Profanity.

FUCK. I forgot to upload this post! See what I did there? Emphasis... use of profanity provides emphasis.

And I guess that's the moral of this weeks topic of profanity. Use of profanity provides emphasis on what you're trying to say. Turns out there's a number of uses for such words as 'fuck' in establishing some sort of identity within society, and following certain codes too. I have a quote extracted from Elle's blog: Jay (2009) states that profanity is an “emotion in ways not realizable in normal non-taboo language”

It is an aspect of our daily lives, and the more time goes on the more normal it is to utilise swear words in daily conversations, music, tv shows, etc. Less words are becoming hidden or beeped out. This is because it's becoming normal, it's becoming sociable and actually entertaining to hear such words. This is a reflection of times changing, and of different social codes coming in to place and replacing old ones. Interactions have changed between males and females and within society overall in the past 100 years. This is also a reflection of the change within society. Everything comes with it, even the swearing!
