I know. i mean I sometimes utter the "s..." word, for instance if I drop something on my foot! I sometimes use Bloody and buggar, as is often used on here, lol!
Those swear words are supposed to be mildly offensive to some. But others are considered taboo in polite society, myself included. Sometimes I think it is just the actual sound ....of one word in particular....it just isn't nice. Someone somewhere must have decide that these words weren't acceptable, would be interesting to pin point when and who. Also why people have to use these words. It definitely seems to be a class thing...the more vulgar the word...the lower the people that use it. In my experience anyway.
