The USA Does Not Have Any Swear Words, They Have All Been Inherited From European Countries. Should The Words Be Removed From The American Language?

[Sunrising]

Someone recently asked about the F•••y word recently and I was thinking all the swear words come from Europe.

Should the American language be cleaned up and the swear words below removed?

Pornsites have been removed to protect our children, shouldn't swear words be removed to protect our children too?

how precisely do you remove words? remove them from what? dictionaries?

most people don't learn swear words from academic research but through conversation. so banning them wouldn't make swear words go away.

and again i'm not sure exactly where you'd suggest the words be removed from

[Sunrising]

But they are not American words, why should an American want to use them lol.

[madhatters4]

you know there are literally almost no "American" words? American English is from UK English. English is based on germanic languages primarily with a lot of Romance language influence.

with this logic to remove from American English and non-native American words would effectively eliminate the entirely language

[slatyb]

Removed? How would you do that? No one can control what people say. Groups have repeatedly tried to remove pejorative terms like "moron" and replace them with terms like "mentally retarded" and then "special needs". It's hopeless. Those terms were almost immediately applied to people of normal intelligence who make ignorant or thoughtless comments or take unwise actions.

You can remove them all you want to but we're still going to say them!!!

It's true that you should say the actual swear word when you are upset and don't substitute the word! Just say the actual swear word because it makes the person feel better.

Fudge, shoot, and darn it DON'T RELAX YOU ❣️

swear words are not American? are our swear words not in English? ? mother f'er, etc. that is English. English is the American language. this is a really weird nonsense question. every language, every country, has their own swear words.

[Sunrising]

But the origin is not English, they are from other countries.

[OlderAndWiser]

Porn sites have been removed from where?

[Sunrising]

Closed down.

[purplepoppy]

America has very few original words, swearing or otherwise. It's entire language was imported and even after centuries there's been little evolution past calling biscuits cookies and misspelling colour.

[RandomGirl42]

Does any country have any original words? 🤔

[MrOracle]

Exactly.

[ohsheeT]

No all those words should stay all the other words should be removed

Who has the gutter mouth over there im sure you guys didn't make them up either

[MrChinaski]

Meh. Used appropriately, swear words express intensity of emotion in 4 letters what could take 4 sentences. I'll keep the productivity improvement, thanks.

On-line "sites" are a type of commodity that CAN be comptroller dot a degree. Words are not- people will use them or not, at their own choosing.

[Massageman]

"controlled to a degree" - ew I hate Siri.

[AviatorTom]

The cussword DANG is genetically American, a Southernization of damn.

[XXblack88]

No I don't agree but if you wish not to speak like that that should be your choice alone

[WonderingManII]

C. Something else. It is irreverent, because the majority rules.

[msc545]

Fuck no. We are very used to your swear words. Thanks for contributing to our culture.

[Mike_Hum]

fucking type out the words you mean.

[Sunrising]

Hey I only know the first letter, but I know they are all bad European words.

[Mike_Hum]

ah you're one of those.

[NathanDavis]

bless your heart...

[DryGermanGuy]

These damn communist Europeans again! 😤😠

[noohair]

Wanker...

[Sunrising]

Correct that's also not an American word, it's of British origin of around 1950, and became popular in the 1970's.

[noohair]
