All people know what is hiding under such a term as "obscene word." Unfortunately, we hear strong expressions almost daily, whether we want it or not. On the street, in the store, in transport - abuse can slip anywhere. Unfortunately, not all people think about the purity of our language and clutter it with obscene and obscene words.
Scientific definition
Profanity is almost the same as profanity. You can also call it "unprintable abuse." There are a lot of names - that's just the essence of this does not change. Among more intelligent personalities there is such a definition as obscene vocabulary. There was such an expression from the Latin word "obscene", which in translation into Russian means "immoral". In principle, everything is correct. An obscene word is an element of swear words of various languages, which most often expresses a person’s spontaneous reaction to a situation. In other words, profanity is something that allows you to maximize express your emotions (often negative).
Interesting Facts
It is worth noting that many people notice - after cursing from the heart, it seems to be easier. Is this really so? And what is the reason for this? Well, an obscene word, of course, sounds ugly and indecent, but it has peculiar "magic" properties. Of course, everything is exaggerated, but in general they can be designated as such.
It is interesting that in past centuries there was a belief - in order to get rid of the feeling that an unpleasant person has a psychological effect on you, it is worth scolding him as it should. Any obscene expression will be an assistant in this case, and the stronger - the better. Indeed, obscene vocabulary is different in capacity, expression, it emphasizes very competently (if I may say so in this case). And if a person uses the words belonging to her in some suitable situation, then the truth can become easier for him. In any case, a surge of confidence and adrenaline will work out. So there is some benefit from this, but in no case should you justify it. Anyway, we must remember the purity of our powerful language - it is great and rich, so there is no need to litter it with dirty words.
Eating functions
Many linguists are interested in the impact of the obscene word on society, and are actively studying this topic. As a result of some observations, the functions of using profanity were even determined. The first, and most common, is to increase the emotionality of speech. Also, a decrease in psychological stress (as discussed just above). Of course, the mat is used to humiliate and insult the interlocutor. And to demonstrate their independence and verbal looseness (although this is a very erroneous opinion, because it will not become more beautiful and refined). Still in this way you can show your dismissive attitude to something - for example, to public prohibitions.
Law and order
Naturally, they are trying to fight the spread of profanity in society. For example, a forbidden list of obscene words was even published. Roskomnadzor included four expressions in it. The law stipulates that the abnormal designation of female and male genital organs, girls of easy virtue and the process of intercourse is strictly prohibited, just like all words that can be derived from them.
In the media, the use of such expressions is unacceptable. If they are discovered, then initially Roskomnadzor will issue a warning, and then, in the event of a repeat of such an error, the publication may completely deprive the license. And it is right. After all, the media is the fourth power, which not only provides people with information, but also shapes public opinion and influences the worldview.
