Why is a cuss word considered a cuss word? Who decided it was a cuss word?

If a 2 two year old says “damn” when they drop a spoon on the floor, are they cussing? Is “damn” a cuss word?

How many cuss words do you know? When did you learn them? When were you old enough to use them?

Am I a bad person if I know dirty words? Or only if I say them out loud?

Is it different to hear a man cuss versus a woman?

Do we cuss more than people in other countries?

Do words have meaning, or do we, as individuals, give them meaning? (This is the REAL question, but what does it mean?!!!!)

Recall that Discussion Board assignments are designed to help you implement effective interpersonal behaviors and skills. Pick 3-4 questions that spark your interest.

Focusing on words spoken to you by specific people in your life, whose words inspired you when you were defeated? What were those words and how did they help you? What words of inspiration are you most likely to give others?  Plan to speak for 2-4 minutes.
