Swears don't bother me.

However in certain contexts calling someone Gay or a Fag, or use of the word ****** can offend me.

EDIT: I don't find them offensive just because they're 'bad' words but because generally when they're used they make absolutely no sense, or because the persons vocabulary is too shallow to think of anything interesting to say.

Honestly, whites (like me) got it easy.
"Spic" refers to Spanish/Hispanics, not Asians and "Wetback" referrers to illegal Mexican immigrants (who got a wet back from swimming across the Rio Grande), not all people of Spanish descent.

Calling a Japanese person a "Spic" or a Argentine a "Wetback", whilst confusing, wouldn't really be offensive as it would only serve to highlight and magnify your own ignorance.

The only thing i've ever felt hestitant to call comeone is a "stillborn wannabe" because it's dark and potentially personal. It tends to be more discriptive phrases or personal comparisions that hold actually offensive capability. On a more boring level "****" is probably the worst.

As a rule, I don't care about people swearing; tone is far more important, as a rule, than the supposed severity of language, for me at least.

People could be swearing their heads off in an enitrely friendly way, just as it's possible to be breathtakingly offensive and/or hostile without swearing.

I'm English, around here it is often used instead of punctuation by many people. Here is an example:

C1: "Fkin Ell ya ****, ow ya been?!?!?"
C2: "Aight m8, ow's the missus ya ****?!"

And so on. It amuses me that anyone would be greatly offended by the word.

I still thing "Fuck" is the grandaddy of all swear words out there, with "fag" being the most offensive these days.
"******" is still really offensive, but I think "fag" trumps it currently.

As for "****", I really don't see why it is so insanely offensive. Most of the time whenever tells me it is super offensive, they say "just because it is" with no real evidence. "Fag" and "******" I can see being offensive, the same goes with "fuck" being top tier profanity. But "****" ? I really don't get it.

Words themselves are not inherently offensive, its all to do with the context and feeling. Take any word you want put enough feeling behind it and it can be akin to conventional swearing. saying bollocks when things go wrong is the same as saying bother if it's said in the same way.

Swearing really isn't offensive in most parts of the UK.

We grow up with it.

Most folks use bad language as a punctuation mark.
Liverpool FC profile pic. No wonder. :p

OT:
We're pretty foul-mouthed in the UK so it doesn't bother us. Go on youtube and look up 'Can't say **** in Canada' by Kevin Bloody Wilson. Hilarious song.

Also, from what I've been told, most Australians don't give a toss either :p

It's funny because after a long time of watching british shows (i.e. standup comedians), the word "****" is about as offensive as saying hello.
Which would mean it's not offensive.

Swearing is like humor, some people laugh at other things. Like how some people find **** to be no more offensive than poopiehead.

According to cheesy America land logic, fuck is considered the popular "top swear taboo word" tier. "Oh my God, he said ass" is 7 year old tier. Then, you sometimes graduate to "shit" if you're lucky. But the top tier, as created by some of the most backwards corporate Christian "totally badicul exploitation of minors and new pop culture. I'm hippy hop don't do drugs". Fuck somehow has become the top tier as reported by the media. If you were a kid and you used this word, you could have self esteem in yourself! Nobody could call you an undesirable nerd if you said fuck... right, right..? Am I cool and love yet?! MTV said I was cool and I said fuck. LOVE ME! LOVE ME DAMN IT I'M A TEENAGER. IF I'M NOT COOL NOW, NOBODY WILL EVER LOVE ME AND I FAIL THE TEST PERMANENTLY.

Though there was one, hidden, unspeakable ultimate weapon that lie hidden and rarely surface as it's power too sacred to be wasted by most mere mortals. ****. Oh, I shiver at the word. Capable of summoning unfathomable powers at will. Only the greatest sages of the English language have ever used it.

That is, when you're an underage minor. You don't recognize Hollywood for being the sack of cheesy idiocy that it is. Hoping on one African American trend after another and often failing miserably and embarrassingly to do so. That the message it is sending down your throat that "the most important thing is to be a cool high schooler". And are desperate to do drugs, have parties, get laid, curse as much as possible, imitate what you think black people are currently doing, get as drunk as possible as often as possible, and just generally be very, very sad and pathetic.

As an adult, I personally at least, think the status quo of what words are considered offensive, stupid. And I hold my own opinions of what words are the most offensive. And they're often words that aren't considering offensive. "Fuck" isn't such a bad word until learning the history. Fuck sometimes acts as if penetrating is an act of violating and degrading another human. This is pretty darn sexist when you think about it. It's another one of those things that can used to imply that sex is a man's conquest over a woman. However, most of the time fuck isn't used this way anymore.

And lesser offensive, or "curse words" somehow, like slut, which for god knows why gets a lower rating on the "curse word cursiness tier list hollywood Jesus xD" than shit. Because the word slut is almost always used for one thing, and one thing only, slut shaming. And slut shaming is a sexist pile of shit.

Worst as in... Most harsh? I'd go with ****. Some friends find it offensive regardless if it was aimed at them or not.

Worst as in... Most ineffective? I'd pick Fag. I use ******,[footnote]Pronouced "Fag-git" for lulz.[/footnote] to everyone I know constantly regardless of sexuality simply because it's lost it's meaning now.

Obviously I didn't want to get a warning from our amazing administrators so I didn't actually include the word in the thread's title (and I'm a little hesitant to use the word here in case some poor kids scan this), but just wondering what the latest ideas are on the swear word that indicates a woman's genitals, commonly accepted as the most offensive swear world in the western world. I don't know whether to be proud of offended by that fact...

Mates of mine on XBL say it all the time whilst playing, every so often I tell them off but mostly I just let it slip by. Guess I'm not that offended by it, but I still kinda cringe inside whenever it is said so I can't be completely desensitised to it. It's definitely not a light swear word, however, and if somebody does say it I tend to make presumptions on who they are based on that language.

And hey, I can't bring myself to use it here! More because I'm frightened of administrator backlash, though.... which would indicate the word is still heavily regarded as taboo.
Depends on the target, IMO.

People have probably pointed this out, but "Spic" is slur for hispanics, and "*****" is slur for asians.

The worst ones are always the ones made up on the spot. Rather than just calling someone a dick, I might refer to a part of a dick then attach a rodent or insect to the end. Simple, poignant, and gets the point across every time.
I love that, that next time I get annoyed as someone I think I shall inform them that they are a foreskin beetle.

@NameisRobertPaulson I don't really like how you have "gay" as an ethnicity there - but even then it's hardly more offensive to call a gay a gay. It's like walking up to a guy and calling him bro like it's an insult. Definitely more offensive for a heterosexual I would imagine, especially those homophobic or bi-curious-closet types that bully other people to hide insecurity

Personally, the only word that can really shock me any more is "******". I think I must have become desensitised to all the rest, but I still don't use them in public.

Here in Australia words like **** and fuck are slang words for my generation (Gen Y).

However, it all depends on HOW it is said...

When people throw it around in normal conversation it's not offensive.

example, Alf Stewart at the logies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-YjVhvjyOk&feature=fvwrel[/youtube]
Here the word is used so colloquially that it's just funny, not offensive.

But when used as a direct insult and with an angry tone it becomes far more offensive and is downright harsh.

example, Bank Job
