There was once a time when "gadzooks" and "zounds" were considered swear words, but not anymore.


And many of the words considered swear words today weren't that during the Middle Ages:


9. Epithets will be the swearwords of the future

Today the worst words in the English language are the racial slurs, but we are getting more and more offended by epithets of any sort. It is becoming more and more taboo to essentialise anyone or anything in a single word, as epithets do, whether that word sums up a person by race, mental acuity (retard), physical disability (cripple), or size (fat). These are the swearwords of the future.
