Default Curse words.

Hey everyone, im specs brother, Tsu.

Today as i stared at the bumps on my ceiling i realized something.
Cursewords... they're just words right? I mean if you didn't know what they meant and heard tthem it would just sound like a quirky sound. But when do we find out what they mean. Is it when we repeat them and our parents yell at us because its a so called "bad word". Wouldn't it have been better if they just ignored it. I mean at the time we didn't even know of the word. So if our parents managed to let it slide, our teacher's, neighbors, or mailmen wouldn't. You have to realize that words dont mean anything without definitions. (apparently) Its like in freddy vs jason (bad movie btw), freddy became powerless because the town where he originated came up with a way to "forget" him. What if we came up with a way to "forget" curse words, i mean would it even be possible? No one could speak of the words at all, and then over the generations the words would dissapear. And then leading to another problem. Maybe more words would arise. Some guy would be walking down the street, stubb his toe, and say "funklestein!". Someone would hear it, and they would pass it on. IT would spread through the world like a disease.

Yes i know this post is somewhat pointless. Maybe in truth we truly need curse words. We may not have ways of expressing certain "feelings" then.

Yet it is an interesting thought, they are just words. Words dont have to be taught right? Hmmm...
