also
something which has evolved greatly and been given more exposure to the general public in recent
years.
Profane , which is the adjective form of profanity, originally meant “outside of the temple” in
Latin, and therefore referred to items not belonging to the church.
Through logical progression, this
has come to describe a word, expression or gesture which is interpreted to be insulting, rude, and/or
vulgar.
Profanity is also known as swearing, cursing, or cussing.
The verbs describing the use of
profanity are as follows: to cuss, to curse, to swear.
Other words that describe profanity (rather than
the action of saying these words) are: cuss/curse/swear/bad/dirty word, expletive and obscene
language.
• How often do you swear?
• Are you offended by swear words?
• Are there some cuss words that you would not use?
• Have you ever offended anyone by cursing?
