"The indications are that swearing preceded the development of cursing. That is, expletives, maledictions, exclamations, and imprecations of the immediately explosive or vituperative kind preceded the speechmaking and later rituals involved in the deliberate apportioning of the fate of an enemy. Swearing of the former variety is from the lips only, but the latter is from the heart. Damn it! is not that same as Damn you!"
--Ashley Montagu (b. 1905), U.S. anthropologist, social biologist. The Anatomy of Swearing, ch. 3, Macmillan (1967). Hm.  If we would look at it that way, then our answer is that it's the thought that counts. ^Then again, that's the basis of almost anything we say. |
