Swearing ranked from mild to strongest

Profanity is socially offensive language,[1] which may also be called curse words, cuss
words, swear words, crude language, coarse language, oaths, blasphemous language,
vulgar language, lewd language, choice words, or expletives.
Used in this sense, profanity is language that is generally considered by a culture to be
strongly impolite, rude or offensive. It can show a debasement of someone or something,
or show intense emotion.
In its older, more literal sense, "profanity" refers to a lack of respect for things that are held
to be sacred, which implies anything inspiring deserving of reverence, as well as behaviour
showing similar disrespect or causing religious offense.
