Other people tend to get offended by **** the most. Also, it makes me laugh when people use the word "fag" in an attempt to offend. It's the most impotent insult in the world.
What do you think of the worst swear word of all?

But my mother does hate `See You Next Tuesday` as she calls it. If you use it in her house she will literally make you sit on the stairs for as many minutes as you are old, no matter how old you are.
Generally gendered insults get my back up, its basically like saying `You're a woman and that is a bad thing`.
***** doesn't annoy me, though. Just because my family is mostly women and tend to use it as a form of greeting `Alright, *****?`. It's never been insulting to me because of that.
Here in the Netherlands we have the disgusting tendency to curse with diseases, Cancer and Typhus being favorites. Personally I find it extremely distasteful.

Also, @TailstheHedgehog: That's just false, we get as bad a rep for anything sexual we do and get unfairly persecuted as disloyal assholes because of what others in our gender do. I know many females who have friends and are well-liked as much BECAUSE of their "loose" tendencies as any other quality they may have.
isn't that usually the point of swear words, blow of steam by breaking social taboos. People use to blaspheme, until it lost its shock value, and then they started with the vulgarities, and i expect when people stop caring about that we'll move on to worse things.JochemHippie said:
Also i don't think c**t is the worst word. i know this because my flat made a swear jar to pay for washing up liquid etc. and one of my flatmates got around it by googling swear words to find ones that weren't on the list. It was quite eye-opening. The jar has since been abandoned.
Right, so cursing isn't just about a single bad word, it's a science! Like Alchemy!
So, you've got your basic components, which are the "bad words", so this is stuff like:
-Arse
-*****
-Dick
-Fuck
-****
(and many others)
Which are perfectly serviceable as everyday naughty words, but to get a good curse, you need to combine it with a reagent, obviously, this is a precise science, and simply combining two cursewords together makes you look like an idiot, the trick is make a better version of an existing expletive using an unprofane, yet still kind of offensive term, for example: "Cuntmaggot".

Yes of course, that's why there are so many negative words to describe promiscuous men, compared to women.SycoMantis91 said:
@Neaco Which is about the same amount of time the neanderthal mind that spend time coming up with crap spends on just about anything.SycoMantis91 said:
But is it wrong that I actually wanted to laugh in good humour at that? The stuff people spend their time on...
@Syco: I totes gotta disagree with you man, obviously I'm not gonna waste anyones time getting into the details but I've kinda seen this social reaction in action. The man got off scot-free, the girl lost a few friends. The blame went onto her. REALLY weird. Not to say men are off the hook all the time, however - cheating is wrong no matter what sex or sexuality you are.
But I think we've steered this boat a little off the current xD
I don't think it's completely false, I just don't think it's a male-exclusive thing. I'd say I've seen both sides of that kind of situation happen as many times as the other.TailstheHedgehog said:
To me, **** is the worst of the swear words, and even now you can maybe get away with using it once in a TV show, and only then if it's deemed 'necessary'.
Seems many don't care, but I do feel life would be nicer if you weren't hearing offensive language in public for no good reason. It's not the words as such, it's that their usually an expression of hate or anger, and even when they're used casually, it can feel like that.
To me, there's something wrong when you hear swearing coming from kids of like 5 in public, even towards their own parents.
To counter all this, I agree that, at least to me, if I was having insults directed at me, I'd prefer to take cocksucking, motherfucking **** over things like failure, coward, loser, etc, as they're actually intended to hit out at a personal weakness. For instance, you can call anyone a ****, but 'sticky balding midget' is very specific and if you called a young tall woman that she'd just be confused, not insulted. (Tho I chose some generic ones so as not to give any future enemies fuel for later forum arguments
)

Most of those words date back to an era in which women were forced into selling their bodies for profit. They were inherited and took on new meaning. That has no point in this (rather pointless since both sides will never agree) debate. Also, pig is a pretty strong one. You don't really need much more.ClockworkPenguin said:
Shshshsshshshhhh! Don't say that word out loud! Cuntybollocks might hear it!GoaThief said:
On topic
**** said in jest I have no problem with, though I don't use it at all. Fuck (a word I do use on occasion) as an aggressive word is displeasing to my ears, but it relieves pent-up anger (yep, you guessed it - online gaming)
effectively.I'd say the least-effective swear word is tits, bugger or bloody. They're's just commonplace in language and even seems trivial to me now.
I'm just not one for swearing where I can help it, I have bigger and better words to use (srsly). In fact, thinking up big words now and exonerated is one I don't know, but have heard it being used on TV: To be found innocent of a crime they had already been convicted of.
Cool.
Prosperous, that's a nice word, too.
Chivalrous. Intellectual, exquisite, inundated...
I figure myself a bit of an artist: Musically, contextually...contextually! Ahem, literately and such. I just don't like using simple generic words when there are so many situation-specific tailored words to use. I'm not one for learning all about adverbs, adjectives and crap, but to me language is like an art. Grammar is important but not law, you need it for the right contexts.
Doesn't mean I don't use swear words though, like I said. I'm all for it to let off a bit of steam.
With me and my friends at least, **** is the big swear word. You throw around fuck, shit, bollocks, whatever, freely, it's not going to offend anybody. They're just words.
But ****, **** is used when you really mean it, when you're really genuinally pissed off. If someone uses ****, that means shit just got real.

Belgium man, just Belgum.
I think "******" used in an offensive manner is worse than "****". You can get away with calling someone a ****, but there are racist terms that are worse.
I wish I could find that tv episode the BBC did on the word "****". It was informative, and refreshing to see them be able to use the word in a sentence on prime time TV. Sort of like how South Park was allowed to say "Shit", and just went to town in that one episode.

**** is so inoffensive. It's like calling me a vagina, I literally couldn't care less.
The words that are really disgusting though, are racial slurs.
Those words have real, offensive, horrible meanings and connotations behind them.
People that throw them around like they mean nothing - ESPECIALLY the people that aren't from the group of people the words are intended to insult - are, in my opinion, without morals.
If you can just casually use a word that encapsulates hundreds of years of hate and abuse as if it means nothing, I have zero respect for you. You're a bad person.
