PREFACE

PREFACE
Today swearing and foul language are an established part of the linguistic environment, occa-
sionally invading even the best mannered and most controlled circles. There is hardly a domain
where “bad language” is not to be heard, and there are now several genres of popular culture,
such as rap, reggae, “celebrity” channels, and those of shock jocks, which are largely dependent
on the lower registers. The old saying that there is money in muck is being validated in yet another
way. Are such utterances and outlets part of a new barbarism, yet another sign that nothing is
taboo? The argument for a decline to the lowest common denominator seems strong. It is hard
to believe that Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln spoke in the White House in the way
that their successor Richard Nixon is recorded as having done, or that previous members of the
British Royal Family used the strong language for which the Duke of Edinburgh and his daughter
Princess Anne are notorious. The utterances of Beowulf, Lancelot, and Guinevere have a digni-
fied purity subsequently lost, just as within a few recent decades of modern popular culture the
dignified altruistic nobility of Superman has given way to the barbarous punk rock group, the Sex
Pistols, and the inarticulate cynicism of Bart Simpson, the denizens of “South Park,” and so on.
Yet, in fact, Queen Elizabeth I “swore like a man,” and was no stranger to coarse jests. Six
hundred years ago the English were known to the French as les goddems (“the goddams”) just as
their modern successors are known as les fuckoffs. These collective abilities led William Hazlitt
to the generalization that “the English, it must be owned [admitted], are rather a foulmouthed
nation” (1821, Table Talk, xxii). Attitudes toward this proliferation are changing and complex.
“Four-letter” words were used with unembarrassed frequency in medieval medical texts, be-
fore the current opaque, euphemistic, and abstract terms like “genitalia” and “private parts”
became the essential mode of professional discourse. Yet in Chaucer only the crudest and
most exhibitionist of the pilgrims use taboo words. Shakespeare generally avoided them, his
contemporary Ben Jonson paraded several, John Aubrey scandalously observed in the mid-
seventeenth century that John Selden “got more with his prick than his practice,” and his
demure contemporary Samuel Pepys recorded reluctantly words like “shit.”
Lexicographers were caught in a dilemma between inclusiveness and “decency”: Dr. Samuel
Johnson (1755), the Oxford English Dictionary (OED 1884–1928), and even Webster III (1961)

PREFACE

omitted the crudest words. Yet underground, slang, and even polite dictionaries had in-
cluded them from the sixteenth century. The reputations of major novelists like James Joyce
and D.H. Lawrence were first sullied and then rehabilitated by legal process for using in
print words heard in the street. Today “four-letter” words are in “the dictionary,” on “the
street,” and used increasingly in “the media.” They even proliferated in books awarded the
prestigious Booker Prize for 1994 and 2003. Yet a curious double standard prevails: fuck and
cunt are designated as “taboo,” but are commonly used, as any data on currency show. What
then is taboo? In reality it is a new category, the ethnic slur.
The social history of swearing and foul language is fascinating. But much of the data has
been buried, hidden, or deliberately ignored as “unworthy of preservation,” as Dr. Johnson
called “cant” or underground slang. Maybe the doughty Doctor was right, since dredging
the linguistic sewer is an unedifying exercise. There is a problem of contamination in dealing
with dirt, which can lead to a double standard, shown in this fastidious evasion: “There is a
certain adjective, most offensive to polite ears, which plays apparently the chief role in the
vocabulary of large sections of the community.” That was Professor H.C. Wyld, in his
History of Modern Colloquial English, discoursing knowingly for half a page on a word without
ever mentioning it. What was the word? Contemporary readers surely would have known.
Now only the social context and the date of publication lead us to it. Since the book came
out in 1920 in England, it must have been bloody, then supposedly taboo. Indeed, the whole
odd evasion would make sense only in England, since in the United States it would have
been nonsensical, while in Australia it would have been laughable. Today such reticence has
long passed away. A recent survey showed that the name of Jesus was familiar to the major-
ity of British children, but as a swearword.
Fifty years ago a work such as this would have been difficult to write, since taboos still
operated even in lexicography, the one area that should have been free of such restraints.
Today that has all changed, with the publication of the Supplement to the Oxford English
Dictionary (1972–1986) and the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (1994–
currently in production and retitled Historical Dictionary of America Slang with Oxford Univer-
sity Press). Material is now so abundant that it is difficult to select and maintain a balance
between the differing categories and the varieties of global English. But as Dr. Johnson
wisely observed, while the dictionary is hastening to publication, “some words are budding,
and some falling away.” And as he reflected on his progress through “the treadmill of the
alphabet,” “to the weariness of copying I was condemned to add the vexation of expung-
ing.” A work of this kind is easier to start than to finish, since bizarre verbal outrages are
now commonplace. Though no work on swearing can be comprehensive without becoming
very tedious, this should give the reader an awareness that there are fundamental historical
changes in swearing and foul language, as well as a sense of Plus ça change; c’est plus la même
chose (“The more things change, the more they stay the same”).
Although the entries are arranged in alphabetical order, this is not a dictionary. Readers
will find a greater range of headings with cross-references in the main text than appear in the
Contents. Thus Film is discussed under two headings, namely Cinema and Hollywood;
terms for Foreigners are discussed under Ethnic Slurs and numerous specific terms; Lesbi-
ans are subsumed under Homosexuals; and so on. The material has been organized under

