How did swearing appear in Rus'? What did Russian swear words originally mean?


Psychologists believe that foul language is an excellent way to relieve stress and restore energy. Some historians consider Russian swearing to be a consequence of the destruction of taboos. In the meantime, while experts are engaged in professional disputes, the people “don’t swear, they speak it.” Today we are talking about the origin of Russian swearing.

There is an opinion that in pre-Tatar Rus' they did not know “strong words”, and when swearing, they compared each other to various domestic animals. However, linguists and philologists do not agree with this statement. Archaeologists claim that the Russian mat was first mentioned in a birch bark document beginning of XII century. It is true that archaeologists will not make public what exactly was written in that document. Let's try to understand the intricacies of profanity, which is an integral part of the Russian language.

As a rule, when speaking about mat and its origin, linguists and philologists distinguish three main derivative words. These derivatives include the name of the male genital organ, the name of the female genital organ, and the name of what happens when lucky coincidence circumstances between the male and female genital organs. Some linguists add a social derivative to the anatomical and physiological derivatives, namely, the word that is used to call lung woman behavior. Of course, there are other obscene roots, but these four are popularly the most productive and effective.


Delight, surprise, agreement and more

Perhaps the most frequently used word among profanity, the word that is most often written on fences throughout Russia, denotes the male genital organ. Linguists have never agreed on where this word came from. Some experts attribute Old Church Slavonic roots to the word, arguing that in ancient times it meant “to hide” and sounded like “to hove.” And the word “forge” in imperative mood sounded like "kui". Another theory attributes the word to Proto-Indo-European roots. In which the root "hu" meant "shoot".
Today it is extremely difficult to talk about the credibility of each of the theories. What can be stated unequivocally is that this word is very ancient, no matter how people with diosyncratic obscene vocabulary would like it. It is also worth noting that “this very word” of three letters is the most productive root that forms new words in the Russian language. This word can express doubt, surprise, indignation, delight, refusal, threat, agreement, despondency, encouragement, etc., etc. The Wikipedia article of the same name alone lists more than seven dozen idioms and words that are derived from this root.

Theft, fighting and death

The word denoting female genital organs in Russian obscene vocabulary is less productive than the word - representative of the stronger sex. Nevertheless, this word has given the Russian language quite a lot of expressions that perfectly reflect the severity of Russian reality. Thus, words with the same root from this well-known word often mean: lie, mislead, beat, steal, talk incessantly. Set expressions, as a rule, denote a course of events that does not unfold according to plan, an educational process, a fight, a beating, failure, and even a breakdown or death.
Some particularly ardent linguists attribute the origin of this word to Sanskrit. However, this theory does not stand up to even the most humane criticism. The most convincing theory, researchers believe, is the origin of Proto-Indo-European languages. There, according to scientists, the words with the same root as the second most popular word in Russian language meant “saddle”, “what they sit on”, “garden” and “nest”. It is also worth noting that this word can have both a strictly negative and positive connotation.

About sexual intercourse and not only about it

The word that today in obscene vocabulary denotes sexual intercourse comes from the Proto-Indo-European language (jebh-/oibh- or *ojebh) and in pure form means "to perform sexual intercourse." In Russian, this word gave rise to great amount very popular idioms. One of the most popular is the phrase “fuck your mother.” Linguists claim that the ancient Slavs used this expression in the context of “Yes, I am fit to be your father!” Other expressions with this verb are also known today, meaning to mislead, express indifference, or make claims.

Devaluation of the mat

To be fair, it is worth noting that many Russian writers were distinguished by their ability to insert a “strong word” into their speech. There was swearing even in some poems. Of course, we are not talking about fairy tales or love lyrics, but about friendly epigrams and satirical works. And it is worth noting that the great Pushkin masters swear words organically and skillfully:

Be quiet, godfather; and you, like me, are sinners,
And you will offend everyone with words;
You see a straw in someone else's pussy,
And you don’t even see a log!

