For example, the "F" word is basically making society mentally lazy in creative language. We immediately resort to this word for everything, mainly because it is short and to the point, albeit somewhat vague at times unless the "finger" is used too, but it is becoming worn out and boring with overuse.
I despair of the days gone by of the creative imagination of cursing someone as it left no room for the imagination. It took a lot of words but you knew what they meant without a doubt.
Example:
May your wife have triplets through another man's seed!
Or
Fxxx you!
Example:
May your child grow up and marry your enemy!
Or
Fxxx off!
See what I mean? The "F" word seems to lose something in translation. The one receiving it could make it into anything they want. In my humble opinion it is just a lazy word for lazy people.
My dad use to say: "say what you mean and mean what you say." Do we really want to fxxx everything or everyone? That sounds more like we are cursing ourselves instead of the other way around.
Food for thought: Could a lazy and uncreative mind also be a curse? What's on your imagination plate today? How about no cursing at all? As you sow, so shall ye reap. It sure makes me wonder with all the cursing going on if this is the major curse of all times.
A lazy mind to mindless one. Hmmmm....
