Math is an ambiguous concept. Some consider it unacceptable, while others cannot imagine emotional communication without strong expression. But it is impossible to argue with the fact that the mat has long become an integral part of the Russian language, and it is used not only by uncultured people, but also by well-educated representatives of society. Historians claim that Pushkin, Mayakovsky, Bunin, and Tolstoy sweared with pleasure and defended it as an integral part of the Russian language. Where did swear words come from, and what do the most common of them really mean?

Where did mat come from

Many believe that foul language originates from the time of the Mongol-Tatar yoke, but linguist historians have long refuted this fact. The Golden Horde and most of the nomadic tribes were Muslims, and representatives of this religion do not defile their lips with swearing, and it is considered the biggest insult for them to call a person an “unclean” animal - for example, a pig or a donkey. Accordingly, the Russian mat has more ancient history and its roots go back to ancient Slavic beliefs and traditions.

By the way, the designation of the male causal place in the Turkic dialects sounds absolutely harmless - kutah. The carriers of the fairly common and harmonious surname Kutakhov would be surprised to find out what it really means!

A common three-letter word, according to one version, is imperative mood the verb "how", that is, to hide

Most ethnographers and linguists claim that swear words originated from the Proto-Indo-European language, which was spoken by the ancestors of the ancient Slavs, Germanic tribes and many other peoples. The difficulty lies in the fact that its speakers did not leave any written sources, so the language had to be reconstructed literally bit by bit.

The word "mat" itself has several variants of origin. According to one of them, it once meant a scream or a loud voice - confirmation of this theory is the expression "Screaming with a good obscenity", which has come down to our times. Other researchers argue that the term comes from the word "mother", since most of the obscene constructions send an objectionable person to a certain mother, or imply sexual relations with her.

The exact origin and etymology of swear words also remains unclear - linguists and ethnologists put forward many versions on this matter. Only three are considered the most likely.

1. Communication with parents. At times Ancient Russia old people and parents were treated with great respect and reverence, so all words with sexual overtones regarding the mother were considered a serious insult to the person.
2. Connection with Slavic conspiracies. In the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, the genitals occupied a special place - it was believed that they contained the magical power of a person, and when referring to it, willy-nilly, one had to remember those very places. In addition, our ancestors believed that devils, witches and other dark entities are extremely bashful and cannot stand swear words, so they used obscene language as a defense against the unclean.
3. Communication with peoples of other faiths. In some ancient Russian texts there is a mention that swearing has a “Jewish” or “dog” origin, but this does not mean that non-Zentsurshchina came to us from Judaism. The ancient Slavs called “dogs” any other beliefs, and words borrowed from representatives of such religions were used as curses.

Some experts believe that the mat was invented as a secret language

Another common misconception is that the Russian language is the richest in obscene words of all. In fact, philologists distinguish from 4 to 7 basic structures, and all the rest are formed from them with the help of suffixes, prefixes and prepositions.

Most popular swear words

In Serbia, whose language is related to Russian, obscene words are much less taboo

• X**. The most common swear word that can be found on walls and fences around the world. According to Wikipedia, at least 70 different words and idioms, ranging from the short and understandable to everyone "go to f*ck", ending with the more original "f**k" or "one f**k". In addition, this word can be called one of the oldest and most respected in the Russian language - many researchers believe that it goes back to the Pranostratic language, which was formed in the 11th millennium BC. The most common theory of its origin is from the Indo-European skeu-, which meant "shoot" or "sprout". From him came the more harmless and censorship word "needles".
• x*r. This word, as it used to be, was quite decent and often used - that was the name of the 23rd letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, which after the reform turned into the letter X. Researchers call different reasons its transformation into an obscene statement. According to one theory, x*rum was once called the cross, and the defenders of paganism cursed the first Christians who actively planted their faith in Russia, telling them “Go to x*r,” which meant “die like your God.” The second version says that in the Proto-Indo-European language this word was used to refer to a goat, including an idol-patron of fertility, which had a large sexual organ.

