Sometime during my 6th std, I came to know what a "bad-word" means. It was just a starting point with 1 or 2 so-called-rowdis in the class used to utter it, and get punished my teachers after being pottukuduththufied by some pandu pasanga!! By 8th or so, almost half my class started using it. But the usage was restricted to only fights and only when being angry. This continued on and on and on with almost 95% of the boys starting to use them all by 12th std. Entering college, I could find the boys matured so much that they started using them all so colloquially every now and then. The air was filled with clear pronounciation of all those body-parts-or-diff-professions-or-watever-comes-under-bad-words. They moved on to nicknaming boys with all those names and it became a routine life to hear those words every now and then just like hearing one's name. Thought processes started getting corrupted with such vulgar (?!) and erotic (?!) words.
This continued over the years when the film industry started using this as a style factor for the villains, after the poor villains were banned from smoking in the movies. Thanks to Gautam Menon!! But for him, probably(!!) none would have known many words or wouldnt have started using in day to day life more frequently or wouldnt have educated many or wouldnt have became a more stylish factor for reel life villains!! Poor censor board, many couldn't figure out what the villain is trying to say in the movie. All heard just beeps whenever they showed the villain's face!! This continued over the films that followed and developed to an extent that the villain's dreamgirl or the sorna-ka or the female villain too starting to use it!! [ courtesy: pithamahan :P ]
I cannot say if this was the start for the girls to start using such words. But somewhere at some point of time, they too started using it!! But the poor part is, they started using such words without knowing what they actually mean!!! :( I was stunned to notice that this style factor has become a part of soaps too to increase their TRP rating. A new serial's trailer in Vijay TV had a loud beep for a word uttered by an actress in that. I really doubt if she knows the actual meaning of what she utters there and she actually utters such a word so casually even after knowing the meaning of it!!
This has nothing to do with gender bias or something. In that male dominated society, the male air got corrupted and polluted long long ago. With boys able to hear only such pleasant-honey-smoothened-words when in a group always!! Atleast the female air was a bit pure all these years. Should this corrupt their air too??? Should they also delve into such so-called-bad-words?? Should they also corrupt their mind?? Should they also become morally bad?? [ Edhaachchum seiyyanum sir!! oops madam!! :P ]
