Is darn a swear word

Answer 1

If that was a fact, every mother who has wielded large needles and yarn balls creating tiny socks, mittens and shirts are forever doomed. But its not a swear word. More like a sanitized version for that beaver's primary construction feat but with an 'n' at the end. It isn't a cuss word, like Heck isn't a bad word because it's just a replacement for Hell, but Darn is just a replacement for Damn. darn is also the mending of socks, etc with a needle and thread. my mom used to do it and i have also done it. i think it is also a dying art as people just throw things out instead of mending them

Answer 2

No, it's not. In fact, "darn" is what is called a "euphemism" (pronounced YOO-fah-miz'm). It means a polite way of saying something the culture considers vulgar or rude. In the old days, even mild swear words like "damn" were not supposed to be said, so people substituted "darn" instead. These days, while some people still use the euphemism, the word "damn" is no longer seen as such a terrible word by many adults. However, if you are young, I would advise you to avoid saying "damn" because some adults might object to kids talking that way.
