Hence, it is suggested \nthat future researcher will do better study than \nthe writer and do prospective studies on swearing \nwords with more sophisticated instruments and \nprocedures of analyzing the data. \nBesides, we all know that swear words obviously \nshock and offend many people, that is why it is suggested \nthat by analyzing the Swear words uttered by the \nwriter's brother and his friends, the writer hopes \nthat people do not have negative prejudice in \nhearing Swear words.