On the one hand, the frequent use of swear words indicates a low culture of a person, but on the other hand, they are part of the history, literature and even the mentality of the Russian people. As the well-known joke goes, a foreigner who lived in Russia for five years could not understand why "pi**ato" is good, and "f*ck" is bad, and "pi**ets" is worse, than "f*ck" and "ooh*no" is better than "f**k ato".

And what Russian does not express itself with a strong word? Moreover, many swear words have been translated into foreign languages, but it is interesting that full-fledged analogues of Russian curses in foreign languages no, and probably never will. Linguists have long calculated that there is no such number of curse words as in Russian in any other language on the planet!

In oral form

How and why did the obscene language appear in Russian? Why do other languages ​​do without it? Perhaps someone will say that with the development of civilization, with the improvement in the well-being of citizens in the vast majority of countries on our planet, the need for mat naturally disappeared? Russia is unique in that these improvements did not occur in it, and the obscenity in it remained in its virgin, primitive form ... It is no coincidence that not a single great Russian writer and poet has bypassed this phenomenon!

Where did he come from anyway?

Previously, there was a version that the checkmate appeared in dark times. Tatar-Mongol yoke, and before the arrival of the Tatars to Russia, the Russians did not swear at all, but cursing, they called each other only dogs, goats and rams. However, this opinion is erroneous and is denied by the majority of research scientists. Of course, the invasion of nomads influenced the life, culture and speech of the Russian people. Perhaps such a Turkic word as “baba-yagat” (knight, knight) changed social status and gender, turning into our Baba Yaga. The word "karpuz" (watermelon) turned into a well-fed little boy. But the term "fool" (stop, halt) began to be called a stupid person.

Math has nothing to do with the Turkic language, because it was not customary for nomads to use foul language, and swear words were completely absent from the dictionary. From Russian chronicle sources (the oldest known samples in birch bark letters of the 12th century from Novgorod and Staraya Russa. See “Obscene vocabulary in birch bark letters.” The specifics of the use of some expressions are commented on in the “Russian-English Dictionary Diary” by Richard James (1618−1619) .) it is known that swear words appeared in Russia long before the Tatar-Mongol invasion. Linguists see the roots of these words in most Indo-European languages, but they only received such distribution on Russian soil.

Here to stay

So why, after all, from the multitude Indo-European peoples mat stuck only to the Russian language? Researchers explain this fact also by religious prohibitions that other peoples had earlier due to the earlier adoption of Christianity. In Christianity, as in Islam, profanity is considered a great sin. Russia adopted Christianity later, and by that time, along with pagan customs, mat was firmly rooted among the Russian people. After the adoption of Christianity in Russia, war was declared against foul language.

The etymology of the word "mat" may seem quite transparent: supposedly it goes back to the Indo-European word "mater" in the meaning of "mother", which has been preserved in various Indo-European languages. However, special studies suggest other reconstructions.

So, for example, L.I. Skvortsov writes: “The literal meaning of the word “mat” is “loud voice, scream”. It is based on onomatopoeia, that is, involuntary cries of “ma!”, “me!” - lowing, meowing, roaring of animals during estrus, mating calls, etc. Such an etymology might seem naive if it did not go back to the concept of the authoritative Etymological Dictionary of Slavic Languages: “... Russian mat, - derived from the verb “matati” - “shout”, “loud voice”, “shout”, is related to the word “matoga” - “swear”, i.e., grimace, break, (about animals) shake your head, “swear” - disturb, disturb. But "matoga" in many Slavic languages ​​​​means "ghost, ghost, monster, monster, sorceress" ...

What does it mean?

There are three main swear words and they denote sexual intercourse, male and female genitalia, all the rest are derivatives of these three words. But in other languages, these organs and actions also have their own names, which for some reason did not become abusive words? To understand the reason for the appearance of swear words on Russian soil, the researchers looked into the depths of centuries and offered their own answer.

