Preferred term

trends in profanity  

Definition(s)

  • If all human societies in history share a minimum number of social customs and institutions, the designation of certain words as taboo speech (and the subsequent intentional and contextual use of such speech) clearly qualifies as one such commonality. Because its form is largely dependent on cultural context, cursing—a predominant form of taboo speech—is a concept difficult to define. [Source: Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media; Profanity, Trends in]
