YPProfessor Ramser English 1AApril 7, 2017Profanity At Its Finest All around the world many people use different languages to communicate. One of the main languages many people use to communicate is profanity language. Profanity is an irreligious and obscene language which means it is not a sacred language to use when talking to someone. The most common swear word that most teens/adults use in almost every day speech is the “f” word. Many types of media also use this word for example, songs, movies, TV shows and many more. The “f” word is used in almost every informal situation and to express any type of emotion; the only thing that separates the way you use this word is the tone in which you are speaking it. Although the “f” word is an uneducated word to use when speaking, it is used as a noun, verb, adverb etc. While I was in high school, my perspective about profanity language was that it was being used more often in students and in teachers. Therefore, many students would use the “f” word for almost every sentence they spoke. The article Excessive Swearing in teenagers quotes, “Evidence of this is in my daily life in school; I hear teenagers saying swear words, especially the f-bomb. Many teens have to make a simple, everyday object like a chair the “F***ing chair” or the “F***ing desk” instead of just the “chair” or the “desk.” (Jswanson). The quote explains how many teens can’t perform a simple task without using the “f” word to mention an object. Many of my friends and I also use the “f” word in front of every object or sentence we talk. It has become and everyday use word sometimes people don’t even realize that they just said the “f’ word because they are so familiar with the word. Walking inside a target store I observed a group of teenage girls using the “f” word to reference a girl that they hate because of the way she dresses. They all spoke about her being a “f***ing whore” and being “ugly asf” which was very fascinating to me because they were very young looking. For this reason many teens use the “f” word to emphasize how angry they are and who they are angry about. The article Swearing quotes, “people who swear are often judged negatively, because the uttered swearwords can shock and disturb others” (Lauren M blysma). The quotes explain how people who swear are usually referring to something bad or someone that they are talking negatively about. Many teens who are angry tend to use the “f” word without them knowing. The “f” word is very popular now in days, do to the fact that nobody cares about how you speak or express yourself, teens find this word like any normal word. As a result, teens use the “f” bomb to make their sentences seem more interesting to others. The quote, “Nobody gives a sh*t about “f*ck” anymore” (Benjamin Bergen) explains how this word has become like any ordinary word because no one is doing anything about it. Teens find it cool and believe they are much popular because they use this type of word. Parents can’t figure out a way to stop there kids from using this language.Most teens and adults swear all the time even if they don’t know it, but the reality is that we all do it. For instance the quote, “we swear on average from 0.3% to 0.7% of the time — a tiny but significant percentage of our overall speech” (John M Grohol) shows how much curse words we speak. While speaking to my friend Diana, over the phone I noticed that we both tended to using the “f” word whether it be to reference something or to show how excited we were about something. The “f” word is being used in many types of ways to show different types of expressions, for example if you are angry you tend to say “f*** that sh**” or if you are excited you tend to say, “omg no f***ing way”. Teens tend to use the f word the same way but also in a different style because they abbreviate the “f” word in many ways. Teens have abbreviated words with the “f” word like “omfg”, “idgaf” and many other words to shorten what they are trying to speak. For this reason, I believe that many teens curse do to the fact that technology has a big part in all these abbreviations and new words. The “f” word has increased more now that before because technology and social media does a good job at exhibiting this word. Most kids at an early age are beginning to show signs of using curse words do to the fact that the “f” word has become so common throughout the years. The “f” word is also very common because TV shows and radio shows have portrayed the word as if it is any common word.Artists on television also use the “f” word as if it was any common word because they are familiar with using it, that sometimes it just slips off their mouth. Therefore teens, are the most common people that watch television which makes it easier for them to use this word. They find TV shows more interesting do to the fact that they portray this type of language. Teens feel like they can relate to the TV shows because they feel like it is okay to use the “f” word because adults are using as well. Teens do not realize the type of language that they are using because they don’t know what it means they just use it because it is very common in people to use. Most of them use this word to fit in with their friends. In conclusion, the “f” word has become a popular word to in teens because everyone including adults have become addicted to using this word. This word has become so popular that many people don’t even realize how often they use it or they don’t even realize that they are using it. The “f” word is being used in many ways for example, to show an emotion or to inform a situation. Therefore, this word can be used as a noun adverb, adjective and many more, which make it a word to use in every single sentence. Profanity language has become very popular throughout the years and is now used as a common language to use anywhere. Works CitedGlover, Melanie B. "What the heck? Casual cursing by teens is rising."
