Mierda!
#14272022 - 04/11/11 12:13 PM (12 years, 9 months ago) |

In English, the pattern of pressure waves that make up the word "shit" are an obscenity. But the same word in Spanish, "mierda", is not an obscenity. A TV or radio station transmitting the first pattern of pressure waves can be fined or even shut down, but transmission of the second pattern is no problem.
So is "shit" obscene because it represents an undesirable substance? What about booger or sewage? They're both undesirable, but not obscene.
Maybe it's because "shit" represents a physiologic waste product. But so does "carbon-dioxide" and "sweat". So why is one waste product obscene and the others acceptable?
Seems neurotic to me. What do you think?

Swear words are offensive because they are forbidden and forbidden because they are offensive. There's nothing inherently wrong with them other than society by some process agreeing on them in particular.
"Bloody" for example has no provenance I'm aware of, at some point people just started saying "bloody" and meaning a curse by it. In the same book I read that last fact, I read that in the UK it is on the level of "shit" for offensiveness.
Almost all languages have swear words, it's an interesting topic.

It's cyclical in nature. We've had countless periods of laxness and prudery in history, and I couldn't care less, honestly. It doesn't strike me as a sign of a repressive society or anything.
The fact you can't show tits on television when we all sucked em for life growing up, however...

Stub your toe and yell "Feces!"
See how much that helps with the pain.
I guess the swearwords are pretty removed from whatever they originally meant.
Side effect, though:
"Asshole" is pretty mild, saying it doesn't really offend anyone unless it's your grandmother.
"Butthole" however, is more obscene. This is because when someone says "butthole" you think of a hairy balloon knot, where "he's an asshole" is now an abstraction.

Firstly, "shit" and "mierda" aren't synonymous. Secondly, "shit" has a far broader contextual use than, say, "poop" or "kaka."
Your comparisons are blatantly biased and filled with an underlying suggestive agenda.

Anyone know what's the past tense of shit? Is it shitted or shat?
Merriam-Webster says shat, but I'm not buying it.

ok poid. i see you're up to your usual self. let's have at it.
Quote:

haha i'm glad you were smart enough not to quote the next sentence proceeding that one:
Quote:
Terms such as Vete a la mierda (literally: "Go to (the) shit"), however, means to go to hell.
i'm sorry, but shit and mierda are NOT interchangeable. spanish is my second language and english is my third. i can assure you that mierda has FAR MORE meanings than shit, not to mention dozens of more regional colloquialisms. THEY ARE NOT SYNONYMS. so i don't really see why you quoted that.... 
my point is that shit can be offensive depending on its context. "go eat shit and die" is harsher than "go eat excrement/poop/kaka and die". literally, the message is the same. but, due to our socialization as children, we are more likely inclined to have a more extreme connotation attached to "shit."
the OP found censorship to be neurotic by comparing shit to its other synonyms, but i see it as a logical implication of how our general population views profanity.

It is shat. 
I don't really understand why curse words are considered curse words either, it doesn't make any sense. I guess it is just the intent behind it for the most part, but that only makes sense in some cases. For example, if you call someone a bitch it's a curse or but if you call a female dog a bitch it's just a description. Shit has no context in which it is not considered crude at the very least...I guess it has to date back to the origin of the words, and now people just think of them as dirty words because their parents say that they are. It's pretty amazing how long some curse words have been around really.

It wouldn't provide emotional release to swear if society as a whole didn't get all pissy about it. It feels good to swear when you get hurt because it's "naughty." Swearing at someone carries weight because it says "I am angry enough at you to break a social moré while expressing it"
I appreciate society's prudishness in that regard.

Mierda is profanity to a Spanish speaker. Kids are admonished whey they say it, as I was when I was a kid. They're supposed to say kaka instead.

i don't want to be rude so allow me to elaborate in our shared second language:
si dos palabras pueden tener definiciones diferentes, no son sinonimos. si, es la verdad que la palabra "mierda" y la palabra "shit" tienen definiciones similares, pero "mierda" tiene un sentimiento diferente. lo entiendes? por eso, "shit" y "mierda" son dos cosas muy distintas. dejame a ponerlo en contexto..
"Apurate! Vamos a tener una mierda!"
literalmente, eso significa "C'mon! Let's go have a shit!" en ingles. pero, en contexto, la frasa significa "C'mon! Let's go get fucked up!"

si, es la verdad que la palabra "mierda" y la palabra "shit" tienen definiciones similares, pero "mierda" tiene un sentimiento diferente.
No se de donde sacastes esa idea. Shit y mierda son exactamente la misma cosa. No hables mierda.

That shows me how much you don't have a clue about Spanish or the meaning of the word mierda.

they don't. we speak Standard American Edited English.
for example, americans use the word "addicting," but in England that would grammatically incorrect. the correct way to say that would be "addictive."

Mexicans adapt many english words into their vocabulary. it completely butchers the very essence of spanish. now, i know i'm making a generalization here. so let me define exactly who i'm talking about here: uneducated, lower-class mexicans.
ever wonder why a lot of mexicans in america barely pass their spanish classes? it's because they can't even speak it correctly.

that's not my point... americans find it acceptable when people say "addicting," which is my point: it's okay to have that grammatical irregularity.

Not to imitate the inimitable Poid, but I'd like to see a source for that. I think that's a pile of mierda de toro you're pulling out of your ass.

it's not a fact, just a personal observation... but then again, i did go to high school in LA county so my data could be completely biased (most likely is)

Ahaha! Found this today and thought it apropos. I've always suspected this was true, but now we have hard evidence:
--
You know that time you stubbed your toe and the blinding pain caused you to shout a string of choice words that would make your mother cringe? Turns out you weren't being rude — you were easing the pain.
Researchers at Keele University in the UK have found that swearing can have a painkilling power, especially for people that don't regularly curse. To test their theory, Dr. Richard Stephens and other scientists conducted an experiment with student volunteers. The students were asked to submerge their arms into a bucket of icy water, while repeatedly uttering a swear word. (It's not clear what the specific swear word was, but we're naturally assuming the worst.) They then repeated the experiment, while repeating a "harmless" word rather than a swear.
The results showed that volunteers were able to keep their arms in the icy water longer when they were swearing than they could when they were uttering the harmless word. According to the scientists, these results demonstrate the link between swearing and an increase in tolerance to pain. It should also be noted that for the volunteers who weren't habitual swearers, swearing was four times more likely to ease the pain caused by the icy water.
Why does this painkilling effect kick in when we swear? One theory the researchers are considering, is that swearing — an act of aggression, especially if it's not a part of your daily vernacular — triggers your fight-or-flight instincts, which can ramp up your tolerance to pain.
Of course, if your everyday conversation rivals Christian Bale's, not only are you ill mannered, but you're also less likely to experience the soothing effects that a well-timed, but not oft-used, F word can offer. (via Telegraph)
