my 2nd grade teacher sent people to the office for saying "what the" for whatever reason
"Schizo" is definitely on its way to being a regular insult
Yeah and it’s really unfortunate too. Obviously being schizophrenic isn’t a healthy thing at all, but straight up demonizing the existence of schizophrenic people is not helping them in the slightest. It only serves to further isolate and vilify them. It makes me so sad :(
so is trash and mental. This video was made 10 years ago and it's all fulfilling now lol
@@HS-mn6jc In my opinion, it really is rude to refer to someone as simply "Schizo", as in "The schizo over there" or "That guy's a schizo."
I learned english as a teen on the internet, and to me curse words have no weight, I curse all the time, it's what I learned from let's plays lol. As opposed to my native language, when I hear a curse word in Spanish I feel a physical reaction, it feels so much more intense, like it has more weight and aggression, since I learned them as a child and I was told not to use them.
May I present to you the minivan known as
Laputa
That is simply from the language difference, and how they are used in sentences, and when they are used.
English is kind of like a native language for me and curse words have no weight to me lol. I use them sm on the Internet to emphasize stuff. It's only irl I don't fucking use them coz many ppl around me wouldn't like that.

Zeo, you know what’s scary, the fact that the words he said that will be used more often 2 of them are being used more and more frequently, depressed and metal and words to describe a person who is unstable, therefore making them “swear words”.

??'badder/est' 'gooder/est' etc are used to accentuate that there is something 'less good/bad', especially on the web, it's not a big deal

This is the first Vsauce video i watched.
And it was already 10 years old.
This is by far the best video I've found regarding the education of swearing with practical applications. Personally, I love swearing with intention or when injury occurs. Now that I have babies, I was concerned about the implications of my own swear use and noticed most videos educate while simultaneously shaming those who choose differently from them. They claim with such conviction that if you swear it's primarily because you are unintelligent or other derogatory labels which I find more offensive than swearing in and of itself.
The words are just going through a phase, they'll calm down soon.
I never calmed down, i doubt they will
