@MSNnews tells us that #NicholasCage is Hosting a Docuseries on the History of #SwearWords | @NETFLIX @RealLifeGlobal @ThoughtCatalog

What I show here is 'the group of words' that give "that word" (below hyperlinked to MSN News's article on Cage's upcoming series) a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Swear” is probably built on ancient words that mean "to Speak, Talk, Say (also Quarrel)" (the 'to Use Bad Language'-sense developed from the way Invocation of a Deity would make its Name less-&-less Powerful every time someone used it to |Guarantee a False Promise or an Undeserved Reward/|Punishment---the reason why 'Taking the Lᴏʀᴅ's Name in Vain' was a Commandment-Breaker (Sin)).

Though the series' title calls them "swear words," the script often calls them "Cuss words" ... 
That's short for "|Curse words," reminding us that the base for the word "Profanity" is 'Outside the Temple' (because a LOT of 'foul language' is actually just 'religious language spoken outside a religious context).

The Swear-words NETFLIX reviews the histories-of (not to replace the series-episodes--which really are a better presentation on-screen than in online-text--but just to review them (so you don't have to watch the whole episode over again to remember the basics)):
  1. Fuck
  2. Shit
  3. Bitch
  4. Dick
  5. Pussy
  6. Damn
And each episode also reviews most of its word's "Minced Oaths" (euphemisms that--in most cases--have no other meaning than the swear-word they substitute for):
Swear WordMinced Oaths (and Substitute Euphemisms)
FuckFrik, Frak, Fudge, Front Door, Freak, If You Seek Amy (F.U.C.K. me) ... any others?
ShitShite, Sheez, Shoot ... any others?
BitchBeeatch (or however you spell it) ... I dunno; Daughter of a Dog ... any others?
DickWang, Weenie, Schlong, Dong, Rod, Shaft, Peen (short for 'the anatomical name' Penis), Tally Wacker, John Thomas (and other male names), Pud (as in "Pulling on My-") ... any others?
Pussy'Cunt' (although that one might be even WORSE ... unless you're a woman specifically talking about 'YOUR body part'), Vag (short for 'the anatomical name' Vagina), Twat ... any others?
DamnDang, Darn, Dag Nabbit (specifically (and literally) a minced oath for God-Damn-It ... or maybe it's spelled God Dammit), Durn, DagNab ... any others?
