Swear words in the 1950's
So I’m writing a story, and there’s a character who swears a lot, but I’m thinking of setting it in the 1940’s or 50’s, and I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a sort of comprehensive list of swear words through the ages?
Thaanks
Aha, looks like the word ‘B*llocks’ (with an ‘o’) is not recognised as a cuss word in the USA . I had to censor it manually after I posted it on here.
LOL
Well they didnt really swear back then they kind of just gave insults…
I dont know like prick, scally wag (more pirate age) ,tosser???
look it up on google maybe but they basically just said things like bastard in the gang days…
Not sure if these links are any help:

There were a lot of religious relates cuss phrases that became shortened over the centuries.
We have one in the UK called ‘b*llocks’ (look it up) which is used as a response of disbelief in reply to a statement one does not agree with. (quite a strong word, depending on how it is said. Can be said light heartedly or with venom)
Dont think they have that one in the US.