They believe that in the vast territory between the Himalayas and Mesopotamia, in the vast expanses, there lived a few tribes of the ancestors of the Indo-Europeans, who had to breed in order to expand their habitat, so childbearing was of great importance. And the words associated with the reproductive organs and functions were considered magical. They were forbidden to pronounce "in vain", so as not to jinx it, not to cause damage. Taboos were broken by sorcerers, followed by untouchables and slaves, to whom the law was not written.

Gradually, a habit appeared to express obscenities from the fullness of feelings or simply for a bunch of words. The main words began to acquire many derivatives. Not so long ago, only a thousand years ago, a word denoting lung woman"f*ck" behavior. It comes from the word “vomit”, that is, “spew out an abomination”.

But the most important swear word is considered to be the very word of three letters that is found on the walls and on the fences of the entire civilized world. Let's take it as an example. When did this three-letter word appear? I will say one thing for sure, which is clearly not in the Tatar-Mongolian times. In the Turkic dialect of the Tatar-Mongolian languages, this “object” is denoted by the word “kutakh”. By the way, many now have a surname derived from this word and do not at all consider it dissonant: “Kutahov”.

In the Indo-European language-based, which was spoken by the distant ancestors of the Slavs, Balts, Germans and other European peoples, the word "dick" meant a goat. The word is related to the Latin "hircus". In modern Russian, the word “mug” remains a related word to him. Until recently, this word was used to call goat masks used by mummers during carols.

Thus, we can conclude that the mat arose in ancient times and was associated with pagan rites. Checkmate is, first of all, a way to demonstrate readiness to break taboos, to cross certain boundaries. Therefore, the subject of swearing in different languages similar - "bodily bottom" and everything related to the administration of physiological needs. And the Russians have always had a great need for this. It is possible that even, like no other people in the world ...

Do not confuse!

In addition to "bodily swearing", some peoples (mostly French-speaking) have blasphemous swearing. The Russians don't.

And one more important point- You can’t mix argotism with obscenities, which are absolutely not obscenities, but most likely just foul language. As, for example, there are dozens of thieves' argotisms with the meaning of "prostitute" in Russian: alyura, barukha, marukha, profursetka, slut and the like.

Everyone knows what a Russian mat is. Someone will be able to reproduce by heart the Cossack obscene bend, and someone will have to turn to the famous “Dictionary of Russian mat” by Alexei Plutser-Sarno to clarify the meaning. However, for many, the history of the emergence of the Russian mat remains a mystery behind seven seals. How swearing is connected with Indo-European mythology, who is meant by “mother” in the swear language and why only men used to communicate in it - in the T&P material.

"The mythological aspect of Russian expressive phraseology"

B.A. Uspensky

Works by B.A. Uspensky, which shed light on the origin of the Russian swear words, have become classic. Exploring this topic, Ouspensky mentions its extreme taboo, in connection with which in the literary tradition only “Church Slavonicisms of the type copulate, penis, childbearing ud, aphedron, seat” can be considered permitted. Unlike many Western European languages, other “folk” obscene vocabulary in Russian is actually a taboo. That is why swear words were removed from Dahl's dictionary, the Russian edition of Fasmer's Etymological Dictionary, Afanasiev's fairy tales; even in the academic collections of Pushkin's works, obscene expressions in works of art and letters are replaced by dots; “Shadow of Barkov”, known for an abundance of swear words (for example: Already the night with the *** [lustful] moon / Stepping into the sky / Already *** [fallen woman] in a downy bed / Falling asleep with a monk) was not printed at all in many collections essays. Such a taboo of swearing, which affects even professional philologists, is connected, according to Uspensky, with the “chastity of censors or editors”, and Dostoevsky even speaks of the chastity of the entire Russian people, justifying the abundance of swear words in the Russian language by the fact that, in essence, they are not always mean something bad.

