Is swearing really any Good?
Bumping into a corner table, stumbling over a stone on the way or
missing a bus, usually, are the situations in which we utter a profane or
obscene expression. If we were to give a reason why we do that, we would
probably be stumped for a valid reason. However, we’ve got to know why they
come so spontaneously and why we are so frequent to choose them. We need to
understand that swear words (that can have plenty of other socially acceptable
alternatives) are not appropriate at all; they are just unacceptable. Their use
triggers swift arousal at a certain level depending on its accentuality. This
syntactic liberty is not only possible in English Language but all the rest
humans put their thoughts in.
There is no escaping the fact that initially, it is due to the
habitual practice of our own family members, be it nuclear or extended family.
In an extended family, you may experience the frequency more as there could be
more contributors to making the environment pretty conducive for its casual
use. Initially, it is slow. You just hear them and for some time they remain in
your head, then with the passage of time, you let them go out loud boldly and
shamelessly. You feel cool to see them creating such a rhetorical effect. You
then practice it outdoors, spoiling your mates and get even motivated upon
compliments. Their use is not only to simmer down the rage; it is common when
you are hanging out with your friends. Among peers, it is likely to lead a
slanging match that could soon turn into a physical fight.
Strangely enough, girls these days have ever-increasing tendency to
use swear words not any less than the boys and they don’t have to get into the
flap to utter them; they do it just like that.
A survey carried out by the Social Research Council, Lancaster
University and Cambridge University Press found that women swear more than men
and are 10 times more likely to say s***. Girls being outdoors either for
education or to earn their livelihood find swearing really effective in making
a scary impression of them, making people, esp. the opposite gender feel
hesitant to mess with them. However, this makes them have a bad reputation as
well which they take as a compliment as in the rhetorical toolkit it is the
chisel that gets them amazingly precise effect.
Talking about females in this context mustn’t give an impression of
men having some legal right to use swear words, we all must feel uncomfortable
not only when we spit some bad word out but when we hear such a thing. Do we
really have to train our girls to use swear words to make themselves heard or
to get them ready for the mainstream world outdoors just because some stupid
westerner holding a Ph.D. in human psychology claims that swearing emboldens
you enough to get your things done? Not to mention, swearing is beneficial to
help you increase your ability to endure pain. Researchers also say that those
who swear have comparatively a more fluent vocabulary than those who don’t
swear. The question is, “Are we ready to replace the moral beliefs with this
scientific crap in character building of our generation?”