(“From the All-Night Vigil...”)

The trouble with the modern Russian language is that today, due to various circumstances, there is a devaluation of obscenities. It is used so widely that the expression of expressions and the very essence of swearing are lost. As a result, this impoverishes the Russian language and, oddly enough, the culture of speech. For today's situation, the words spoken by another famous poet– Vladimir Mayakovsky.


In 2013, March 19 State Duma The Russian Federation adopted a bill banning obscene language in the media. Those media outlets that still risk using this or that “strong” word will have to pay a fine of about 200 thousand rubles. It is noteworthy that deputies from the faction “ United Russia", who commented on their actions as a desire to protect the country's population from the immoral information environment. However, most Russians believe that fighting with swearing is useless. Neither campaigning nor fines will help with this. Main - internal culture and education.

Some people don't swear at all. Someone inserts abuse through a word. Most people use strong words at least sometimes. What is Russian swearing and where did it come from?

Attention! The text contains profanity.

The notorious social opinion does not allow you to study the good old mat. This is what most researchers who choose such a difficult path complain about. Therefore, there is very little literature about swearing.

One of the mysteries of Russian profanity is the origin of the word “mat” itself. According to one hypothesis, “mate” originally means “voice.” That is why phrases like “shout with good obscenities” have come down to us. However, the generally accepted version reduces the word “mate” to “mother”, therefore - “swear at mother”, “send to hell” and so on.
Another problem with swearing is the impossibility of compiling an accurate list of swear words, because some native speakers highlight certain words as obscene, others do not. This is the case, for example, with the word “gondon”. However, typical swear words come from only four to seven roots.

It is known that different peoples have different “reserves” of mating, which can be elevated to different spheres. Russian swearing, like the swearing of many other cultures, is tied to the sexual sphere. But this is not the case among all nations, since there are whole line cultures where everything related to sex is not taboo. For example, among the indigenous population of New Zealand - the Maori people. One of the tribes - the ancestor of the Maoritans - quite “officially” bore the name “Ure Vera”, which translated means “hot penises” or “hot penis”. IN European culture the sphere of mating, by the way, is also not necessarily related to sexual relations. If you look at the Germanic languages, it becomes clear that many curse words there are associated with bowel movements.

The basis of Russian obscene vocabulary, as in many other languages, is the so-called “obscene triad”: the male genital organ (“x.y”), the female genital organ (p..da), and the verb describing the process of copulation (“e ..t"). It is interesting that the Russian language is characterized by a complete lack of designation for these words by literary native Russian terms. They are replaced either by bare Latin and medical soulless equivalents, or by emotional ones - swear words.

In addition to the obscene triad, the Russian swear word is also characterized by the word “bl.d” - the only one that does not mean genitals and copulation, but comes from the Slavic damn, which translated into Russian means “fornication – error, error, sin.” In Church Slavonic the word “bl..stvovat” means “to lie, deceive, slander.”

Also popular are “m..de” (male testicles), “man.a” (female genitalia) and “e.da” (male genitalia).

The above seven lexemes, the famous researcher of Russian swearing, Alexei Plutser-Sarno, proposes to take Russian swearing as the basis for the concept, citing, however, another 35 roots that survey participants considered obscene (among them, by the way, such words as “eat” and “vomit” ).

Despite the very limited number of roots, Russian swearing is characterized by a simply gigantic number of derivative words. In addition to existing ones, new ones are constantly emerging. Thus, researcher V. Raskin gives far from full list derivatives from the word “e..t” (verbs only): e..nut, e..tsya, e..tsya, e.izdit, e.nut, e.tsya, e.sti, v..bat, you.fuck, you.fuck, fuck.fuck, fuck.fuck, forget.fuck, forget.fuck, fuck.fuck, fuck.fuck, fuck.fuck, fuck.fuck, fuck..fuck, b..fuck, stop..knock, kick..fuck, kick..knock, kick..knock, kick..fuck, fuck..knock, kick..knock, kick..knock, raz..knock, break up, fuck up, fuck up, fuck up, fuck up, fuck up, etc.

