Curse words are as old as language itself. There are many stories as to the origin of words we concider impolite today, a lot of them steming from old germanic languages. Some can be even traced to acient Greek.

I think some curse words can be traced all the way back to the origin of man lol.

Ive always wondered why are things you drive on called Parkways and things you park in are called driveways?
