“Swearing is something that's done all across the world (and undoubtedly on Qo'noS and other worlds too) and this podcast gives a very interesting insight into where rude words in various languages (but mainlm English) originate.”Read full review »

“There’s more to a cuss word than expected. People have even done research on the subject. Not for the faint of heart if cussing offends you. Obviously.”

“It's very cool that *someone* has put together details of these things. I've always wondered about etymology of some of the "big ones". Has all that and more. Things like how C* used to be a powerful, positive thing and the old stories you heard about how F*CK is an acronym are...”Read full review »

“Not a topic I would have expected to be fascinated by but this one has me hooked. Credit due to Matt who really produces amazingly entertaining and informative episodes. I especially loved the foreign language episode and, in fact, went back to listen to it again. That's awesome stuff.”Read full review »

“It's a neat podcast but you really shouldn't take everything here as fact due to it pushing a specific viewpoint.
The big one is a bit on why mf (and other mother related swears) is such a powerful curse. The episode does a shpiel about why mothers are sacred and how it's a insult...”Read full review »

“This podcast is fantastic. The critical analysis on why some words are bad, how they got that way, and our reactions - and overreactions - to those bad words is engaging and a pleasure to listen to. Keep them coming!”

“I’ve never been in the habit of using profanity, but I love words and their etymology. This podcast is fascinating, thought provoking and often hilarious. My new favorite thing is to integrate diseases into my insults! Listen and find out why, TyphoidTwits!”

“I used to cringe when people would curse in public and my friends thought it was so weird. I don't know why, probably my catholic upbringing.
