INDEX I
307
Determining what is obscene is a timeless
preoccupation, nearly as timeless as the search
for words that adequately express a relationship
with the divine. As Melissa Mohr shows in this
imaginative and illuminating tour through
linguistic history, those preoccupations are not
separate. Swearing is what we do when we forg
a bond with a higher authority, as when we tell
і
truth and nothing but the truth; it is also what we
do to break that bond. In both cases, certain words
are endowed with the power to shock or to awe.
Obscenities tend toward the earthy and generally
remind us that we have bodies. Oaths are lifted to
heaven and serve to remind us that we have souls.
Holy Sh*t brilliantly and entertainingly
investigates these two kinds of swearing
—
obscenities and oaths
—
from ancient Rome and
the Bible to the present, uncovering the history of
sacred and profane language in English through
the ages. It is a journey with a number of surprises.
Obscenities in ancient Rome were remarkably
similar to our own; George
Carlin
would have felt
completely at home. With the rise of the Church
came a new sense of how laneuaee should be used,
or not
—
and the dirrerence was
orten
a matter or
life and death. Holy Sh*t tracks the advancement
of civility and corresponding censorship of
language in the eighteenth century; considers the
rise of racial slurs after World War II; examines
the physiological effects of swearing (increased
heart rate and greater pain tolerance); and answers
