In theis post I’m going to compare ban modern day cussing to Shakespearen cusses Below I have attched a scene from the taming of the shrew.
Come, Kate, and wash, and welcome heartily.
A whoreson beetle-headed, flap-ear’d knave!
Come, Kate, sit down; I know you have a stomach.
Will you give thanks, sweet Kate; or else shall I?
What’s this? mutton?As you can read from above petruchio identifies the servants as big headed idiot and this translated of course but as a person with a big head this is a modern day cuss that I can identify as modern this also a cuss been used for hundreds of years but changing the translation
