Cursing
Cursing (also referred to as "swearing" or "cussing") is the act of using profane oaths or language. It is a frequent offense resulting in punishment for children, usually at an age when they learn cursing vocabulary for the first time and are anxious to experiment with it.
The most traditional punishment for cursing is mouthsoaping, although a spanking is also a frequent result of this behavior, while in many instances both methods of punishment are administered.
An offshoot of cursing is speaking blasphemously (e.g., "taking the Lord's name in vain"). Though the specific words used may not be considered profane, using them in an irreverent or impious context may result in the punishments named above.
While adults are typically allowed more leeway in cursing than children, over-use of profane words frequently results in punishment (usually in the form of a scolding), even into old age.
Punishment for cursing is a common scenario in role play (especially ageplay) scenarios, particularly in a domestic discipline environment.
