Abstract
Language is considered a tool that provides information about society, and it also reflects the values of society. In this study, curse words used by Uzbek men and women in society are mentioned and discussed. The article shows that despite the fact that swear words are mostly used by women, they are more polite and soft than men's curse words. Looking at other situations, it was found that men are more likely to use curse words and negative words often as dominance. Curse words are divided into 3 main types in the article. According to a survey conducted among Uzbek speakers, they mainly use it culturally and socially. The study helps to reveal gendered linguistics based on culture and society.