No one knows for sure where the Russian swear word came from. The once popular hypothesis that we got it “from the Mongol-Tatar yoke” (“Tatar version”) was completely refuted with the discovery of Novgorod birch bark letters of the 12th-13th centuries. It was not possible to blame it on the yoke. This is understandable, because obscene language is, in one way or another, characteristic, apparently, of all languages ​​of the world.

But there are other versions. Two of them are basic. The first is that Russian swearing is associated with erotic pagan rituals, which played an important role in agricultural magic. Second - swear words in Rus' once had different meaning, for example, double. But over time, one of the meanings was supplanted, or they were merged together, turning the meaning of the word into a negative one.

When trying to discover the origin of Russian swearing, you first need to pay attention to the fact that millions of people do not know where this language came from. The phenomenon itself is incomprehensible. They talk, but they don’t know why they say that? This involuntarily draws attention. If the origin is unknown, then why is it used so persistently and consistently? At the same time, swearing cannot be considered exclusively Russian. It is in Jewish Yiddish. Many experts have long noticed a connection between the Hebrew and Slavic-Novgorod languages. This clearly points to common ancestors. Now the reason for this connection is not difficult to prove.

Swearing is considered obscene language. That is, prohibited for official use. From this we can make a fairly confident assumption that it is pre-literate. Orthodox Church He was always condemned and forbidden. Consequently, it appeared among our ancestors before Byzantine Orthodoxy was established everywhere in medieval Rus'. And, judging by the fact that Christianity came to Byzantium from Rome, where it appeared in the first centuries New era Therefore, among the Jews, swearing appeared before the emergence of this religion.

But here another question arises: the Novgorodians appeared no earlier than the 7th century. New era, and the Jews in Egypt and the Middle East are two to three thousand years earlier. How did both of them have the same language, about the origin of which neither one nor the other knows anything? This means that both had common ancestors who used this language.

A shallow study of Russian swearing allows us to conclude that its numerous expressions and words have only a few roots. Their semantic meaning changes depending on the endings and pronounced intonation. From one word you can make a dozen others.

Unfortunately for me, I don’t know how to explain another unknown without repeating past stories. Because that information is also unique. So I apologize for the repetitions.

To understand the world of the ancient pagans, you need to imagine what an Aryan dwelling with its chimney looked like. It was a dome-shaped structure similar to a Mongolian yurt. The poles, called rods, were stuck into the ground with thick ends in a circle. And in the dome, the thin ends converged on a special wheel, where they were tied with straps - a rope. Words familiar to everyone - springs, rope. This is where the concepts of spouse and the Old Slavonic rope - clan - come from.

The tip of each spring, sticking out inside the chimney wheel, had its own name and sign. The signs were carved on the staff of the tribal leader with “lines and cuts” and looked like bird tracks - piste. Hence epistola - letter. Each tip of the rod was also the bearer of a number, a syllable, a prayer, a name that was given to members of the clan.

In some Aryan clans, the leaders duplicated the names of the tips with a certain knot on a strap, which they constantly carried with them. It was the rope alphabet. Therefore, the words rope, rope, faith, top, twirl have the same root. From ver - circle, wheel.

Undoubtedly, using this wheel it was possible to create only a very simple language. But to create a new kind, the founder did not need anything else. The wheel was the matrix of the original language used to speak with hybrid mothers - women in labor. It’s not for nothing that swearing is called swearing. Or they say: “I swore at my mother.”

The word swearing also speaks of its origin from the Aryan smoke wheel. Details: mother-gina. Mat-stick, line. Er - wooden. That is, a pole, a spring, the end of which stuck out in the chimney wheel. The ending tire means a wheel or a round object. For example: reyshina - rey with a tire. Stick with a wheel. Eyelet, fascine, machine. Etc. In turn, ji-na is the sky on. The word "tire" speaks of a smoke wheel that is "in the sky."

