swearing

When thinking of something to write this evening for being bad i thought of swearing. As a child i can always remember my father swearing, not much around the house but out with friends most, i always wondered why? so tonight i thought why not write about swearing. There is widespread public association between swearing and social class. This may be so my dad was working class and came from a coal mining background which is fair to say is a lower- class working job which has a regular group of men swearing and affirming their position as members of that social group. I feel people use swear words as a way to express themselves in a more powerful way and when i have used moderate swear words its been beneficial as a way to express the way i feel, and a great way to relieve stress.

there are some clips on http://www.youtube.com/ you need to type in swearing to find the clips they have films from oliver twist and about the joys of swearing. from my point of view swearing is quite an interesting phenomenon, since it manages to elude most attempts at classification and grammatical structuring.
