00:00Fuck!

00:10Swear words. They're the most popular and alluring taboos we have.

00:13But the secrets to their strange power have been shrouded in mystery.

00:17Until now.

00:18Join me on a journey through the history, evolution, and cultural impact of swear words.

00:24Words don't start out as swear words. They're just words.

00:27Somebody decided at some point that this is a swear word.

00:30There's an acronym etymology,

00:32fornication under consent of the king.

00:34This household has been given my consent to fuck!

00:39It is total horseshit.

00:41Imagine you've been called the worst that you could be called so often.

00:43That doesn't mean anything to you anymore.

00:45Taking that negative and inverting it.

00:47What's the intention of the speaker and what's the reception of the hearer?

00:51My dog's a bitch, but I never call her that.

00:53Who are you calling a bitch?

00:54I call her a cunt.

01:12There are scientific studies that say that you feel better when you swear.

01:16You can hold your hand in a bucket of nearly freezing water.

01:20About 50% longer if you're swearing than if you're not.

01:25Shit.

01:26Shit.

01:26I think there's a need now for swearing and profanity more than any other time.

01:30Two minutes and 20 seconds.

01:31Ah!

01:32The power of cursing.

01:33Like, it's important.

01:34The release.

01:35That's really what profanity gives us.

01:37Oh, shit.

01:38Bitch.

01:39Fuck that pussy.

01:40Dick.