To decipher the original meaning of swear words, you can compile a small dictionary.
Ba – body.
Va, ka - together
Yes - throat.
E – top.
Idz\idzh – sky.
Y – tip.
P – attach, attach.
Ku – together, little one
La – lips, fingers.
Ma - body.
Man – wheel, circle, round.
T – stand.

Now we put together the p-idz - yes - throat put to the sky. Smoke hole of an Aryan dwelling.
Let’s double-check: man-da – wheel-throat. It was used to give names and create clans, which is why in some languages ​​man means “man.”

The word checkmate itself means everything that is worth. This is the herb - mint, and the hair by which a woman was distinguished from a man. Hence the words mat and mother sound the same. Mat, also, is just a stick.

The most commonly used obscene name for the male genital organ comes from two words-syllables ku - y. Ku - together, th - tip. Along with the tip.
Composing a language template was not particularly difficult. Therefore, the Aryan tribal leaders, having the skill, easily constructed new languages. They used this primitive language in communicating with women in labor. They, in turn, passed it on to their children.

With the increase in the number of genera and with the complexity of life in general, languages ​​were replenished with new constructed words based on the original template. The Aryans created enclaves all over the world. Therefore, completely different languages you can find these template words. For example, in Chechen there is a word bud, meaning female genital organ. In the Russian booth, wake-up call. The capital of Hungary is Budapest. The Tibetan religion is called Buddhism.

What is the connection, you ask? - Yes, because bud is one of the synonyms that the Aryans used to call the smoke hole of their home. Bud-ka - with a hole together. Po-bud-ka - there is a hole on top together. A smoke hole, from which in the morning the tribal leader moved the hatch with a long hatch, announcing in a booth.

The toponym Buda - Pest directly points to the bud of the furnace. That is, the round chimney wheel, through which the Aryans gave names to members of the clan. In this case, the name means “ancestral dwelling” or “ancestral dwellings.” The gigantic city began with several clans created here by Aryan leaders.

In ancient Turkic the word “budun” means “people”. Bud-un - one hole. And Russian "means nation - above the genus." The Wheel of the Family, according to which names were given to members of the family.
About the fact that names were given on this wheel. speaks famous surname Budanov. It comes from bud-an - hole on top.

In past centuries, in Dagestan villages there was a public position “budun”. This man was obliged to monitor the night time and ensure that the sentries guarding the village did not sleep. He tracked time by the stars and, at exactly the same time, woke up the people by rattling his baton into a suspended copper basin.

The name of the religion with the root bud says that in connection with the smoke wheel a rather complex body of knowledge has developed. To understand the origin of the god Buddha himself, it is enough to read my decoding of the myth of Jesus Christ. That's two different descriptions the appearance of the first light after the polar night in the smoke holes of the Aryan polar dwellings. Only in the first case it was called idz-uz - the sky is narrow. And in the second buddha there is a round hole.

A common curse word used to call walkers and women in general is another synonym for a smoke hole. Lyada is still called the entrance to the attic of a house in the south. B-yad - body of yad, body-hole. Kolyada - the name of the few hours of the evening before Christmas comes from ko-lyada - circle of lyada. That is, an open smoke wheel, yada.

That's all. There are a couple more swear words. Use the dictionary yourself. You can do it.
I was always surprised that not a single philologist wrote me a single word about such things. Even swearing. True, one day a doctor of science from a well-known university noticed that my text had spelling errors and incorrect punctuation. Very useful note. I wanted to immediately go to high school finish your studies It’s a pity that he didn’t take the elephant....., sorry, didn’t notice.

