Morning, I've always wondered about that too! Why should a certain arrangement of letters be offensive and another one not? Joan.. |

Most of the old swear words were religious oaths (or derived from them) which contravened the commandment relating to "taking God's name in vain" Zounds - God's wounds Struth - God's truth Bloody - By our Lady Gad, egad Then the more modern euphemisms blooming flipping dash heck Jeepers Creepers crikey |

sounds like when Ali G was trying to get the guy who's in charge of film certification, to list which swear words would need to be used for a film to be classified as 18, or 15 etc.. |

Most of the 'bad' words are, I suppose, just a collection of letters, some just sound worse than others. Personally I am more offended by blasphemy. |
