DON’T… TALK DIRTY

About the verbal vulgarity and etiquette that society puts on you

Whether we are on the street, in a mall, in a place of recreation, close to friends, or even in the professional circle, we often hear so-called swear words or other vulgar expressions, unworthy of example in this article.

Although in public places, when we hear such expressions, we tend to ignore them, often blaming the precarious education of those who use them, from close people or with whom we interact frequently, the claims are or should be or others.

The saddest thing is that we hear insulting or vulgar words and expressions from notorious people, who are in elitist circles and who often have a high level of culture.

Many of these expressions are not necessarily used with the intent to offend or degrade, but often conceal the speaker’s frustration with failure. The hilarious part is that although the vast majority of foreign cultures have their own “profile” expressions, they are quite conservative in borrowing jargon from other languages. Instead, Romanians are inventive in this regard, as they not only frequently update vulgar language with new expressions, but also borrow new ones from different languages.

Probably a factor as to why they’re doing so poorly. The gain is probably zero or maybe at most it attracts an insignificant quantitative audience, not to mention qualitative. As for losses, we can review a few:

  • Loss of femininity and grace.
  • Regardless of the level of culture or education, those around you will perceive that as long as you cannot replace vulgar language with a clear and concise explanation, that your intelligence leaves much to be desired.
  • Lack of decency and respect for both oneself and one’s interlocutor

Men tend to use vulgar language especially to show their superiority. But if we look closely, we will soon see that it hides vulnerable, weak temperaments that tend to hide certain inner problems.

A simple exercise to improve your language and especially the perception of those around you would be to revise your vocabulary whenever you tend to use such vulgar expressions. If you are so upset or annoyed by your interlocutor, at least try to be decent if not polite to them.

And because the claims should apply in the opposite direction, draw the attention of people who use vulgar language around you whenever you deem it necessary.

And don’t forget! Always think that using vulgar language will not only contribute to the degradation of one’s public image in one form or another, but also to the loss of moral values that you should strongly believe in.