(By the way! The word min-et consists of min-hole, et - from above. That is, a mouth. A medieval tunnel under the walls of a besieged fortress is a mine. The same hole. The titles of the Chinese emperors of the Ming dynasty and the name of the Egyptian god Ming come from the hole of the Aryan smoke wheel home. The only source of light in the dark hall is the headlight. Hence the headlight is round.

As a child, I heard the following story from the old people of our village: During Russian-Turkish war 1877 - 1878 Cossacks asked the Bulgarians: “Why do you laugh when someone asks for a match?” They replied that in their language the word “pichka” means the female genital organ. From the proto-language this can be translated as p-idzh-ka - put the sky together. Still the same smoke hole of an Aryan home. As a result, it turns out that no matter how much you avoid using swear words, you will still sometimes unwittingly do it by mentioning an ordinary match in a conversation. If in one of the related Slavic languages ​​“pichka” is the same place for a woman, then wooden stick with red sulfur tip, yes male organ, which is intended for this place.

Gentlemen philologists! Study the saw of logos more carefully! And when your great and mighty reaches the proper height, you will understand the difference between a konik house and a condom. And at the same time, learn to distinguish a pick from a kick.

Swearing has accompanied Rus' since its inception. Authorities, social formations, culture and the Russian language itself change, but swearing remains unchanged.

Native speech

Almost the entire 20th century was dominated by the version that the words that we call swear words came into the Russian language from the Mongol-Tatars. However, this is a misconception. Swearing is already found in Novgorod birch bark documents dating back to the 11th century: that is, long before the birth of Genghis Khan.

Revolt against matriarchy

The concept of “checkmate” is quite late. From time immemorial in Rus' it was called “barking obscene”. It must be said that initially swear language exclusively included the use of the word "mother" in a vulgar, sexual context. The words denoting the genital organs, which we today refer to swearing, did not refer to “swearing.”

There are a dozen versions of the checkmate function. Some scientists suggest that swearing appeared at the turn of society’s transition from matriarchy to patriarchy and initially meant the authoritative assertion of a man who, having undergone the ritual of copulation with the “mother” of the clan, publicly announced this to his fellow tribesmen.

Dog tongue

Is it true, previous version does not in any way explain the use of the word “laya”. There is another hypothesis on this score, according to which “swearing” had a magical, protective function and was called “dog tongue.” In the Slavic (and Indo-European in general) tradition, dogs were considered animals of the “afterlife” and served the goddess of death Morena. A dog who served an evil witch could turn into a person (even an acquaintance) and come with evil thoughts (to cast the evil eye, damage, or even kill). So, having sensed something was wrong, Morena’s potential victim should have uttered a protective “mantra”, that is, sent him to “mother”. This was the time when the evil demon, the “son of Morena,” was exposed, after which he had to leave the man alone.

It is curious that even in the 20th century, people retained the belief that “swearing” scares away devils and that swearing makes sense even “for the sake of prevention,” without seeing a direct threat.

Calling the good

As already mentioned, ancient Russian words denoting the reproductive organs began to be classified as “foul language” much later. In the pagan era, these lexemes were commonly used and did not have an abusive connotation. Everything changed with the arrival of Christianity in Rus' and the beginning of the displacement of old “filthy” cults. Sexually charged words were replaced with “Church Slavinisms: copulate, childbearing, penis, etc. In fact, there was a serious rational grain in this taboo. The fact is that the use of the previous “terms” was ritualized and associated with pagan fertility cults, special conspiracies, and calls for good. By the way, the word “good” itself (in old Slavic - “bolgo”) meant “many” and was initially used in the “agricultural” context.

It took the church many centuries to reduce agrarian rituals to a minimum, but the “fertile” words remained in the form of “relics”: however, already in the status of curses.

Empress censorship

There is one more word that is unfairly classified today as swearing. For the purposes of self-censorship, let’s call it the “B” word. This lexeme quietly existed in the elements of the Russian language (it can even be found in church texts and official state documents), having the meanings “fornication”, “deception”, “delusion”, “heresy”, “error”. People often used this word to refer to dissolute women. Perhaps during the time of Anna Ioannovna this word began to be used with greater frequency and, probably, in the latter context, because it was this empress who banned it.

