What is your issue with bringing up guttural terms?
You were the one that brought gutturals up. Or rather it was one of your internet articles that you referenced.

Why do you disagree with it?
A guttural linguistic sound is like any other linguistic sound. There is nothing inherently evil or sexual about it.

The article said in a sexual context it is vulgar.
Indeed. But why is it more vulgar than the B sound, or the M sound, or the G sound, given the same context? It isn't.

Profanity is just manmade words-syllables. Curse words are only considered "wrong" just because they are offensive, based on arbitrary society and cultural standards.

I am not trying to justify profanity use. I know it's wrong. But what exactly, from a biblical perspective, makes it wrong? I don't understand the exact, specific reasons why it's wrong.

How Silence Is Wise
Proverbs 10:19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Why do you disagree with the article saying it?
Because it is just the bias of the writer.
There is no substance for it; otherwise it would work across linguistic lines in different languages, which it does NOT.
