An education in expletives: the history lesson you didn’t know you needed. History of Swear Words, hosted by Nicolas Cage, is a loud and proudly profane series that explores the origins, pop culture-usage, science and cultural impact of curse words. Through interviews with experts in etymology, pop culture, historians and entertainers, the six-episode series dives into the origins of “F**k”, “Sh*t”, “B*tch”, “D**k”, “Pu**y”, and “Damn."The last time we saw Nicolas Cage he was starring in a movie called Jiu Jitsu where he fought aliens with Tony Jaa. So it is good to see he is keeping busy. History of Swear Words will premiere on Netflix on January 5th.