"Thief" censorship

As you know, in the criminal, or “thieves”, environment, swearing is strictly taboo. For carelessly dropped obscene expression a prisoner can face much more serious penalties than an administrative fine for public obscene language while outside. Why do the “urkagans” dislike Russian swearing so much? First of all, swearing can pose a threat to “feni” or “thieves’ music.” The keepers of thieves' traditions understand well that if swearing replaces argot, they will subsequently lose their authority, their “uniqueness” and “exclusiveness,” and most importantly, the power in prison, the elite of the criminal world - in other words, “lawlessness” will begin. It is curious that criminals (unlike statesmen) understand well what any language reform and borrowing of other people's words can lead to.

Renaissance mate

Today's times can be called a renaissance of swearing. This is facilitated by the boom social networks, where people got the opportunity to swear in public. With some reservations, we can talk about the legitimization of obscene language. There is even a fashion for swearing: if previously it was the lot of the lower strata of society, now the so-called intelligentsia, the creative class, the bourgeoisie, women and children also resort to “sweet words”. It is difficult to say what is the reason for such a revival of “barking obscenities”. But we can safely say that this will not increase harvests, matriarchy will not win, and will not drive out demons...

This series would be incomplete without one topic that is widespread throughout the CIS countries. I'm talking about rude and swear words.

Today we are completely Let's look into the issue of the influence of swearing on a person and his health. We will pay attention to 4 aspects:

  1. what is mat,
  2. the history of the origin of swearing (here you may be very surprised),
  3. what is the effect of swear words, what happens with constant use of swear words.
  4. And How get rid of the influence of swear words

What are swear words? The influence of swearing

It seems that swear words have become so deeply ingrained in our society, as if it were normal. I've even met people who claim that swearing allows you to relax,

Curse words- these are unnatural rude words. No matter what they say, these words evoke unpleasant feelings, shame, and indignation inside.

But worse than that, swear words are contagious. It has already been noted more than once that when a child is sent to kindergarten, for example, and there is at least one child who swears - your child easily adopts the “shoemaker habit.” And he himself begins to swear like a shoemaker. Yes, and adults are the same, in fact - a man will work among builders who speak swear words for only 30 days, and involuntarily he himself begins to use this language.

Let's figure out where this infectious thing came from.

The history and origin of swear words/swear words.

There are several versions of the origin of the mat.

  1. The influence of the Tatar-Mongol yoke.
  2. Pagan roots of Slavic peoples

Some deny the first and agree with the second. But both seem to have an impact.

First version in Lately is finding fewer and fewer supporters among researchers.

It is refuted by two facts.

First- analysis of the language of the ancient Mongols, carried out in the 20s. last century did not reveal the presence of swear words.

Second - birch bark letters found in Novgorod. A total of 4 letters were found containing words starting with the letters “e”, “b”, and “p”. Three of the four charters date back to the 12th century, i.e. their writing occurred at least half a century before Mongol invasion. Apart from this, it is also important to mention one more fact. Italian traveler Plano Carpini, visited in the 13th century Central Asia, noted that the nomads did not have swear words. In fairness, it is worth noting that the word with “x” still exists in the modern Mongolian language. It has several meanings, but none of them refers to the male sexual organ.

How did swear words enter our speech?

During the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, the use of swear words in public places was punishable by cruel punishment - up to and including the death penalty.

In the 19th century profanity turns from swearing into the basis of the language of factory workers and artisans.

And after the revolution of 1917, swearing entered the vocabulary of political figures. AND Lenin, And Stalin used rude language in his speech. The fish rots from the head, so it is all the more clear why all the other high-ranking party workers swore.

In the early 90s, swearing came into widespread use. And without "hot word" many people cannot speak up.

