Steven Pinker gives a hilarious talk about swearing,

He offers that a culture selects swear words out of its taboos. So in some cultures we have scatological swears, and in others, religious. The Quebecois swears would surely burn the ears off a Jehovah's Witness.
pissed
I told a JW you pissed me off, he said hey that true christians do not use that word.
Back in the '70's when Happy Days was a favoite TV show and I was rearing my daughter as a dub, my daughter said "Sit on it, Potsy" in front of me, two JW women and one of the women's smaller children. I laughed. One of the dear "sisters" turned to the small child, "That was a bad thing for B**** to say. Just because her mommy laughed, that doesn't make it okay," or words that meant exactly that. The real bummer is that I didn't defend myself or my daughter. What a dumbass I was!
I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to say "Fuck your Governing Body and its Bullshit"...
