Why do some words carry more power than others? Is it because the way it sounds? Who it comes from? The actual object it describes?

Yeah, the phrase "The," "Mods," "f**king" and "Suck" are all very powerful words.

Because of the things we associate with that word? Like, the first thing you think about/picture when somebody says ____ defines what that word means to you. For example.... tsunami. For one person it'll simply mean a series of massive waves, but for another, it could bring back all sorts of unpleasant memories and therefore be a much more 'powerful' word to them. |

 Oh hon', I've performed a vagina monologue. 'Twas muy fun-o. Srsly. QUOTE(&/degradanca. @ May 2 2007, 1:15 AM) Because of the things we associate with that word? Like, the first thing you think about/picture when somebody says ____ defines what that word means to you. Yeah, I think there's a lot of emotion behind words that make me that much more powerful. But what about the ones that seem to be powerful for everyone, regardless of past experience.

I think its just culture and how its portrayed in society...it can add to how a person thinks of a word.
I have an explanation in my head haha but I can't really put it into proper words right now.

QUOTE(r o b b i + @ May 2 2007, 7:48 PM) John and Mayer are extremely powerful words to me. John isn't a word, unless you're talking slang for a toilet. Mayer isn't a word period. What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. |

Who is comes from, what they are trying to make it mean, who is it to, what the word is.
