Stop Using CURSE Words!!! A Must Watch!
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT ✨
more oc art :3
Had the idea the other day that we are woefully underproducing curse words. The quality of the language is atrocious. Who came up with these?
First of all, why are half of these words considered the worst words you can say?? The meanings suck. Oh noooooo you called someone a female dog? Don’t we all hate female dogs? Such a dirty word; great choice of curse word design. No. And a bunch are just natural neutral-to-positive human body parts? Are we eight?
Then of course I started thinking about minced oaths. For instance, how we make up words like “frick” to stand in for the f——k alternative. Then I realized “frack” would be so far superior in curse word quality. Why are we using a word for sex (generally a positive experience..?) when we could be saying fracking which is literally a highly negative term intrinsically?
Fracking would be such a good curse word: it would draw attention to how bad the actual activity is, it literally means something is earth-shatteringly bad, it’s disgusting. Everyone would know the term and so it would create prejudice against it and pressure oil companies into better practice. I honestly forgot a lot of my original reasoning. But it would be good & better quality for the purpose than the originals, trust.
We really should have had a better linguist when they decided to establish the curses, I’m telling you.
Silly Game Time: They just updated the operating system that controls reality (oh, by the way, your reality is a simulation controlled by a reprogrammable operating system—sorry about that) and it's now impossible to use all the swear words people used just yesterday. What is a replacement (or some replacements) you would suggest people use from now on?
Mudskipper.
Also how would this work for words with two meanings? Like shit or pussy, that are used for both purposes and not like bitch, which has a meaning but is never used for it?
I don't want to include the "top-tier" curse words in my novel, which is aiming for a older middle-grade/YA audience.
But my main character is really trying to say "fuck" right now.

So in American English cellphones, the autocorrect will often replace curse words with innocent words, like 'f*ck' being replaced with 'duck'
My question is, do other languages have similar autocorrect for curse words? Or Non-American English?
