. I also must add that neither is it okay to cuss when we bang our heads, or drop something on our toes. "Ouch" will do fine and so there is no excuse for profane words. One way people try to excuse the use of vulgar language is by saying "what's acceptable changes with time and culture".

Conclusion 1: Although someone may be at liberty to use a vulgar word to translate skubala in Phil 3.8, this does not mean that it is a license to cuss whenever we would like. ...

Please note that I am not getting at that it is OK for Christians to cuss. My point will be made clear at the end. A simple look at the etymology of the so-called cuss words will shine much light on their meaning.
