Sometimes, everyday speech just can't convey your meaning. You need words with a little more oomph — expletives.
有时分，往常用语无法传达你的意思。你需要更有气势的一些词——脏话。
For the sake of knowledge though, we looked into the etymology of a few of these words. Learn where they originated below。
为了学习常识，咱们探寻了一有些咒骂语的词源。下面来晓得一下它们的来历。
The "F" Bomb
The oldest theories trace the expletive-to-end-all-expletives back to Norwegian fukka and Swedish focka, both meaning "to copulate."
关于这个完爆一切其他咒骂语的词最早可以追溯到挪威语fukka和瑞典语focka，都是“交配”的意思。
Unfortunately, we don't have much evidence of use in English, partly because the original Oxford English Dictionary's creators reportedly considered it taboo. The OED's second edition, however, cites "fukkit" in 1503, but the earliest current spelling appears as "Bischops ... may f*** thair fill and be vnmaryit" from poet Sir David Lyndesay in 1535.
意外的是，咱们在英语(课程)里并没有发现这个词运用的根由，有些缘由传闻是牛津英语词典的开始编写者认为这个词是忌讳。可是，牛津英语词典第二版在1503年引证了"fukkit"。可是，这个词的拼写最早呈如今1535年，诗人Sir David Lyndesay写道："Bischops ... may f*** thair fill and be vnmaryit."
The "S" Word
Here, we actually have two words and two separate origins to consider: the noun and the verb。
在此，咱们其实要思考两个单词和两个不一样的来历：名词和动词。
The noun nods to Old English scitte, meaning "purging, diarrhea." And just the basic form of excrement stems from Old English scytel. The action, however, has a much more widespread history — Dutch schijten and German scheissen. The Proto-Indo-European base skie conveys the idea of separation, in this case, from the body。
名词来自古英语scitte，意为“净化、拉肚子。”只不过是从古英语scitte来历的根柢分泌物方法。可是，这个行为有更广泛的前史——荷兰语schijten和德语scheissen。这个初始印欧语系词在这儿，传达的意义是与身体的别离。
Piss
Again, English includes two forms of this word, a noun and verb. The verb appeared in the 1300s from French pissier, "to urinate," and vulgar Latin, "pissiare." The noun came later, in the 1400s, and eventually morphed into an intensifying adjective — piss-poor, piss-ugly, etc. — around World War II。
同上，英语中这个词有两种方法，名词和动词。动词是在14世纪来历于法语pissier"小便"和浅显拉丁语"pissiare" 。名词呈现于15世纪，要晚一些，最终在二战前后演化成一个剧烈的描述词——比方说piss-poor(极端贫穷的)、 piss-ugly(极端丑陋的)等等。
Goddamn
Obviously a compound word of "God" and "damn." "Damn" comes from Latin damnare which means "to condemn." And God originated with Norse goth. But when and how did we put the two together as a blasphemy?
这显着是一个由"God" 和 "damn"构成的组成词。"Damn"是来历于拉丁文damnare，意思是“呵斥"。God 来历于北欧歌特。可是，咱们是啥时分以及怎么把这两个词联系起来作为亵渎神明的言词呢？
Let's thank the French for that. They started referring to the English as "les goddems" during the Hundred Years War because of their frequent profanity, according to Geoffrey Hughes' book, "A Social History of Foul Language, Oaths, and Profanity in English."
咱们大约谢谢法国人。根据杰弗里·休斯的作品《英国充溢鄙言秽语、咒骂、亵渎”的社会前史》，他们在百年战争时刻初步用"les goddems"描述英国人，因为他们常常亵渎神灵。
Hell
Our word for the worst possible place (religious or not) comes from Proto-Germanic haljo, "the underworld." Some relationship also exists between "cell" and "hell" through the Proto-Indo-European word for "to cover" or "conceal" — kel。
咱们用来描述可以呈现的最坏的世界(不管是不是与宗教有关)的词来历于初始日耳曼语haljo——“阴间”。 "cell" 和 "hell"还在原印欧语词存在某些联络，意为“掩盖”或“躲藏”。
Interestingly enough, the Biblical use of hell may stem from Old Norse Hel, the name of Loki's daughter in Norse mythology. She rules over the evil dead much like Hades does in Greek tales。
风趣的是，圣经对阴间的用法可以来历于古斯堪的纳维亚语Hel，北欧神话中Loki的女儿的名字。就像希腊传说中的哈德斯，她控制着凶暴的去世魂灵。
Bitch
Almost everyone knows a bitch is a female dog, probably from Old Norse bikkjuna. Its use as a term of contempt to women, though, began in the 1400s。
几乎一切人都晓得bitch 是一条母狗。这可以源自古斯堪的纳维亚语bikkjuna。可是，直到15世纪，它才初步被用来鄙视妇女。
The word is first seen used this way in the Chester Plays of the 1400s. "Who callest thou queine, skabde bitch?" Basically, "Who are you calling a whore, you miserable bitch?”
这个词初度这么用是在15世纪的切斯特剧。"Who callest thou queine, skabde bitch?"大致意思是“你个死婊子，你叫谁贱人呢？”
The verb, meaning "to complain," evolved as late at the 1930s。
动词用法直到20世纪30年代才呈现，意为?呖唷薄
