I believe this continues

I liked doing that blog about cursing and I liked the peoples imput on it as well sent via Myspace.

If you haven't read it I would read it
before you read this. This read has more to do with modern and old ways of cursing rather than what I believe are curse words or not.

I did a tiny bit of digging into the world of cursing, or more so into books of cursing. I found the next book I will most likely purchase and it is called "Cursing in America" by Timothy Jay. After I read this article
with some comments by him I figured this would be a good read. I just read a few summaries on the book and I got some things I'd like to share out of it. I'd like to start out by saying even if you don't use a "curse word" by saying anything of a negative nature towards someone you are technically cursing someone. You do not need a certain word to curse someone. Curse words are different with each passing year. I never really realized it though. I'm pretty young, but even still I've seen a few evolutions into and of curse words. Douche bag is one of them. I have been known to say this quite often actually. From watching moives to hearing what people think about the word it seems as it is a new distastful word that could devlop into a curse word. If we asked our grandparents what were curse words back then they would say things like shoot, shucks (I guess those would be a modern day shit), gee, jeepers (damn or damnit?), and even for crying out loud. Its okay to say those things now even though I haven't heard those phrases or words said since the black and white version of "Leave it to Beaver." Why are those words okay to say now and the modern day ones not? They mean the same thing even if it has been over a span of time. People were scolded for using those words so why not now? Now I think if your going to abstain from any form of cursing you better look up all of them or I'd say you aren't true to your word. I don't care if its lost its meaning over the years. Shit will eventually lose its vulgar meaning as shoot did. Who knows shit might actually mean good about fifty years from now.

Man: (In awe) Wow! You look like shit ma'am.
Woman: (flattered and winks) Why thank you, your looking pretty shitty yourself.
