100 swear words. What did Russian swear words originally mean?

RUSSIAN MAT

Every person in Russia from the very beginning early childhood begins to hear words that he calls obscene, obscene, obscene. Even if a child grows up in a family where they don’t use swear words, he still hears it on the street, becomes interested in the meaning of these words, and pretty soon his peers explain it to him swear words and expressions. In Russia, attempts have been made repeatedly to combat the use of obscene words and fines have been introduced for swearing in public places, but to no avail. There is an opinion that swearing in Russia flourishes due to the low cultural level of the population, but I can name many names of highly cultured people of the past and present, who belonged and belong to the most highly intelligent and cultural elite and at the same time - great swearers in everyday life and not They avoid swearing in their works. I do not justify them and do not encourage everyone to use swear words. God forbid! I am categorically against swearing in public places, against the use of obscene words in works of art, and especially on television. However, swearing exists, lives and is not going to die, no matter how much we protest against its use. And there is no need to be hypocrites and close your eyes, we need to study this phenomenon both from the psychological side and from the point of view of linguistics.

I started collecting, studying and interpreting swear words as a student in the sixties. Protecting me PhD thesis was carried out in such secrecy, as if it were about the latest nuclear research, and immediately after the defense, the dissertation went into the special storage facilities of libraries. Later, in the seventies, when I was preparing my doctoral dissertation, I needed to clarify some words, and I was unable to obtain my own dissertation from the Lenin Library without special permission from the authorities. This was the case quite recently, when, as in the famous joke, everyone pretended to know diamat, although no one knew it, but everyone knew mate, but pretended not to know it.

Currently, every second writer uses obscene words in his works, we hear swear words from the television screen, but still for several years not a single publishing house to which I offered to publish a scientific explanatory dictionary of swear words decided to publish it. And only abridged and adapted for a wide range of readers, the dictionary saw the light of day.

To illustrate the words in this dictionary, I widely used folklore: obscene jokes, ditties that have long lived among the people, were often used, but were published in recent years, as well as quotes from the works of classics of Russian literature from Alexander Pushkin to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Many quotes are taken from the poems of Sergei Yesenin, Alexander Galich, Alexander Tvardovsky, Vladimir Vysotsky and other poets. Of course, I could not do without the works of Ivan Barkov, without “Russian Treasured Tales” by A. I. Afanasyev, without folk obscene songs, poems and poems, without modern writers such as Yuz Aleshkovsky and Eduard Limonov. A treasure trove for researchers of Russian swearing is the cycle of hooligan novels by Pyotr Aleshkin, which are almost entirely written in obscene words. I could illustrate this dictionary only with quotations from his works.

The dictionary is intended for a wide range of readers: for those interested in swear words, for literary editors, for translators from Russian, etc.

In this dictionary, I did not indicate in what environment the word functions: whether it refers to criminal slang, youth slang or the slang of sexual minorities, because the boundaries between them are quite fluid. There are no words that are used in one environment. I also indicated only the obscene meaning of the word, leaving other, ordinary meanings outside it.

And one last thing. You are holding in your hands the explanatory dictionary “Russian swearing”! Remember that it contains only swearing, obscene, obscene words. You won't meet anyone else!

7.8. Russian character Once a writer from Russia came to New York and participated in one of the many programs on local television. Of course, the presenter asked him about the mysterious Russian soul and Russian character. The writer illustrated this as follows:

Annotation

Russian ballet, Russian caviar, Russian vodka, Russian swearing. Which of these national treasures has not become scarce in recent years? Only the fourth and to some extent the third.

And about the fifth - about Russian literature - there is nothing to remember. Unless - in connection with the holiday of foul language on printed pages.

Mat is the most expressive area of ​​the Russian language. Our “three-letter” ones jokingly beat the English “four-letter” ones. They say respectfully about a person: “Talentedly swears!”

Politicians and military leaders, writers and artists, bankers and businessmen swear. Only in a criminal environment are other curse words accepted - innocent to the uninitiated ear.

The new large dictionary of obscenities is not the first publication of its kind, but the most complete and original. It is original, in particular, in that the author of the dictionary managed to mercilessly ridicule in print all the predecessor dictionaries published both in Russia and abroad.

Well, the flag is in his hands!

"And it's all about him"

(“Hui”: Phenomenology, anthropology, metaphysics, pragmasemantics)

0. Introductory remarks

"Dick" is the most important object in human life, starting from early childhood, as well as in the history of human relations, culture, science, art and philosophy - and accordingly the most important word in the language (even if it is not actually pronounced). The present study will mainly be devoted to substantiating this thesis.

