Dudes seriously. Is it that hard to see the lady's perspective on this? Not only is it rude, its also used a lot to be a shithead to women. Not sure how guys would feel if a woman just out right during a meeting went "cocksucker".

Can't speak to the use of cunt in the UK, but "bitch" is an interesting example of a sexist term that is applied to both men and women. And it's obviously still sexist because it's used to mean completely different things when applied to men as when it's applied to women.
Nah the US wants everybody to think they're the free speech capital of the world but the moment someone says fuck All bets are off. Lmao
I think this is it honestly. I mean I use fuck but I do cringe more if some one uses it as an adjective cause it comes off as more violent/hateful. Why that is? I don't know. Probably just the fact that our culture teaches it as one of the worst swear words. Unless you are in catholic school where they tried to teach me damn and even worse goddamn were teh worst... I always thought that was silly. But I've met at least two people who really hate it when I say goddamnit... both eventually gave up cause unfortunately for me goddamnit has the right feel to it when I'm frustrated that it seems very natural to use it. No matter how much they would object or one woud always startle me iwth a loud hey, it never got me to stop saying it (and it wasn't cause I didn't try. At one point I thought I had gotten better as I heard them object less until the person said, no, we just gave up on objecting).
I mean I use fuck when I really want to emphasize how pissed off I am about something.
At this point, and how I've heard it being used lately in some shows (Peacemaker, for sure) and movies (insert Tarantino flick here) I'm less bothered by it and more just tired of hearing it used as though it's the verb, adverb, adjective and noun in an entire sentence.
That and, really, we kind of need an "escalation list" for severity that's at least somewhat universal? Somewhere to draw a line on profanity and vulgarity, maybe? We have one but if the "big ones" like fuck get reduced, where do you go?

Remember, there are no bad words, only stupid people.
There are some words you really fucking shouldn't say though. Really just the one.

The wire crime scene scene would like a word with you. It's amazing.
The All-"Fuck" Murder Investigation Scene from The Wire
McNulty and Bunk work up an old crime scene and discover new evidence. They say "fuck" 38 times in a row, in so many different ways. The Wire (HBO) is the best TV drama I've ever seen.

I don't know why, but the only swear word that makes me uncomfortable is bitch. (And the C word, cause it's the same thing but worse if you're a "yank".) I don't know why those words cut deeper.... I'm happy to say shit, fuck, damn, or whatever, but the few times I threw "bitch" around casually in my life, it didn't feel good, so I stopped using it.
