Yeah, apparently there was a US TV series that was set in the wild west sort of, and was supposed to be realistic in most respect, but they decided against using period-authentic swearing, because things which would be found really offensive at the time (e.g. "God-darn!") would not be interpreted very seriously by modern audiences, and would sound corny in a Yosemite Sam way. If you ask me, that's chickening out. It shields people from the important fact that what people have found offensive, and what they have found sacred (meaning important, valuable, meaningful *independent* of anyone's opinions about the matter), has varied a lot.

The "translation" of vulgarities is something they had to do in the Deadwood series. " Actually the constant bad language is a deliberate stylistic choice. People in the wild west didn't really speak like that, they used cusswords like nincompoop or tarnation, which would have been shocking at the time but strike us today as impossibly tame. But the creators decided to make the townsfolk contemporarily foul-mouthed to maintain that anarchic, underclassy feel in the present day." ". . . the characters were originally intended to use period slang and swear words. Such words, however, were based heavily on the era's deep religious roots and tended to be more blasphemous than scatological. Instead of being shockingly crude (in keeping with the tone of a frontier mining camp), the results sounded downright comical. As one commentator put it '… if you put words like 'goldarn' into the mouths of the characters on 'Deadwood', they'd all wind up sounding like Yosemite Sam.' Instead, it was decided that the show would use current profanity in order for the words to have the same impact on modern audiences as the blasphemous ones did back in the 1870s."

This video is very interesting! As a religious Jew I can tell you that the severity of swearing and using G-d's name in vain, has not changed since the middle ages (even earlier). G-d's name is so sacred that we never even pronounce it; it is spelled one way but pronounced an entirely different way in prayer. When not praying, we say "Hashem" which literally translates as "The Name". Some Jews don't even spell out G-O-D, but write G-d (as you might have noticed I'm doing now). Although there are many Jews who say "G-d" instead of "Hashem", when speaking to non-Jewish, fir the sake of clarity. But saying G-d's sacred Hebrew name in vain is considered a serious sin. Swearing as an oath is also serious business. You should NEVER make promises you can't keep, especially saying "I SWEAR to do XYZ", because Heaven will hold you to your oath, even if extraneous circumstances get in the way. The word is to make a "Neder" a "vow". If you make a neder, you must go before a Jewish Rabinical Court of Law (consisting of three men), explain your mistake and be absolved of your oath. It's complicated, and it's easier to just avoid making a neder to start with. Swearing and cursing is considered vulgar, and low class. Although, apparently there are whole books filled with hilarious Yiddish curses.

I love watching your videos I deal with anxiety and then you just have a very likeable way representing yourself in your information and it just helps me to watch her videos

Nice explanation! Incidentally, "We Will Rock You!" as a backing track or crowd song works well for an early-period chant, as most of the original song is 'a cappella': the bass guitar solo is simply tagged onto the end. It would be very appropriate if musical styles had diversified a little :)

When your bishop asks you to speak in sacrament meeting, you Shad must know you were probably his first pick, and he was looking forward to it. Not many people can talk about god so well and remain interesting throughout.

A shame you didn't share any of the insults of William Shakespeare. "I'll beat thee, but I would Infect my hands." (Timon of Athens Act 4, scene3), "Thine face is not worth sunburning" (Henry V act 5, scene 2), et al. They wouldn't be swearing in the historical sense as you pointed out Shad, but it just shows you don't need to swear to insult someone. I know Shakespeare is a little after what is considering Medieval and within the Renaissance, but they are close enough that the swears would have been nearly the same.

There is quite a difference from using profanity and swear words, and being offensive and insulting. You can say "Fuck that feels good" or "By god that was amazing" and those would still fall under profanity even if in context nothing was being offensive or rude. Meanwhile you can be creative with your insults like "You insolent pig" "I'd rather kiss your dead mother than sit next to you" or "I should have bought a pack of condoms if I knew you would be born" without using any profanity or referring to one. Shakespeare was being insulting without being profane or cursing just to get out of the profanity filter since religion was still strong during his time.

​@@RedRocket4000 "officially" is a little bit of a problem in the Catholic Church, since Pope Francis and the Vatican disagreed on whether atheists (and other non-Christians) are able to go to Heaven. Pope Francis said that he believes that it is possible, though less easy, for non-Christians to get into Heaven, while the Vatican denounced that. however, the main point is that there is disagreement in doctrine (though i admit that i was mistaken as to its extent on account on the fundamentalists such as Jack Chick, which i typically find to be more entertaining and important to address than more reasonable groups like Quakers). a better example would be doctrine regarding LGBT+ rights, where the NIFB advocate for a theocracy that murders members of the community and say that they're all going to Hell, while Quakers and some Methodists perform gay marriages. the thing to take away is that saying that some Christians don't represent your beliefs Christianity fails to recognise that not all Christians share your beliefs. if you really need convincing of that, look at the beliefs of Heaven's Gate, a Christian cult whose take on Christianity was distinctly sci-fi, but still Christianity

The idea of how a modern audience responds to swearing compared to how somebody would in a medieval setting reminded me of my favorite author Terry Goodkind. In his Sword of Truth book series he used the word bags in the same context as we would use f*ck. Now of course "bags" isn't a swear word, but Goodkind does a great job of making his characters act offended by the word that as the reader you end up finding the word offensive as you read it.

Re: Gadzooks. AIUI, there's no evidence of that. That explanation seems to be a bit of folk-etymology or back-formation invented long after the fact. Most likely, it was the opposite, a nonsense word created when people start to say a genuine blasphemy (such as, "God damn!") and catch themselves on the first syllable. "OH GOaaaaahd... zoooks." Then becoming an exclamation in its own right. For post-Norman swear words, we see the same with the various "ffff...." substitutes: Ffffrickin', fffflamin', or if you get a little further in before you catch yourself, fuuuudge, fuuuar-out... (Ditto the sh.... substitutes, shoot, sugar, etc.) There do seem to be some Cockney (and then Australian) variants which map too closely to have not been a curse (Cor blimey (God blind me), cor-strewth (God's truth.)) But again, there's no actual evidence of the supposed original profanity. The "explanation" comes long, long after the terms were in common usage.

We have a lot in common, from our faith to our professional outlooks and our interests. When I read the title I thought 'how would I handle such a topic, what a talk'. I could not envision making such a video, but Bro, you pulled it off so very well. It is a bit of a pity that so many people believe that swearing is culturally Australian, I grew up in the country, I still visit often and swearing is seen as something poor city dwellers or people from Victoria engage in. Educated city dwellers certainly have cleaner mouths than the uneducated, but when commenters remark that 'Australians" swear it proves to me that not enough of the educated Aussies travel enough to spread a well-balanced image of my beloved homeland. Keep up the great work, you are brilliant.
