On them tour the controversy, many intellectuals defend with solid arguments; other awarded its use to the poverty of vocabulary. However, and even from points of view faced, the majority recognizes its use in the popular language and everyday.
It said Lao-tse, a wise Chinese philosopher who lived among the 570 bc and 490 ac: "The words elegant are not sincere; the words sincere are not elegant". And not be mistaken… From psychiatric, passing through the references to sexual habits until the long lineage of allusions to the parents, the most people are used in everyday language.
However, still cause some stinging accept them as part of speech. Without go further, ranging from small we reproached the delivery. And so we grow, to the principle defying the elderly voice low and then, in adolescence, repeating every time we can to demonstrate that we are already masters of our own language. Once people, although not always the case, weighs the effort to look after the forms.
Which is free of sin, to cast the first stone. No one can deny its usefulness: they have an expressive force only, serve to download the ira, anger and the calentura (in all respects).
Jorge Luis Borges, in his foreword to his book "Fiction," wrote: "Delirium laborious and impoverishing the composing vast books; the dwell in 500 pages an idea whose perfect oral fits in a few minutes".
What, then, as "bad" are the bad words? Bad refers directly to taboo, something prohibited, which should not even pronounce. And why not called simply vulgar, because in reality the people the uses and much.
This was the starting point for the same president of the Academy Argentina of letters, the doctor Pedro Luis Barcia created a Dictionary of phraseology of spoke argentino, in which included more than 11,000 terms, which include, of more say, a large amount of these famous words.
"I can assure you that now, of all the academies, Argentina is the one with greater contact with the language of the people ?ensures Barcia-. Everything must be dealt with from the scientific point of view, we are not avalándolas in its use, but grant. The people the said."
Then, that means that ceased to be bad? "I would say that never existed ?ensures Barcia?. It is not that there are good or bad words, but that there are good or bad intentions, and proper contexts or not."
That is why, in the novel dictionary almost all of these expressions are placed with a brand that says "vulgar" referred to vulgar. So that it is clear that it is inappropriate zeal delivery in the middle of an academic discourse.
"But watch another curiosity. With a language politically correct are able to say that after throwing a bomb had been 500 casualties collateral. Means that killed large numbers of civilians by a shortcoming in the calculation. This is an utter cynicism, and is much more serious to tell someone the whore you bore. It is trying to cover with a felony verbal an immoral act. What I mean is that what is important is the use of the phrase in context".
The first, very different.
As regards the origins, languages are entities in movement that are transformed as it passes the time. Perhaps an insult very used in the old today have no effect or meaning.
Margarita Espinosa Meneses , professor of the Department of Letters of ITESM Campus Mexico State, explains: "The words of a language suffer processes that can be motivated both by external causes, whether social, psychological or by influences of other languages, such as by internal causes, they need to do with own processes tongue same".
It is difficult to talk about his birth, since all seem to come from different periods and regions. However, a version reads that the origin would in the social classes. The upper class contended that his language was worship, different from that used in the circles more humble.
"Vulgarity was the way to talk about the herd, the working people of ancient Rome ?affirms the narrator oral Marita von Saltzen?. Rudeness comes from bulk, quite the opposite of fine and delicate. While the poor did the work more heavy and rude, the rich performed the tasks fine with their delicate hands".
The curse universal. Some believe that in Argentina, and mainly in Buenos Aires, the rule of insult is a custom constant, which does not respect situations, context or forms.
However, the bad words are not an invention argentine nor an exclusivity porteña. The scientists who are engaged in his study, ensure that the curse is universal. Any language, slang or dialect, and both language alive or dead ever studied, has its taboos, their banned words.
And there are those who, as did the unforgettable Roberto Fontanarrosa in the third International Congress of the Spanish Language in Rosario, that far from to, the majority of the bad words would have to give them an amnesty. "Reconsider their situation, and integrémoslas language because, I assure you, we need".