various categories: the words themselves; historical periods; strategies or conventions, such
as euphemisms, “minced oaths,” and disguise mechanisms; reprehensible behaviors, such
as cowardice, cuckoldry, and prostitution; as well as significant authors and major lexicogra-
phers, those creators and retrievers of what Lord Acton called “the absorbing past.”

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A work of this complexity and range cannot be achieved by a single person. Accordingly I
am happy to recognize those scholars, researchers and philologists who ventured into “the
dark continent of words,” in John S. Farmer’s phrase, and recorded their findings, some
more willingly than others. They are surprisingly numerous and extend from the predeces-
sors of the ebullient Francis Grose through Farmer and Henley to Murray, Craigie, Bradley
and Onions of the unique OED, Robert Burchfield of the worthy OED Supplement, Eric
Partridge, down to Jonathan Lighter and his team at the magnificent Historical Dictionary of
American Slang, currently in production. I owe a special debt of thanks to Grant Barrett and
the HDAS team for sharing with me some of their unpublished data.
I must also record my thanks to Blackwell Publishers for allowing me to re-use some of
the material from Swearing (1991), my earlier venture into the field. Professor Kader Asmal
was kind enough to supply me with some data on unparliamentary language and Tanya
Barben of the Rare Books Collection at the University of Cape Town assisted me enthusi-
astically in some exotic searches. Peter Knox-Shaw and Christopher Hope gave me the
benefit of their views
This work was the brainchild of Todd Hallman, who approached me several years ago
with a proposal for this improbable and challenging enterprise. Todd has been a model
editor, supportive, patient, encouraging, generous, wise, and flexible, but uncompromising
on the important issues. Cathleen Prisco, Amy Odum and Mel Wolfson managed the prob-
lems of editing with extraordinary punctiliousness and patience. I should also like to thank
my beloved wife, Letitia, for help with the proofreading and my dear son Conrad for the
loan of his sharp critical mind and his computer. The University of Cape Town English
Department granted me temporary use of an office and a computer, prior to the generous
assistance of Professor Joan Hambidge at a critical stage of the project.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Words cannot be unsaid, any more than blows can be taken back, and both can have serious
repercussions. Swearing is a perennial source of fascination for those interested in language and
society, continuously provoking controversy and raising topical issues. An extraordinary range of
style and content has evolved in oaths, profanity, foul language, and ethnic slurs over the centu-
ries, on a scale from the most sacred utterances to the most taboo. Formal swearing is a ritual of
social compliance and obligation: in marriage, in court, for high office, and as allegiance to the
state. On the other hand, informal swearing constitutes a transgression of social codes ranging
from the merely impolite to the criminal. This work seeks to introduce students and word lovers
to this diversity and its historical evolution.
Swearing now includes so many varied and developed forms that some broad distinctions
need to be made at the outset. Let us start with differences between mode and content. In
terms of mode, we swear by some higher force or somebody; we swear that something is so; we
swear to do something; we swear at something or somebody; and we swear simply out of
anger, disappointment, or frustration. These different modes can be retermed by various un-
familiar classical terms, such as asseveration, invocation, imprecation, malediction, blasphemy,
profanity, obscenity, and ejaculation (in its old sense of “exclamation”). The figure Varieties of
Swearing and Word Magic is designed to give the reader a basic map of the territory, showing
the hierarchical separation between the binary opposites of “sacred,” “profane,” and “taboo,”
divided by the “line of acceptability” on which stands “oaths,” since they can be either sacred
or profane. The categories of “obscenity,” “foul language,” and “ethnic slurs” stand below the
line because they are purely secular and have no sacred equivalent. As the entries for these
major categories show, several of the terms have complex histories and unstable meanings.
“Taboo” itself also contains a binary opposition, referring to human experiences, words, or
deeds that are unmentionable because they are either ineffably sacred (like the name of God)
or unspeakably vile (like incest). Although we are familiar with most of these modes of swear-
ing now, they have not been constantly present in the past. They represent a growth or accu-
mulation that has evolved over centuries. Nevertheless, the crude and simple history of swearing,
however named, is that people used mainly to swear by or to, but now they swear mostly at.
