Learn Something New: Toki Pona - The Happy Language

Feeling blue? So was the creator of Toki Pona, Sonja Elen Kisa, who came up with the idea while feeling depressed one day. I'm not too much of a polyglot, but it seems like with less than 120 words, I might even be able to master this one.

Simple Question #006a: What Makes a Word "Cursed"?

I know there is a long list of "forbidden" words in today's world. In English alone there are dozens. Some of them are really fun to say, but what exactly is it about then that makes them less than acceptable to say in mixed company?

Would Jesus use some of these words? If not, then why? Methinks He might not avoid them just because he's supposed to. There must be an underlying reason beyond avoiding offense.
