I'm A Good Aunt I Just Cuss A Lot Shirt, Hoodie, And Sweater
The I'm A Good Aunt I Just Cuss A Lot Shirt! Each culture has its own taboos around body function, religion, and naming things. In Anglophone cultures, our taboos are often related to waste excretion, specific body parts, sexual acts, and Christian deities. But we can still talk about these (with varying degrees of comfort) by replacing them with non-taboo words, or we can "soften" them into non-taboo forms by change something about the word itself. This column will definitely include keywords, although I will try to keep them to a minimum and I'm A Good Aunt I Just Cuss A Lot Shirt!
Taboo words in English have non-taboo antonyms and, in many cases, specialized/clinical terms. (As a native English-American speaker, I'm focusing on that diversity, but I'm going to mention some of the British as well.) Take, for example, the appendix. It is a dry, clinical, neutral term for the body's solid waste and I'm A Good Aunt I Just Cuss A Lot Shirt! We also have crap, less clinical, a bit vulgar but still allowed to appear on TV, poo or poop and all its variations, one childhood word, and vulgar German word exciting. Each of these words has the right and irrelevant situations and they all denote something about the person using them (and the situation they are facing).
