香港粗口文化節 Hong Kong Swear Words Culture Festival
by Yuen Ho Ying, Pinky



Foul language is actually a common language used around the world. Sometimes people cannot control their emotions, then they will use swear words to express their emotion. Actually, using swear words is human nature. Swear words are actually very worthy of public attention and we should re-understand the swear words culture.
As a Hong Konger, how much do you know about Cantonese Swear Word culture? This cultural festival will bring you a different experience of swearing. It is not really a matter if you are a person who will swear or not. You are all welcome to this “Cantonese Swear Words Festival”. First of all, you need to pick up this “foul language user manual”, and then step into the environment of this foul language festival. You can appreciate the artistic creation of Cantonese foul language, and participate in the foul language game activities in the festival. Moreover, to accumulate experience from those games. You will gradually develop a new understanding of the characteristics and changes of foul language, and slowly your foul language will evolve into a kind of improvisational art.
Finally, this Cantonese Swear Words Festival provides an area for creating swear words. After completing the activities of the festival, I hope that you can recreate the Cantonese swear words from your own ideas. Eventually, I hope everyone will keep adding new values and possibilities of Cantonese foul language culture. Hope you enjoy our Canton culture.
粗口其實是世界各地都通用的語言,有時候人們都會禁不住自己的內心,突如其來的情緒都會令我們心裡有一個想爆粗的時刻,就是這一個人性的部分,粗口其實是一個很值得大眾關注和重新了解的文化。
以身為一個香港人,其實你對廣東話粗口文化又有多少認知呢?這個廣東話粗口文化節,將會帶給你不一樣的體驗。不論你是一個會講粗口,或是不講粗口的人。歡迎你參與這個「廣東話粗口文化節」。首先你需要拿起這本「粗口使用手冊」,再步入這個粗口節的環境中,你可以在這裡欣賞廣東話粗口字的藝術創作,以及參與節日中的粗口遊戲活動,當你累積這些遊戲經驗後,你慢慢會重新了解粗口的特性和多變,以你的粗口將會演變成一種「即興藝術」。
最後這個「廣東話文化粗口節」有一個創作粗口字體的空間,希望你完成整個節日活動後,能夠以自己認識的廣東話粗口字,重新創作一個新粗口字出來。旦願大家能夠透過自身的經歷,將廣東話粗口文化更多的可能性承傳出來,謝謝。
