Bonus Episode - The Origin of the Word F**k and Why Society Says It's So Bad

from Mysterious Circumstances · host 13 Stars Media | Age Of Radio

Despite the wideness and proliferation of its use in many sections of society, the word fuck remains (and has been for centuries) one of the most taboo words in English. Until relatively recently it rarely appeared in print; even today, there are a number of euphemistic ways of referring to it in speech and writing. In this episode we explore the origin of the word, some of the arguments of why people say it's so bad, and discuss a couple of scientific studies that have been conducted on people who like to swear more than others.

Explicit Murder in Miami iHeartPodcasts In the 1980s crime journalist Phil Stanford dove into the decadent and dangerous world of Miami just as the city was becoming the cocaine- and murder- capital of the United States.