Images of peasants of the XII-XIV centuries: a peasant at work; resting peasant; games

Indeed, a mat can serve as a friendly greeting, and approval, and an expression of love. If it is so ambiguous, then the question arises: where did the checkmate come from, what are its historical roots? Ouspensky's theory suggests that the checkmate once had cult functions. As proof of this, one can cite examples of obscene words and expressions from Russian pagan wedding or agricultural rites, in which mat could be associated with fertility cults. It is interesting that the Russian philologist Boris Bogaevsky compares the Russian obscenity with the Greek foul language of farmers. The Christian tradition forbids obscene swearing in rituals and everyday life, referring to the fact that it “shameful barking” defiles the soul, that “hellenic ... word” [verbiage] is a demonic game. The prohibition of the Russian "shameful", that is, obscene vocabulary, was directly related to the struggle of Orthodoxy against the pagan cults in which it was used. The meaning of the prohibition becomes especially clear in view of the fact that swearing "in a number of cases turns out to be functionally equivalent to prayer." In pagan thinking, it was possible to find a treasure, get rid of an illness or intrigues of a brownie and a goblin with the help of a mat. Therefore, in the Slavic dual faith, one could often find two parallel options: either read a prayer before the attacking devil, or swear at him. Finding the roots of the Russian swear word in pagan ritual incantations and curses, Uspensky connects the so-called main formula of the Russian swear word ("*** your mother") with the archaic cult of the earth.

One person is elected once a day in a swear way, -

Mother earth will shake

The Most Holy Theotokos will be removed from the throne

In connection with the dual-faith Slavic ideas about the "three mothers" - mother earth, the Mother of God and the native - a swear word aimed at insulting the mother of the addressee simultaneously conjures sacred mothers, desecrating the maternal principle itself. In this one can find echoes of pagan metaphors about the pregnancy of the earth and copulation with it; at the same time, this can explain the belief that the earth opens up under a cursing swearing, or that swearing can disturb the ancestors (lying in the ground).

Having clarified the object of the swear formula, Uspensky proceeds to the subject: analyzing the forms of the expression "*** your mother", he comes to the conclusion that earlier the phrase was not impersonal. The defilement was made by the dog, as evidenced by the older and more complete references to the obscene formula: for example, "For the dog to take your mother." The dog has been the subject of action in this formula since at least the 15th century in many Slavic languages; thus, "dog barking", as the mat was called from ancient times, is associated with the mythology of the dog, "given by the dog." The impurity of a dog is an ancient category that preceded Slavic mythology, but is also reflected in later Christian ideas (for example, in stories about pseudo-heads or the transformation of the cynocephalic Christopher). The dog was compared with a non-believer, since both have no soul, both behave inappropriately; it was for the same reason that confessors were not allowed to keep dogs. From an etymological point of view, the dog is also unclean - Uspensky connects the lexeme "dog" with other words of the Indo-European languages, including the Russian word "***" [female genital organ].

Thus, Ouspensky suggests that the images of the defiling dog and mother earth in the phrase "dog *** your mother" go back to the mythological marriage of the thunderer and mother earth. The sacred marriage, during which the earth is fertilized, is defiled in this formula by the travesty substitution of the thunderer for the dog, his mythological rival. Therefore, the obscene phrase becomes a blasphemous incantation that defiles the divine cosmogony. In a later folk tradition this myth is reduced, and mother earth becomes the mother of the interlocutor, and the mythological dog becomes an ordinary dog, and then the phrase is completely depersonalized (the verb "***" [enter into sexual relations] can match any person singular).

At a deep (original) level, the obscene expression is apparently correlated with the myth of the sacred marriage of heaven and earth - marriage, the result of which is the fertilization of the earth. At this level, the god of heaven, or the thunderer, should be understood as the subject of action in obscene terms, and mother earth as the object. This explains the connection of swearing with the idea of ​​fertilization, which is manifested in particular in ritual wedding and agrarian foul language.

