I can't help but wonder if this is because of how english swear words get adapted into other languages.
It's not uncommon to hear variations of english swear words in my language.. even printed in the newspaper or children's books.. nobody thinks twice about it.. but our native swear words take on a different tone and meaning altogether.
Maybe this could contribute to why it's easier to swear in english? (the words not holding the same type of gravity/meaning)
- posterboy 10y agoIt's not just the adaption, but also the isolation from the context.
