RE: Abrahams cussing
I just want to clarify one thing: My original post was related solely to the use of the F & S words -- not profanity in general. It appears to me that Rob and Mike have misunderstood and extended the subject to include a much wider variety of cursing.
I certainly agree that 19th-century language had profanity in it. However, there are many forms of vulgarity, and some were/are much more popular than others. My contention is that the F & S words were not in popular, standard usage until one hundred years later. Rob has mentioned Enoch Conger's writings on vulgar language. I would appreciate Rob sending me a PM of one example where Enoch specifically mentions an F or S word -- those are my targets as being very infrequently used during the era that we concentrate on. |
