Actium Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 [quote name='SINcinnati513' post='540908' date='Sep 5 2007, 10:11 PM']I've never understood how fuck, piss, shit, bitch, cunt, ass etc.. became derogatory in the first place. They're only words right? Do they hurt anyone? No. It's all a bunch of bullshit if you ask me. Must be a religious thing.[/quote] Because words have power and there is a need to have certain words that are inappropriate in some circumstances but right for others.

Is there a new hip "radioactive" curse word that gives you cancer when you say or hear it? Do you really take offense to these words that you use? Why do you?[/quote] Because it's inappropriate and the words when used all the time lose their effect. That is what is happening now and once it gets there, folks won't like it. Personally I don't like to swear and only do so in certain moments. For me everyday conversation I tend to avoid it. In fact I like using family-friendly replacements because that amuses me.
