About the Book
There are certain words and gestures in most, if not all, lands and languages that carry a badge of dishonor, ridicule, or disgust when uttered. Even in cases where the intentions of these words don’t express inappropriate messages, they are still considered vulgar because of spelling and traditional influence. But words that are synonymous to those that are considered vulgar terminology are being used in and with the same manner, meaning, and maliciousness, and are not considered offensive. Words are used to transport catalytic intentions whose job is to produce the desired effect. With that in mind, it is obvious that any word can accomplish this task if equipped with the right disparaging intent, regardless of spelling. Some of the most seemingly harmless people in society can commit the most heinous atrocities because of the wicked purpose hidden in their hearts. Words can produce the same effect. We must concentrate on the objective of the word in order to lucidly define what it really means to swear.
