Supreme Court: Using swear words does not automatically qualify as obscenity
The Supreme Court ruled that while abusive language can be rude or offensive, it does not constitute obscenity unless it is lascivious, targets prurient interests, or has the potential to corrupt the minds of those who hear it. The court made this statement while partially granting an appeal for a man who was previously convicted of obscenity for using the phrases "motherf**ker" and "son of a wh*re" during a disagreement over a land issue.
