Very interesting point of view Wires71 but within a language words have to have a meaning (or meanings) otherwise we would not be able to communicate. “Swear” words are the same. The fact that they usually relate to genitalia, and the more offensive words are based on female genitalia is intriguing. So the meaning of the word isn’t “owned” by the listener.
Why a word is given a specific meaning has always puzzled me. For example if you didn’t know any different “chlamydia “ I’ve always thought is a pleasant word (much like fuchsia) but the fact that it is the biggest killer of koalas ruins it for me.
The Buddhist approach to anger, however, is laudable. I will try to embrace it when reading this forum.
Be careful Captain, if you are thinking of Wires 71 analogy, make sure you give Mrs Hook some fuschias, as I don't think you'll get away with her rejecting your alternative and her saying that you are only hurting yourself
Sorry are we too far off topic??
