Is damn a swear word?
Just a thought I'd like some opinions on: Is damn a swear word?
I've been thinking that over time different words develop different meanings to different generations. Words that were offensive many years ago have no meaning today. I remember some TV drama set in the past where the phrase "sweating" was offensive. "You don't sweat" said the posh lady, "people perspire, only horses sweat". I guess the phrase sweat like a horse meant something when a horse was the primary source of transport and mechanisation.
Anyway, is damn still considered a swear word would you think?
Hi Steve,
here's my opinion on the word 'Damn'
I wouldn't consider 'Damn' to be a swear word, saying that, i am still only 16, so my life experience is quite limited.
But i still don't consider 'Damn' to be a swear word.
hi steve
i am 86 years old and as far as i can remember the word damn has never been a swear, infact i remember back in world war 2 we used the word as a commpliment for our comrades.
I'm only 14 and I DON'T think that DAMN is a cruse word. But my friends keep telling me it is. But I don't believe them.