The mystical origins of such a phenomenon as swearing go back to the pagan past. To protect themselves from the attacks of the demonic world, people pre-Christian era contacted him. This contact had two sides to the coin:

  • on the one hand, the pagans pleased him by sacrificing him,
  • on the other hand, they drove away, scared away.

Exactly, and people scared away the demon with his name or spells. By the way, they called upon demons with the same words, thereby showing their readiness to merge with him.

The spells that were addressed to pagan idols consisted of their names. And it was precisely during that period of time that the cult of fertility was widespread. Thus, Most swear words are associated with the genitals of men and women.

The Slavs were also familiar with swearing. For example, the swear word of a girl of easy virtue “b...” is found on Novgorod notes and birch bark documents of the 12th century. It just meant something completely different. The meaning of the word was the name of a demon with whom only sorcerers communicated. According to ancient beliefs, this demon punished sinners by sending them a disease, which is now called “uterine rabies.”

Another word, the verb "e...", has Slavic origin, and is translated as to curse.

The rest of the swear words are names pagan gods, or demonic names. When a person swears, he calls demons on himself, his family, his clan.

Thus, swearing is an appeal to demons, only it consists of spells and names of certain demons. The history of swearing shows this.

In other words, swearing is the language of communication with demons.

It is no coincidence that lexicologists call this type of vocabulary infernal, which means hellish.

Today the mat is used for:

  1. Displays of emotions
  2. Emotional release
  3. Insults, humiliation
  4. Demonstrations of fearlessness
  5. Demonstrations of belonging to “their own”
  6. Demonstrations of disdain for the system of prohibitions
  7. Demonstrations of aggression, etc.

The effect of swearing on human health

Let’s just give 6 facts about the influence of swearing:

  1. The effect of swearing on DNA

Human words can be represented in the form of electromagnetic vibrations, which directly affect the properties and structure of DNA molecules responsible for heredity. If a person uses swear words day after day, DNA molecules begin to produce "negative program" and they change significantly. Scientists say: a “dirty” word causes mutagenic effect similar to radiation exposure.

Swear words have a negative effect on genetic code swearing, are written down in it, become a curse for the person himself and his heirs.

  1. Curse words pass along other nerve endings than ordinary words

There is an observation by doctors that people suffering from paralysis, with a complete lack of speech, express themselves exclusively in obscenities. Although at the same time unable to say “Yes” or “No”. At first glance, the phenomenon, although very strange, says a lot. Why does a completely paralyzed person exclusively utter obscenities? Is it really of a different nature than ordinary words?

  1. The influence of mat on water. Scientific experiment.

Sprouting technology has long been used in biology and agriculture.

Water is treated by some influence, and this water wheat grains are processed.

Three types of words were used:

  1. Prayer "Our Father"
  2. Household mat, which is used for speech communication
  3. The mat is aggressive, with clearly expressed expression.

After a certain time, the number of sprouted grains and the length of the sprouts are checked.

On the second day

  1. 93% of the grains sprouted in the control batch
  2. In a batch of grains processed by prayer - 96% of grains. And the longest sprout length, up to 1 cm.
  3. In the batch treated with household mat - 58% grains
  4. The expressive mat had such an effect that only 49% of the grains grew. The length of the sprouts is uneven and mold has appeared.

Scientists believe that the appearance of mold is the result strong negative impact mat on the water.

After a while.

  1. The influence of household swearing - only 40% of sprouted grains remained
  2. The effect of the expressive mat - only 15% of sprouted grains remained.

Seedlings placed in mat-treated water indicate that this environment is not suitable for them.

Humans are 80% water. Draw your own conclusions, friends.

Here is a video proof of this experiment.

  1. Swear words very often come out of people from whom demons are cast out.

This is recognized by all confessions: from Orthodox to Protestants.