"About swearing, emotions and facts"

A.A. Belyakov

A.A. Belyakov, referring to the legends of Russian folklore, traces the origin of the mat to the myth of the "Slavic Oedipus": once a man killed his father and defiled his mother. Then he gave the "obscene formula" to his descendants - in order to use it to bring on the opponents the curses of their ancestors or to call on their ancestors for help. Belyakov agrees that the deeper roots of this legend are in early pagan cults associated with the veneration of "the mother of the damp earth and the idea of ​​her fertilization."

"Non-normative anecdote as a modeling system"

I.G. Yakovenko

I.G. Yakovenko, in his article on swearing, notes that traditional culture, patriarchal in its structure, tends to profane the role of a woman. It is this motive that we see in obscene formulas - almost always they are associated with rude images of violence against a woman. Yakovenko contrasts the “sign of the highest danger” (“...” [female genital organ], the feminine principle) with the male phallus, the “protector sign”, citing as an example a multitude swear words. As it turns out, there are far fewer female obscene formulas than male ones; moreover, the female paradigm is tinged with something miserable, false, related to misfortune, theft, lies (“…” [end], “…” [steal], “…” [liar]), while the male the checkmate paradigm refers to taboo or danger. The harmful nature of a woman, perceived through a female symbol, the vagina, is emphasized in numerous proverbs and sayings, fairy tales and legends: we can recall those cited by V.Ya. Propp the idea of ​​a "toothy vulva" with which the male hero had to fight.

Russian mat - a form of existence of pagan consciousness in a monotheistic culture

In the future, the tradition of speaking in the mother tongue from pagan cults passed into Russian buffoonery, with which the state actively fought since the 17th century. From the almost disappeared buffoons, however, the tradition passed into lubok, tavern songs, parsley theater, to fair barkers and so on. The taboo vocabulary of the patriarchal and pagan period of Russian culture continued to live in somewhat different forms.

"Russian mat as a male obscene code: the problem of origin and status evolution"

V.Yu. Mikhailin

In the work of V.Yu. Mikhailin, the tradition of erecting the genesis of the Russian mat to fertility cults is disputed; despite the fact that Mikhailin largely agrees with Uspensky, he offers a significant refinement of his theory and considers the history of swearing from pagan cults to modern hazing. The connection between Toporov-Ivanov's theory of the "basic myth" and the mythological opponent of the Thunderer, the dog, does not suit him: "I will allow myself one single question. For what reason is the eternal enemy of the Thunderer, whose traditional iconography presupposes, first of all, not dog, but snake incarnations, it is in this context that it takes the form of a dog, and takes it invariably and formulaically?

The fertile land, according to the author, could not be associated with the masculine principle in the archaic: it is a purely female territory. On the contrary, a purely masculine territory was considered to be that related to hunting and war, a marginal space in which a good husband and family man is ready to shed blood and rob, and a decent young man who does not dare to look at a neighbor's girl rapes the enemy's daughters.

Mikhailin suggests that in such territories mating was once associated with the magical practices of male military alliances, identifying themselves with "dogs". That is why swearing was also called “dog barking”: symbolically, warriors were the embodiment of wolves or dogs. This can also explain the fact that until recently, mate was predominantly a male language code.

In Indo-European culture, every man went through an initiation, one way or another accompanied by a period that can be described as the "dog" stage. A dog warrior living outside the home zone, on a marginal territory, exists outside the culture of the hearth and Agriculture. He is not full-fledged, not mature, he has a “fighting frenzy”, part of which can be called the use of unacceptable obscenities at home. "Wolves" and "dogs" have no place on human territory, for which their mere presence can be fraught with defilement: the relevant norms and forms of behavior are strictly taboo, and their carriers, without undergoing purification rites and thereby turning from "wolves" back into people do not have the most elementary civil rights. By definition, they are carriers of the chthonic principle, they are magically dead and as such simply "do not exist."

