Did it ever occur to you that every "bad" word in use today in the English language has been around since Shakespeare's day?
 
Why aren't there ever any new ones?

And no, variations invented by TV writers to circumvent censors don't count, e.g. "smeg".

Not sure if this counts as swearing per se, but we used to evolve new words and expressions all the time. For instance, back in the early 90's there was a singer in the UK called Chesney Hawkes, who was basically nature's last word in flop-haired pantywaists. We started using his name as a general all-purpose curse word and insult. Couldn't get the lid off of a jar of pickles? "You total Chesney!" Lost something? "Where in the Flying Chesneys are my car keys?"

I never really understood the saying 'go swivel on it', until I read that the word for 'sex' in Middle-English was 'swive'.

Do new acronyms count?
