A little added note
I don't understand profanity!: (For the sake of children who may have wandered onto this page, I'll only refer to specific words by their first letter and ellipses. I'm certain what I'm talking about will be obvious.)
Sure, some profanity makes sense. For example: you don't like someone so you say, "Go to h...!" You hate them and if they go to h... they are assured of being uncomfortable so you can rejoice in their discomfiture. But, for the most part profane curses are simply stupid. Consider calling someone a b... It's not his fault that his parents weren't married and that has no bearing on his worth or potential. Leonardo de Vinci was a b... and he turned out pretty good. Does yelling at someone, "You're as good as Leonardo de Vinci!" sound like an effective curse?
Another silly expletive is "f... you," and its variations. F... ing is an enjoyable pastime. If you hate someone you wouldn't express this hatred by suggesting that they go and do something that's pleasant, would you?
Careful examination of many of our most popular profane expressions show that they really don't make much sense. Try analyzing your own favorite curse and see if it's logical. It may explain why the next time you use it, the person it's directed at may turn around with a smile and say, "Thank you!"