Thus, the formula "*** your mother" in male "dog" unions was a spell that magically destroys an opponent. Such a spell symbolically compared the rival to the son of a chthonic being, identified his mother with a bitch, and led him into an exceptionally marginal, non-human territory where such intercourse could take place. Consequently, all swear words imply dog's genitals and animal intercourse, which has nothing to do with human, taking place in the home space and framed by ritual tradition and other signs of culture.

In the future, the purely masculine nature of the swear language in Russia is transferred to a more general context. Since the revolutionary events of 1917, the language paradigm has undergone great changes. Cursing, along with newspeak, is becoming one of the means of communication for the patriarchal (albeit superficially anti-sexist) elite. The Soviet camps also played a role, as did an increased interest in the exploitation of women's labor, including in army structures, where mating directly inherited the communication function of archaic men's unions. Therefore, already soon the taboo of a mat in a female or mixed environment ceased to be strong, and then completely became a thing of the past. The male obscene code has become universal.

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

Today we are completely we will understand the issue of the influence of the mat on a person and on his health. We will focus on 4 aspects:

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

What are swear words? Checkmate influence

It seems that swear words have become so firmly established in our society, as if it were normal. I have even met people who claim that mats allow you to relax,

Curse words These are unnatural harsh words. No matter what they say, but these words cause unpleasant sensations, shame, indignation inside.

But worse than that, swear words are contagious. It has 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 starts cursing like a shoemaker. Yes, and adults are the same, in fact - a man works among builders who speak the mat for only 30 days, and involuntarily begins to use this language himself.

Let's see where this infectious thing came from.

The history of the emergence and origin of swear words / mat.

There are several versions of the origin of the mat.

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

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

The first version has recently found 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. the last century did not reveal the presence of swear words.

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

How did swear words enter our speech?

During the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, a severe punishment was imposed for the use of swear words in public places - up to and including the death penalty.

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

And after the 1917 revolution, obscenity entered the lexicon of political figures. And Lenin, and Stalin used swearing in his speech. The fish rots from the head, so it's all the more clear why all the other high-ranking party workers were cursing.

In the early 90s, the mat came into wide use. And without "hot word" many people can't speak up.

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

• on the one hand, the pagans gratified, offering a sacrifice to 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 the demons with the same words, thus showing their readiness to merge with him.

The spells that were addressed to pagan idols consisted of their names. And just at that time the cult of fertility was widespread. Thus, most mats are associated with the genitals of a man and a woman.

The Slavs were also familiar with obscene language. For example, the swear word of a girl of easy virtue "b ..." is found on Novgorod notes and birch bark letters 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 "womb rabies."

Another word, the verb "e ...", is of Slavic origin, and is translated as cursing.

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

Thus, checkmate is an appeal to demons, only it consists of spells and names of certain demons. This shows the history of the mat.

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

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

Today the mat is used for:

1. Manifestations of emotions
2. Emotional discharge
3. Insults, humiliation
4. Demonstrations of fearlessness
5. Demonstrations of belonging to "their own"
6. Demonstrations of disregard for the system of prohibitions
7. Demonstrations of aggression, etc.

The impact of the mat on human health

Just here are 6 facts about the influence of mats:

1. The influence of the mat on DNA

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

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

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

There is a medical observation that people suffering from paralysis, in the complete absence of speech, speak 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 express exclusively obscenities? Does it have a different nature than ordinary words?

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

Germ technology has long been used in biology and agriculture.

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

Three types of words were used:

1. Prayer "Our Father"
2. Mat household, which is used to connect speech
3. The mat is aggressive, with a pronounced expression.

Through certain time the number of germinated grains and the length of the sprouts are checked.

On the second day

1. The control batch sprouted 93% of the grains
2. In a batch of grains treated with prayer - 96% of the grains. And the longest sprouts, up to 1 cm.
3. In a batch treated with household mat - 58% of grains
4. The expressive mat influenced so that only 49% of the grains grew. The length of the sprouts is not uniform and mold has appeared.

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

More time later.

