There's a McWhorter podcast on Lexicon Valley--can't find it now but he interviews a guy who specializes in cross cultural profanities A bit they breeze through is variation in what's seen as genuinely *profane* over time and space Major divisions are sex, shit, and slurs

Oh man, I really need to listen to this podcast. I think there was a study and these "worst" ones were almost always male-driven, right?

UM! I don't think they covered that but I believe it They do talk a lot elsewhere about how language conventions tend to emerge from women more often than from men but I can imagine men and women just innovate on different fronts, statistically

US used to be more of a sex culture But now the words most tightly regulated socially are related to ethnicity and similar Probably worth mulling a long while, this seems likely to mean something
