Re: Let's get to the bottom of this

Australian here.

"That kid uses a lot of swear words."
"Stop swearing! It's rude"
"She swears like a sailor."
"Fuck that," She swore under her breath.

We never really used the word 'Curse' or 'Profanity' much at all where I live (west of Sydney, I specify as there are definitely cultural variants). I don't recall either being used until I came into contact with American literature. 'Curse' is totally an American word to me. I associate it as such. 'Profanity' less so, but still American to me. It's more formal I guess. I would expect to see it in a news article. Both are words I see more often online now. But 'Swear' is still the word I would use.

I feel like age might have something to do with this too. I'm in my 40s and was a child in the 70s/80s. The internet wasn't really a thing until I was an adult. Maybe 'Curse' is more commonplace for me to see online these days no matter the country because language is learned and the internet is largely American based so with all the younger people growing up online they are more likely to use the word 'Curse' than any regional variation?