1. Castration and phallus

One of the most important discoveries of psychoanalysis (the first devotees of which at the beginning of our century were just as accused by ordinary people of frivolity, immorality, depravity, etc. (see about this in detail, for example, the biography of Freud [Jones 1998]), as they were at the end of the century Vladimir Sorokin, Viktor Erofeev, Oleg Kulik, Alexander Brener are accused of the same thing, and as, of course, the author of this book will also be accused) there was the discovery of several fundamental facts regarding the subject of our research (here we must apologize to the enlightened part of our readers for several paragraphs psychoanalytic educational program, without which we will not be able to move forward in the study of what we are talking about). The point is that, as Freud showed, small child, whether boy or girl, believes that all people are or should be endowed with a penis.

In 1908, in the article “On the Theory of Infantile Sexuality,” Freud wrote: “Already in childhood, the penis is the leading erogenous zone and the main autoerotic about...

Some people don't swear at all. Someone inserts abuse through a word. Most people use strong words at least sometimes. What is Russian swearing and where did it come from?

Russian swearing has a rich history

Attention! The text contains profanity.

The notorious social opinion does not allow you to study the good old mat. This is what most researchers who choose such a difficult path complain about. Therefore, there is very little literature about swearing.

One of the mysteries of Russian profanity is the origin of the word “mat” itself. According to one hypothesis, “mate” originally means “voice.” That is why phrases like “shouting obscenities” have come down to us. However, the generally accepted version reduces the word “mate” to “mother”, therefore - “swear at mother”, “send to hell” and so on.
Another problem with swearing is the impossibility of compiling an accurate list of swear words, because some native speakers highlight certain words as obscene, others do not. This is the case, for example, with the word “gondon”. However, typical swear words come from only four to seven roots.

It is known that different peoples have different “reserves” of mating, which can be elevated to different spheres. Russian swearing, like the swearing of many other cultures, is tied to the sexual sphere. But this is not the case among all nations, since there are a number of cultures where everything related to sex is in no way taboo. For example, among the indigenous population of New Zealand - the Maori people. One of the tribes - the ancestor of the Maoritans - quite “officially” bore the name “Ure Vera”, which translated means “hot penises” or “hot penis”. In European culture, the sphere of swearing, by the way, is also not necessarily associated with sexual relations. If you look at Germanic languages, then it will become clear that many curses there are related to bowel movements.

The basis of Russian obscene vocabulary, as in many other languages, is the so-called “obscene triad”: the male genital organ (“x.y”), the female genital organ (p..da), and the verb describing the process of copulation (“e ..t"). It is interesting that the Russian language is characterized by a complete lack of designation for these words by literary native Russian terms. They are replaced either by bare Latin and medical soulless equivalents, or by emotional ones - swear words.

In addition to the obscene triad, the Russian swear word is also characterized by the word “bl.d” - the only one that does not mean genitals and copulation, but comes from the Slavic damn, which translated into Russian means “fornication – error, error, sin.” In Church Slavonic the word “bl..stvovat” means “to lie, deceive, slander.”

Also popular are “m..de” (male testicles), “man.a” (female genitalia) and “e.da” (male genitalia).

The above seven lexemes famous explorer Russian swearing Alexey Plutser-Sarno proposes to take Russian swearing as the basis for the concept, citing, however, another 35 roots that survey participants considered obscene (among them, by the way, such words as “eat” and “vomit”).

Despite the very limited number of roots, Russian swearing is characterized by a simply gigantic number of derivative words. In addition to existing ones, new ones are constantly emerging. Thus, researcher V. Raskin gives a far from complete list of derivatives from the word “e..t” (verbs only): e..nut, e..nutsya, e..tsya, e.izdit, e.nut, e. to.be, to.be, to..fuck, to.fuck, to.be.to.be, to.fuck, to.be, to.forget, to.forget, to.fuck, to.be, to.fuck, to.fuck , about..fuck, about..fuck, stop.en, from..fuck, from..fuck, over.fuck, over.fuck, f.fuck, fuck.fuck, under..fuck, under..fuck , kick..knock, raz..knock, raz..bang, s..knock, s..happen, s..knock, fuck..bang, etc.

No one knows for sure where the Russian swear word came from. The once popular hypothesis that we got it “from the Mongol-Tatar yoke” (“Tatar version”) was completely refuted with the discovery of Novgorod birch bark letters of the 12th-13th centuries. It was not possible to blame it on the yoke. This is understandable, because obscene language is, in one way or another, characteristic, apparently, of all languages ​​of the world.