1. Influence of household mat - only 40% of germinated grains remain
2. The influence of the expressive mat - only 15% of germinated grains remained.

Seedlings dipped in water treated with a mat show that this environment is not suitable for them.

Man is 80% water. Draw your own conclusion, my friends.

Here is a video 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, an Orthodox priest, Father Sergius, writes: “The so-called mat 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 make sure that mate is a demonic phenomenon. go to russian Orthodox church during the report. And take a close look at the person who is reprimanded by prayer. He will moan, scream, struggle, growl, and the like. And the worst thing is that they swear very strongly ...

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

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

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

1. Swear words have a detrimental effect on women

Abuse of swearing is destructive for the hormonal background of a woman. Her voice becomes low, testosterone is in excess, fertility decreases, 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 the mat?

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

We have already proven the origin of swear words. Consider a scientific experiment. But the goal 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 easy steps.

1. Recognize

Very important recognize that swear words are a vice that has a destructive effect on a person. It is to recognize, 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 that this dirty scolding came out of your mouth.

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

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. And before that, every person is a sinner, a product of the devil.

Many in the world say "Why reject mats - it's normal!". It's okay if you're a sinful person. And if you repented before God, asked for forgiveness for your sins, you have already become a new creation.

And you need to take it

The Word of God says:

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, whoever is in Christ is a new creation; the old has passed, now everything is new.

Start thinking well of yourself, thinking of yourself as a beloved child of God, 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.

In fact, this entire series is about that. What we say is what we have.

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

Now you need your words to bring good.

Col.4:6 Your word [let it be] always with grace

Eph 4:29 Let no rotten word come out of your mouth, but only good for edification in faith, 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 who listen.

1. Consecrate your mouth, your tongue to God.

This is not just a decision: “since the New Year, I’m giving up swearing.”

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

Jas 3:9-10 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth comes a blessing and a curse: it must not, my brethren, be like this.

If you dedicate your mouth to God, it won't be easy. But even when you stumble, remember that the word of God says "it must not be." God does not give impossible tasks. If it's written in His Word, then it's real. And that 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 would like to end in a very good place.

Remember that for every word you will give an account. And if you say a lot of good things in the lives of 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 I tell you that for every idle word that people speak, they will answer in the day of judgment: 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

At the end of June in State Duma supported a bill that would increase the punishment for using obscenities in the family and public places. More than once, attempts were made to toughen responsibility for obscene language, both under tsarism and after the revolution. Lidia Malygina, Associate Professor of the Department of Stylistics of the Russian Language at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University, Scientific Supervisor of the Distance Learning System, spoke about how unprintable words penetrated into public life in our country and in the West, about the history and meaning of the “KP” swear word

If there were no problem, there would be no law. The question arises: who initially taught the Russian people to swear?

- One of the most common versions is the Tatar-Mongols. But in fact, this vocabulary has nothing to do with them. Russian mat of Slavic origin. Four roots known to every Russian person can be found in Macedonian, Slovenian, and other Slavic languages.

Most likely, the mat was an element of pagan cults associated with fertility, for example, with a conspiracy of cattle or a call for rain. The literature describes in detail such a custom: a Serbian peasant throws an ax up and utters obscene words, trying to make it rain.

Why have such words become taboo?

– When Christianity came to Russia, the church began an active struggle against pagan cults, including swear words as one of the manifestations of the cult. Hence such a strong taboo of these forms. This is what distinguishes Russian obscenity from obscene vocabulary in other languages. Of course, since then the Russian language has been actively developing and changing, and with it the Russian language. New swear words have appeared, but they are based on the same four standard roots. Some harmless words that existed before became obscene. For example, the word "dick". “Dick” is a letter of the pre-revolutionary alphabet, and the verb “fuck” was used in the meaning of “cross out”. Now this word is not yet included in the category of swear words, but it is already actively approaching it.

– There is a myth about the uniqueness of Russian obscene language. Is it so?

