<div>The Torah goes out of its way in a verbose way in order to use clean speech and to teach us a lesson in the importance of the purity of one's tongue. Therefore, a person shouldn't let a vile expression exit his mouth. <ref>Gemara Pesachim 3a</ref><br />
==Gravity of the Sin==<br />
# The Gemara states that even though everyone knows why a bride enters a wedding canopy, the one who fouls his mouth to speak about it will lose any good decree God had in store for him and that decree will be turned into a harsh decree.<ref>Gemara [[Shabbat]] 33a. See Mesilat Yesharim (Ch. 11) who explains that [[vile speech]] is an extension of the prohibition of not exposing or seeing a person's nakedness.</ref><br />
==Using Positive Speech==<br />
# One should compliment a bride in a way that is nice and kind. <Ref> Gemara Ketubot 17a</ref><br />
# See the page about the [[Prohibition of Lying]] for details about [[lying]] for constructive purposes.<br />
