Profanity

Related: religion - blasphemy - profane illumination

Definition

Profanity is a word choice or usage which many consider to be offensive. The original meaning of the term was restricted to blasphemy, sacrilege or taking God's name in vain (profane speech), especially expressions such as "God damn it", "go to Hell", and "damn you". The word bloody may belong in this category.

However, the meaning has been extended to include scatological or sexual terms (in English, primarily shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cock, tits, fart, turd, twat, faggot, and, frequently, bitch and bastard). The list includes words that are merely vulgar as well as those thought obscene. Compare the concept of the four-letter word. --http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity
