Nothing. There isn't any individual word I find offensive.
If you give context, there's plenty of stuff that can offend me (Read: make me hurt you), and top of that list would be saying anything bad about my boyfriend (Without a good fucking reason, of course. No-one's perfect. But he comes close.)

i don't really get offended at words
you say 'fuck' and nothing actually happens
it doesn't really MEAN anything
it's just langauge, just noise we've attatched meaning to
but as for phrases
i do kinda feel offended when Britain (or usually England seeing as every country hates us after we invaded everything we saw) gets slagged off and unfairly critised
If someone says: 'The Brits are all obsessed with tea!'
i'd say fair enough, we do like tea, though maybe obsessed is going a bit far
but to say our dental hygiene is terrible, we're sexually repressed and ugly, that's going too far and does twang a part of me which feels offended
but admittedly that part doesn't get twanged often ... sadly
but thats different from swearing, that's a deliberate personal attack, the language isn't important, it's the message of what they're saying

I've got a few if that's allowed
Emo & Weaboo
What do they even mean? I keep seeing it as a knee jerk reaction to describe, pretty much anything that the user doesn't like that comes from Japan.
Queer
I hate this one more than any other anti-gay slur, proably because over here
Fag means ciggerette
****** is a meat product, or perhaps a bundle of stick in posher circles
and homo is just a shortened version of homosexual
Queer on the other hand meant (origionaly at least) strainge or out of alingment
Belgium
You know why.
As for phrases
I hate X cause all Y are Z
I fucking hate unthought out arguments like this always.
If I can only have one then - Emo

A word is a word. Being white and middle class, I find no word offensive on its own. Unless any of you can think of one.
The only word that annoys me is fag, and only in a way that sounds like someone really doesn't like me, any other word I can just ignore but being called a fag is my personal berserk button (if you're familiar with tvtropes).
The N-word, I suppose.
Not because I'm black or champion a cause, it just sounds bad when you say it; like it was designed to be spat out.

I believe the word "offensive" is an offensive word, perhaps the most offensive word in the English language.
Context. Yahtzee is the perfect example.

I dont think i've ever been offended, i've been insulted a LOT but most times i dont really pay attention when people insult me
the closest thing to me being offended was when my old teacher said that games were pointless and just a waste of time when compared to books and games

I tend to be more offended by attitudes than phrases, although the hideous abomination that is 'hella' does make me want to punch anyone who says it.
When someone tells me to me to think. Does it ever occur to people that they may be wrong and that they should think about what they are saying, no. I usually don't fully defend a position unless I have proof that I'm right, so telling me to think at this point is kind of stupid.
That's something that's always confused me, how is it a slur if it's a shortened version of the original word?Zeithri said:
I mean that for both people that take offence to it and those that use it as a slur, it (to me) is like a guy called robert taking offence to being called Bobby.
I know that any word used as an insult long enough can leave a bad taste in your mouth (I still hate the word fat) but how did it get to be an insult in the first place?