- An interesting comparison with English language. Obscene words have always puzzled British philologists with their nature. As early as 1938, the linguist Chase emphasized: "If someone mentions sexual intercourse, then this does not shock anyone. But if someone pronounces an old Anglo-Saxon four-letter word, most people will freeze in horror."

The premiere of Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion" in 1914 was awaited with great impatience. A rumor was started up that, according to the author's intention, the actress playing the main female role should utter an obscene word from the stage. When asked by Freddie if she was going to walk home, Eliza Doolittle had to say very emotionally: "Not bloody likely!". The intrigue persisted to the last. During the premiere, the actress nevertheless uttered an obscene word. The effect was indescribable: noise, laughter, whistling, clatter. Bernard Shaw even decided to leave the hall, deciding that the play was doomed. Now the British are complaining that they have actually lost this favorite curse of theirs, which has already lost its former strength, because the word has become too common.

- Probably, after the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the situation changed a lot, and obscene words literally poured onto the pages of the press?

- Certainly. Remember Great Britain late XIX- the beginning of the twentieth century. Then even the legs of the piano were dressed in covers so that they would not cause random erotic associations! In the second half of the twentieth century, contraceptives are rapidly developing, the pornography industry is growing. Marriage for life, fidelity of spouses began to look like old-fashioned prejudices. Yes, and heterosexuality in marriage has ceased to be prerequisite. It is noteworthy that at that time the attitude towards obscene words also changed. There are two linguistic collections devoted to obscene language. The first was published in the USA in 1980. The second was published in the United Kingdom and the USA in 1990. Several articles about vulgarisms already appear in these reference books. Examples of the use of obscene language were given in clear text.

- And yet they punished for the mat. In a famous case, in the midst of anti-war protests in the United States in 1968, a young man who did not want to serve on the draft was prosecuted for wearing a jacket with the inscription: “F ... the draft!”.

- Yes. Another well-known case is the 12-minute radio program "Foul Words". Satirist George Carlin listed seven words that should not be spoken on the radio, and then began to discuss this problem. One of the listeners was driving in a car with a child and accidentally heard the program. He immediately called the editor of the program and complained.

Another well-known scandal was caused by the fact that newspapers in the late 1970s. published an obscene statement that a player said to the referee during a sports competition: “f ... cheating cunt”. And in works of art, without any disguise, the rudest words began to appear. In a guide to St. Petersburg, Western authors do not hesitate to explain Russian vulgarisms, for example, b... (whore) – which is usually rendered as simply b... (short version of the word - Ed.) – and plays an equivalent role to 'f ...' in English for those who use it as a verbal stutter.

- Russian journalists also like to use obscene words and expressions, disguising them a little so as not to formally violate the law banning swearing in the media ...

- Yes, softer expressions instead of rude ones often cover in the text easily guessed obscene expressions, swear words and swear words: “Dick Advocaat: UEFA for yourself!”; "Hugh Hefner and Dasha Astafieva: Hugh knows her ..."; “And he stole deposits worth 2 billion ... But he himself ended up in a complete “hopra””; or "Russia in CHOP" - the title of a special report on private security companies or the title of a film about losing weight "I'm losing weight, dear editors!".

– Are there other languages ​​besides Russian, in which obscene vocabulary is divided into ordinary swear words and into strictly taboo ones, the use of which is prohibited in any situation and in any context?

– In this sense, the Russian language is unique. Although, for example, obscene language Spanish is also associated with the sexual sphere, in contrast to German (in German this is the area of ​​excrement). But in Spanish there is no such taboo, so the first academic dictionaries of the Spanish language contained such vocabulary, but the dictionaries of the Russian language did not. In general, the first dictionary fixation of swearing dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. This is the third edition of Dahl's dictionary, edited by Baudouin de Courtenay. But such activities of dictionary compilers quickly ended, since the Soviet authorities banned the use of obscenities, and the third edition of Dahl's dictionary was sharply criticized.