But there are other versions. Two of them are basic. The first is that Russian swearing is associated with erotic pagan rituals, which played an important role in agricultural magic. Second - swear words in Rus' once had different meaning, for example, double. But over time, one of the meanings was supplanted, or they were merged together, turning the meaning of the word into a negative one.

Everyone knows what Russian swearing is. Someone will be able to reproduce the Cossack swear word by heart, while others will have to turn to the famous “Dictionary of Russian Swearing” by Alexey Plutser-Sarno to clarify the meaning. However, for many, the history of the emergence of Russian swearing remains a mystery behind seven seals. How swearing is connected to Indo-European mythology, who is meant by “mother” in the swear language and why only men used to communicate in it - in the T&P material.

“The mythological aspect of Russian expressive phraseology”

B.A. Uspensky

Works by B.A. Uspensky, shedding light on the origin of Russian swearing, have become classic. Exploring this topic, Uspensky mentions its extreme taboo nature, in connection with which in the literary tradition only “Church Slavonicisms such as copulate, penis, reproductive organ, aphedron, seat” can be considered permissible. Unlike many Western European languages, other “folk” obscene vocabulary in the Russian language is actually taboo. That is why swear words were removed from Dahl’s dictionary, the Russian edition of Vasmer’s “Etymological Dictionary”, and Afanasyev’s fairy tales; even in academic collections of Pushkin’s works, obscene expressions in works of art and letters are replaced with ellipses; “Barkov’s Shadow”, known for its abundance of swear words (for example: Already the night with the *** [lustful] moon / Already the *** [fallen woman] in the downy bed / Falling asleep with the monk) was not published at all in many collections essays. Such a taboo of swearing, which affects even professional philologists, is connected, according to Uspensky, with “the chastity of censors or editors,” and Dostoevsky even speaks of the chastity of everything Russian people, justifying the abundance of swear words in the Russian language by the fact that, in essence, they do not always mean something bad.

Images of peasants from the 12th–14th centuries: a peasant at work; resting peasant; games

Indeed, swearing can serve as a friendly greeting, approval, and expression of love. If it is so polysemantic, then the question arises: where did swearing come from, what are its historical roots? Uspensky's theory suggests that swearing once had cult functions. To prove this, we can cite examples of swear words and expressions from Russian pagan wedding or agricultural rituals, in which swearing could be associated with fertility cults. It is interesting that the Russian philologist Boris Bogaevsky compares Russian swearing with the Greek foul language of farmers. The Christian tradition prohibits swearing in rituals and everyday life, citing the fact that “shameful barking” defiles the soul, and that “Hellenic...words” [verbiage] is a demonic game. The ban on Russian “shaming”, that is, obscene language, was directly related to the struggle of Orthodoxy against the pagan cults in which it was used. The meaning of the ban becomes especially clear in view of the fact that swearing “in some cases turns out to be functionally equivalent to prayer.” In pagan thinking, it was possible to find a treasure, get rid of illness or the machinations of the brownie and goblin with the help of swearing. Therefore, in Slavic dual faith one could often find two parallel options: either read a prayer in front of the attacking devil, or swear at him. Finding the roots of Russian swearing in pagan ritual spells and curses, Uspensky connects the so-called main formula of Russian swearing (“*** your mother”) with the archaic cult of the earth.

Only one person will be elected once a day in obscenity, -

The mother of cheese the earth will shake,

The Most Holy Theotokos will be removed from the throne

In connection with the dual-faith Slavic ideas about the “three mothers” - the earth mother, the Mother of God and the native - swearing, aimed at insulting the addressee’s mother, simultaneously conjures sacred mothers, desecrating the maternal principle itself. In this one can find echoes of pagan metaphors about the pregnancy of the earth and copulation with it; at the same time, this can explain the belief that the earth opens up under a swearing word or that swearing can disturb the ancestors (lying in the ground).

