Language (part two)

WARNING: I will be using explicit or inappropriate language in order to analyze them, find their unconscious meanings and express why we shouldn't use them


First of all, why are so many insults, slangs, and slurs related to body parts? Is that the adult form of our childhood potty humor? We call people dicks, cocks, douche bags, and more when referring to someone who is a jerk, rude, or mean. All those words refer to a male penis. We call people pussies and c***for someone who is weak. Those words refer to a female vagina. Why do we take these sex organs and make them an insult or some vulgar? It really could be just adult potty humor because two of the top swear words are s*** and f*** which refer to poop and sex. We never truly grew out of that phase did we? We just stepped it up a little and made it more "naughty". Another widely used word is b**** which is actually pretty sexist if you analyze it. You call a woman one but for a man you call him a son of a b**** which only goes back to insult not him but his mother. It's always insulting a woman. I think all these words are a bit ridiculous and silly when broken down. I don't want to use them because they are trival and there is always a better word to use and one that isn't considered offensive to others.
