011. F**k
The silly putty of the English language, our most malleable swear word can refer to sex, rage, confusion, excitement and a whole lot more.
022. Sh*t
With medieval roots as a term for excrement, this filthy vulgarity evolved over time into something much more versatile — and sometimes even positive.
033. Bitch
Though it literally means "female dog," in recent years, some women have started to reclaim the "B word" as a term of strength and solidarity.
044. D**k
You can have one or you can be one. But how did an unassuming nickname for "Richard" become one of our most popular swear words?
055. Pu**y
From its feline origins to its modern slang uses describing genitalia or insulting manhood, learn how "pu**y" has stood the test of time.
066. Damn
Though quite mild when compared with its profane brethren, "damn" has maintained its meaning from biblical times and can still pack a punch even today.
