Explicit & Rude Language

Strong language, profanity, and adult expressions

はじめに

どの言語にもタブーな言葉があります——衝撃を与えたり、相手を怒らせたり、社会の常識を破ったりする言葉。たとえ自分では絶対使わないと決めていても、こうした語彙を理解することは本当の語学力に不可欠です。これらの言葉には社会的な重みと文化的な意味が込められています。

イギリスの罵倒語はクリエイティブで、しかも文化的に独特。アメリカでは軽い言葉がイギリスではショッキングだったり、その逆もあったり。また、強い感情を表現しつつも礼儀正しさの表面を保てる婉曲表現やソフトなバージョンも発達しています。

この章では、露骨な言葉を率直に探ります——その意味、適切な文脈（あるとすれば）、社会的影響、地域差。英語表現の全範囲を理解したい大人のための語彙です。使う際はくれぐれも慎重に、できればほとんどの場面では使わないでおきましょう。
