History of Swear Words

Season 1
  1. Watch F**k. Episode 1 of Season 1.

    The silly putty of the English language, our most malleable swear word can refer to sex, rage, confusion, excitement and a whole lot more.

  2. Watch Sh*t. Episode 2 of Season 1.

    With medieval roots as a term for excrement, this filthy vulgarity evolved over time into something much more versatile — and sometimes even positive.

  3. Watch Bitch. Episode 3 of Season 1.

    Though it literally means "female dog," in recent years, some women have started to reclaim the "B word" as a term of strength and solidarity.

  4. Watch D**k. Episode 4 of Season 1.

    You can have one or you can be one. But how did an unassuming nickname for "Richard" become one of our most popular swear words?

  5. Watch Pu**y. Episode 5 of Season 1.

    From its feline origins to its modern slang uses describing genitalia or insulting manhood, learn how "pu**y" has stood the test of time.

  6. Watch Damn. Episode 6 of Season 1.

    Though quite mild when compared with its profane brethren, "damn" has maintained its meaning from biblical times and can still pack a punch even today.