Having clarified the object of the obscene formula, Uspensky moves on to the subject: analyzing the forms of the expression “*** your mother,” he comes to the conclusion that previously the phrase was not impersonal. The desecration was carried out by a dog, as evidenced by older and more complete references to the swear formula: for example, “So that the dog takes your mother.” The dog has been the subject of action in this formula since at least the 15th century in many Slavic languages; Thus, “dog barking,” as swearing has been called since ancient times, is associated with the mythology of the dog, “given by the dog.” The uncleanness of the dog is an ancient category that preceded Slavic mythology, but also reflected in later Christian ideas (for example, in the stories about the Pseglavians or the transfiguration of the Cynocephalus Christopher). The dog was compared to a Gentile, since both have no soul, both behave inappropriately; It was for the same reason that confessors were not allowed to keep dogs. From an etymological point of view, the dog is also unclean - Uspensky connects the lexeme “dog” with other words of Indo-European languages, including the Russian word “***” [female genital organ].

Thus, Uspensky suggests that the images of the desecrating dog and the earth mother in the phrase “f***ing dog” go back to the mythological marriage of the thunderer and the earth mother. The sacred marriage, during which the earth is fertilized, is desecrated in this formula by the travesty replacement of the Thunderer with a dog, his mythological rival. Therefore, an obscene phrase becomes a blasphemous spell, desecrating the divine cosmogony. In a later folk tradition this myth is reduced, and mother earth becomes the mother of the interlocutor, and the mythological dog becomes an ordinary dog, and then the phrase is completely depersonalized (the verb “***” [enter into sexual relations] can correspond to any singular person).

At a deep (initial) level, the obscene expression is apparently correlated with the myth of sacred marriage heaven and earth - marriage, the result of which is the fertilization of the earth. At this level, the god of the sky, or the thunderer, should be understood as the subject of action in obscene terms, and mother earth as the object. This explains the connection between swearing and the idea of ​​fertilization, which manifests itself in particular in ritual wedding and agrarian foul language.

“About swearing, emotions and facts”

A.A. Belyakov

A.A. Belyakov, referring to the legends of Russian folklore, traces the origin of swearing to the myth of the “Slavic Oedipus”: once a man killed his father and desecrated his mother. Then he gave the “obscene formula” to his descendants - in order to use it to bring curses of the ancestors on opponents or to call on the ancestors for help. Belyakov agrees that the deeper roots of this legend are in early pagan cults associated with the veneration of “the mother of damp earth and the idea of ​​​​fertilization.”

“Obscene joke as a modeling system”

I.G. Yakovenko

I.G. Yakovenko, in his article on swearing, notes that traditional culture, patriarchal in nature, tends to profane the role of women. It is this motive that we see in obscene formulas - they are almost always associated with crude images of violence against women. Yakovenko contrasts the “sign of the highest danger” (“…” [female genital organ], the feminine principle) with the male phallus, the “protector sign,” citing as an example many obscene expressions. As it turns out, there are much fewer women’s obscene formulas than men’s; Moreover, the female paradigm is tinged with something wretched, false, related to misfortune, theft, lies (“..." [end], "..." [steal], "..." [liar]), while the male The swearing paradigm refers to taboo or danger. The harmful character of a woman perceived through female symbol, vagina, is emphasized in numerous proverbs and sayings, fairy tales and legends: we can recall those cited by V.Ya. Proppom's idea of ​​a "toothy vulva" with which the male hero had to fight.

Russian swearing is a form of existence of pagan consciousness in a monotheistic culture

Subsequently, the tradition of speaking obscene language passed from pagan cults into Russian buffoonery, which the state actively fought against starting from the 17th century. From the almost extinct buffoons, however, the tradition passed on to lubok, tavern songs, parsley theater, to fair barkers and so on. The taboo vocabulary of the patriarchal and pagan period of Russian culture continued to live in slightly different forms.

“Russian swearing as a male obscene code: the problem of origin and evolution of status”

V.Yu. Mikhailin

In the work of V.Yu. Mikhailina’s tradition of linking the genesis of Russian swearing to fertility cults is disputed; Despite the fact that Mikhailin largely agrees with Uspensky, he offers a significant refinement of his theory and examines the history of swearing from pagan cults to modern hazing. The connection between the theory of the “main myth” of Toporov and Ivanov with the mythological enemy of the Thunderer, the dog, does not suit him: “I will allow myself one single question. For what reason is the eternal opponent of the Thunderer, whose traditional iconography presupposes, first of all, not canine, but serpentine incarnations, precisely in this context takes the form of a dog, and takes it invariably and formulaically?”

Fertile land, according to the author, could not be associated with masculine in archaic: this is a purely female territory. On the contrary, the purely male territory was considered to be that which had to do with hunting and war, a marginal space in which a good husband and family man is ready to shed blood and rob, and a decent young man, who does not dare to look up at the neighbor’s girl, rapes the enemy’s daughters.

