POPS How Popular is your name?

Check the site for both female and male names. Mine is 425 most popular. Was hoping to find a site that gave global stats, but i think that may be asking too much

POPS The Euphemism Generator

by Brimstone 4-30-2008

In third year linguistics I wrote a report on swearing and euphemisms. I got a B+ for my efforts. It was really a fun paper to write I even used George Carlen as a source. It’s no everyday you see Carlen and Freud cited in the same report. What I found interesting was how words that are euphemisms become vulgar and then we need need euphemisms. Take the word ‘Arse’ for an example, this was considered to be vulgar and the euphemism ‘Ass’ was used instead. Today the roles have reversed, ‘Ass’ is seen as the vulgar and many people will use ‘Arse’ as a euphemism.
