    Once asked my high school latin teacher to tell me the very best latin curse. He was a priest so the best I got was, “Cum vim Hercules!”

    Pretty sure the first words were what would now be considered foul language.

    Cursing and swearing may make you feel better (in the moment) – but may also injure those who have to hear it (in that same moment).

    There is no doubt which came first, the curse word or the mechanic. Mechanics are born swearing. In fact they teach truckers and sailors how to curse.

    Inarticulate screaming works perfectly well.

    And the first swear word will probably mention an activity they love. Never understood that.

    “Son of a monkey!” is an original.

    Someone, somewhere decided that certain words were curse words. And, as soon as they were invented, of course, people started saying them for shock value. Human nature.

    I would think that would be the moment that they were invented and then modified as language changed.

    Sometimes when frustrated, I’ve said nonsense sounds or typed random letters.

    That’s why you stick your thumb in your mouth, after you smash it – to keep from swearing:‑X