Mikhailin suggests that in such territories, swearing was once associated with the magical practices of male military alliances identifying themselves with “dogs.” That is why swearing was also called “dog barking”: symbolically, warriors were the embodiment of wolves or dogs. This can also explain the fact that until recently, swearing was predominantly a male language code.

In Indo-European culture, every man underwent initiation, one way or another accompanied by a period that can be designated as the “dog” stage. A “dog” warrior living outside the home zone, in marginal territory, exists outside the culture of the hearth and agriculture. He is not full-fledged, not mature, has “combat rage”, part of which can be called the use of unacceptable swear words at home. “Wolves” and “dogs” have no place on human territory, for which their mere presence can be fraught with desecration: the corresponding norms and forms of behavior are strictly taboo, and their bearers, without undergoing purification rites and thereby turning from “wolves” back into people do not have basic civil rights. They, by definition, are carriers of the chthonic principle, they are magically dead and as such simply “do not exist.”

Thus, the formula “*** your mother” in male “dog” unions was a spell that magically destroyed the opponent. Such a spell symbolically compared the opponent to the son of a chthonic being, identified his mother with a bitch, and brought him into extremely marginal, non-human territory where such coitus could occur. Consequently, all swear words imply dog ​​genitals and animal coitus, which has nothing in common with the human one that occurs in home space and framed by ritual tradition and other signs of culture.

Subsequently, the purely male nature of swearing in Russia is transferred to a more general context. Since the revolutionary events of 1917, the language paradigm has undergone great changes. Swearing, along with Newspeak, becomes one of the means of communication of the patriarchal (albeit outwardly anti-sexist) elite. The Soviet camps also played a role, as did the increased interest in the exploitation of female labor - including in army structures, where swearing directly inherited the communication function of archaic male unions. Therefore, soon the taboo of swearing in a female or mixed environment ceased to be strong, and then became a thing of the past. The male obscene code has become universal.

Let's figure out where this infectious thing came from. The mystical origins of such a phenomenon as swearing go back to the pagan past. To protect themselves from the attacks of the demonic world, people of the pre-Christian era contacted it.

Where did the mats come from?

The spells that were addressed to pagan idols consisted of their names. And it was precisely during that period of time that the cult of fertility was widespread. Thus, most mats are associated with the genitals of a man and a woman.

The Slavs were also familiar with swearing. For example, swear word girls lung behavior “b...” is found on Novgorod notes and birch bark documents of the 12th century. It just meant something completely different. The meaning of the word was the name of a demon with whom only sorcerers communicated. According to ancient beliefs, this demon punished sinners by sending them a disease, which is now called “uterine rabies.”

Another word, the verb “e...”, is of Slavic origin, and is translated as to curse.

The rest of the swear words are names pagan gods, or demonic names. When a person swears, he calls demons on himself, his family, his clan.

Thus, swearing is an appeal to demons, only it consists of spells and names of certain demons. The history of swearing shows this.

In other words, swearing is the language of communication with demons.

The effect of swearing on human health

Let’s just give 6 facts about the influence of swearing:

1. The effect of swearing on DNA

Human words can be represented in the form of electromagnetic vibrations, which directly affect the properties and structure of DNA molecules responsible for heredity. If a person uses swear words day after day, a “negative program” begins to be developed in DNA molecules and they are significantly modified. Scientists say: a “dirty” word causes a mutagenic effect similar to radiation exposure.

Swear words have a negative effect on the genetic code of the person swearing, are written in it, and become a curse for the person himself and his heirs.

2. Swear words travel along different nerve endings than ordinary words.

There is an observation by doctors that people suffering from paralysis, with a complete lack of speech, express themselves exclusively in obscenities. Although at the same time he is unable to say either “Yes” or “No”. At first glance, the phenomenon, although very strange, says a lot. Why does a completely paralyzed person exclusively utter obscenities? Is it really of a different nature than ordinary words?

3. The influence of the mat on water. Scientific experiment.

Sprouting technology has long been used in biology and agriculture.

The water is treated by some means, and the wheat grains are treated with this water.

Three types of words were used:

  1. Prayer "Our Father"
  2. Household mat, which is used for speech communication
  3. The mat is aggressive, with clearly expressed expression.

After a certain time, the number of sprouted grains and the length of the sprouts are checked.

On the second day

  1. 93% of the grains sprouted in the control batch
  2. In a batch of grains processed by prayer - 96% of grains. And the longest sprouts, up to 1 cm.
  3. In the batch treated with household mat - 58% grains
  4. The expressive mat had such an effect that only 49% of the grains grew. The length of the sprouts is uneven and mold has appeared.

