Vloek (taal)

Om te vloek is 'n sosiaal-aanstootlike gebruik van taal.^[1] Gevolglik is vloek taalgebruik wat soms as onbeleefd, onbeskof, onbetaamlik of kultureel aanstootlik beskou word; in sekere godsdienste vorm dit sonde.^[2] Dit kan gebruik word om 'n vernedering van iemand of iets te wys,^[3] of beskou word as 'n uitdrukking van sterk gevoel teenoor iets. Sommige woorde kan ook as versterkers gebruik word.

In spotprente en strokiesprente word vloekwoorde dikwels uitgebeeld deur woorde met simbole te vervang ("grawlixes" in die leksikon van spotprenttekenaar Mort Walker).

In sy ouer, meer letterlike sin verwys "vloektaal" na 'n gebrek aan respek vir dinge wat as heilig beskou word, wat enigiets impliseer wat inspirerend of eerbiedig verdien, sowel as gedrag wat soortgelyke disrespek toon of godsdienstige aanstoot.^[4]
