How to use "Profane" in context?
"profane" is a term that is often used to describe something that is not sacred. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "of, pertaining to, or suitable for use as a term of abuse or derision." While the word may be used to describe anything, there is a general sense that something that is profane is not worthy of veneration. For example, one might say that a piece of graffiti is profane because it is defaced and disrespects the property it is written on.
There is a long history of using profane language to express anger, frustration, and other emotions.
