What the *&@%!

We all have our favorite curse words to use when we’re feeling angry, frustrated, upset, excited, surprised.

Curse words give us a colorful vocabulary but, where did those filthy (yet cathartic) expressions come from? Well, I went on a quest to look into some of the most common cus words. Fuck, first — Here we go.

Having sex is fucking. But it is used in other ways that are not romantic at all. They are downright mean!

Sex is a word maybe should represent love and having babies. I mean, that is what happens when two people or animals do it. Egg meets sperm and it’s magic. It should be a beautiful thing, right? So where’d the anger and hostility come from by using the word FUCK?

I learned the f-word at school in about the 5th grade.

The hippy thing was blowing up in California. Tons of new things were blossoming in society. Pant had bell bottoms. Mini-skirts. Long hair.