Scientists believe that the appearance of mold is the result of the strong negative impact of mats on water.

After a while.

  1. The influence of household swearing - only 40% of sprouted grains remained
  2. The effect of the expressive mat - only 15% of sprouted grains remained.

Seedlings placed in water treated with a mat indicate that this environment is not suitable for them.

Humans are 80% water. Draw your own conclusions, friends.

Here is a video proof of this experiment.

4. Swear words very often come out of people from whom demons are cast out.

This is recognized by all confessions: from Orthodox to Protestants.

For example, an Orthodox priest, Father Sergius, writes: “The so-called swearing is the language of communication with demonic forces. It is no coincidence that this phenomenon is called infernal vocabulary. Infernal means hellish, from the underworld.” It is very easy to be convinced that swearing is a demonic phenomenon. Go to Russian Orthodox church during the report. And take a close look at the person who is being chastised with prayer. He will moan, scream, struggle, growl, and the like. And the worst thing is that they swear a lot...

Thanks to science, it has been proven that because of swearing, not only a person’s morality suffers, but also his health!

Ivan Belyavsky is one of the first scientists to put forward this theory. He believes that every swearing is an energy charge that negatively affects human health.

It has already been proven that swearing comes from the sacred names of the gods. The word "mate" means "strength". A destructive force that affects a person’s DNA and destroys him from the inside, especially women and children.

5. Swear words have a detrimental effect on women

Abuse of swear words is detrimental to a woman’s hormonal levels. Her voice becomes low, testosterone is in excess, fertility decreases, and the disease hirsutism appears...

6. The influence of swear words on a person in countries where there is no abuse against the reproductive organs.

Another very interesting fact. In countries where there is no swearing indicating the reproductive organ, cerebral palsy and Down syndromes have not been found. But in the CIS countries these diseases exist. Unfortunately…

How to get rid of the influence of swearing?

You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

We have already proven the origin of swear words. Considered scientific experiment. But the purpose of this series and the “Word of Encouragement” project is to encourage, to help overcome every vice that binds a person.

Here we will give a recipe for liberation from swear words, which is tested on personal experience. Just 5 simple steps.

Recognize

It is very important to recognize that swear words are a vice that has a destructive effect on a person. It is to admit, not to resist.

Repent

Warm repentance before God is very important.

He is the Lord, He knows everything. And He will help, but first just repent of the fact that this dirty language came out of your mouth.

Accept yourself as a new creation

If you have prayed the prayer of repentance, then you have become a new creation, a child of Almighty God. Before that, every person is a sinner, a product of the devil.

Many in the world say “Why reject swearing - it’s normal!” It's ok if you sinful man. And if you repented before God and asked for forgiveness of your sins, you have already become a new creation.

And you need to accept it

The Word of God says:

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the ancient has passed away, now everything is new.

Start to think well of yourself, to think of yourself as God’s beloved child, as the one for whom the Lord gave His Son.

Trust God. You have become different inside.

Eph.5:8 You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light,

Believe that words are capsules filled with power.

That's essentially what this series is all about. What we say is what we have.

But you, if you have already cursed, need to accept it again. Your swearing produced one effect in your life.

Now you need your words to bring good.

Col.4:6 Let your word always be with grace

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt talk come out of your mouth, but only that which is good for edification of the faith, so that it may bring grace to those who hear.

This means that every time you open your mouth, ask God for wisdom, so that your words bring grace and benefit to those listening.

Dedicate your mouth, your tongue to God.

This is not just a resolution: “I’m quitting swearing since the New Year.”

It is a decision that your mouth belongs to the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. And with your lips you will only bless God and His creation.

James 3:9-10 With it we bless God the Father, and with it we curse men, created in the likeness of God. From the same lips comes blessing and curse: it should not be so, my brethren.

If you dedicate your mouth to God, it will not be easy. But even when you stumble, remember that the word of God says “it must not happen.” God does not give impossible tasks. If it is written in His Word, then it is real. And this means that it is possible to live in such a way as not to utter curses and swear words against loved ones.

Word of Encouragement

I want to end in a very good place.

Remember that you will give an account for every word. And if you say a lot of good things into the lives of your loved ones, bless your wife/husband, children, parents, employees - God will bring these words to judgment. And from these words you will be justified. So says the Word of God

Matthew 12:36-37 But I tell you that for every idle word that people speak, they will give an answer on the day of judgment: 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