For example, Orthodox priest, Father Sergius writes: “The so-called swearing is the language of communication with demonic forces. It is no coincidence that this phenomenon is called infernal vocabulary. Infernal means hellish, from the underworld.” It is very easy to be convinced that swearing is a demonic phenomenon. Go to Russian Orthodox church during the report. And take a close look at the person who is being chastised with prayer. He will moan, scream, struggle, growl, and the like. And the worst thing is that they swear a lot...

Thanks to science, it has been proven that because of swearing, not only a person’s morality suffers, but also his health!

Ivan Belyavsky is one of the first scientists to put forward this theory. He believes that everyone mat is an energy charge that negatively affects human health.

It has already been proven that swearing comes from the sacred names of the gods. The word "mate" means "strength". A destructive force that affects a person’s DNA and destroys him from the inside, especially women and children.

  1. Swear words have a detrimental effect on women

Abuse of swear words is destructive for a woman's hormonal background. Her voice becomes low, testosterone is in excess, fertility decreases, and the disease hirsutism appears...

  1. The influence of swear words on a person in countries where there is no abuse against the reproductive organs.

Another very interesting fact. In countries where there is no swearing indicating the reproductive organ, cerebral palsy and Down syndromes have not been found. But in the CIS countries these diseases exist. Unfortunately…

How to get rid of the influence of swearing?

You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

We have already proven the origin of swear words. Considered a scientific experiment. But the purpose of this series and the “Word of Encouragement” project is to encourage, to help overcome every vice that binds a person.

Here we will give a recipe for liberation from swear words, which is tested on personal experience. Just 5 simple steps.

  1. Recognize

Very important admit that swear words are a vice that has a destructive effect on a person. It is to admit, not to resist.

  1. Repent

Warm repentance before God is very important.

He is the Lord, He knows everything. And He will help, but first just repent of the fact that this dirty language came out of your mouth.

(If you have never acknowledged Jesus as the Lord of your life - then you should)

  1. Accept yourself as a new creation

If you have prayed the prayer of repentance, then you have become a new creation, a child of Almighty God. Before that, every person is a sinner, a product of the devil.

Many in the world say “Why reject swearing - it’s normal!” It's okay if you are a sinful person. And if you repented before God and asked for forgiveness of your sins, you have already become a new creation.

And you need to accept it

The Word of God says:

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the ancient has passed away, now everything is new.

Start to think well of yourself, to think of yourself as God’s beloved child, as the one for whom the Lord gave His Son.

Trust God. You have become different inside.

Eph.5:8 You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light,

  1. Believe that words are capsules filled with power.

That's essentially what this series is all about. What we say is what we have.

But you, if you have already cursed, need to accept it again. Your swearing produced one effect in your life.

Now you need your words to bring good.

Col.4:6 Let your word always be with grace

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt talk come out of your mouth, but only that which is good for edification of the faith, so that it may bring grace to those who hear.

This means that every time you open your mouth, ask God for wisdom, so that your words will bring grace and benefit to those listening.

  1. Dedicate your mouth, your tongue to God.

This is not just a resolution: “I’m quitting swearing since the New Year.”

It is a decision that your mouth belongs to the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. And with your lips you will only bless God and His creation.

James 3:9-10 With it we bless God the Father, and with it we curse men, created in the likeness of God. From the same lips comes blessing and curse: it should not be so, my brethren.

If you dedicate your mouth to God, it will not be easy. But even when you stumble, remember that the word of God says “it must not happen.” God does not give impossible tasks. If it is written in His Word, then it is real. And this means that it is possible to live in such a way as not to utter curses and swear words against loved ones.

Word of Encouragement

I want to end in a very good place.

Remember that you will give an account for every word. And if you say a lot of good things into the lives of your loved ones, bless your wife/husband, children, parents, employees - God will bring these words to judgment. And from these words you will be justified. So says the Word of God

Matthew 12:36-37 But I tell you that for every idle word that people speak, they will give an answer on the day of judgment: 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
