    Same here, I use "retarded" and "tard" but it has nothing to do with actual disabled people. It just means "slow." I wouldn't actually call a guy with Down's Syndrome a tard, but I'll (affectionately) call my little brother a tard when he's acting stupid.

    I don't mind "fag" either. Most of the gay people I know refer to themselves and each other as fags. It's sort of like "bitch" - when you co-opt a word for yourself, you take away its power to hurt, and eventually it becomes a neutral or even affectionate term.

    the only word i can think of that truely offends me is the word no. For example:
    Me "hey babe can we have sex tonight?"
    Her "No"
    god that just kills me.

    Yup yup. and Cunt. Sorry... as much as I have tried to reclaim it, I can't seem to. If someone called me one I'd flip on them. Probably one of the most hateful things you can call a woman... it's hate for hate's sake.... doesn't really communicate any meaning (like, WHY you would call someone that... instead of other more descriptive and particular adjectives), just simply derogatory.

    'Bitch' when substituted for the word 'woman.' Again, totally pointless degradation. If I want to say, "I'm being a bitch, she's being a bitch," etc... that's not offensive. But in conversation, "So i was talking to this bitch, and she was like, "blah blah blah"... useless. just say woman.

    It also bothers me how "feminine" degradation is used to emasculate men. "You pussy," "you little bitch," & "you fag" are all jabs at the feminine, and what it means to be female. It implies that for a man, being compared to a woman is a HUGE insult. WHich is in itself extraordinarily offensive.

    There's few words that offend me in there entirety... but there's uses for them that DO offend me.

    I don't mind retard if you're legitimately explaining their condition. When somebody just says "you sound retarded" or the other varients "fucktard, tard" etc. THAT pisses me off.

    bitch, cunt, whore, slut even bastard... I don't get offended at any of those words ... but i get offended at the culture that spawned them. The idea that in order to TRULY insult something you have to make it feminine(or trace it to a feminine cause, such as insulting their mother).

    Racial slurs like the N word offend me, as do antisemetic slurs- or ANY religious slur. Come to think of it, the word "heathen, amoral, satan-worshipping" offend me as well, but thats just because of the context they're directed..

    CURVY... I hate that. Its a copout compliment that just makes me feel fucking fat and ugly, but they're too 'nice' to all me that.

    ^^^ agreed w/ the culture thing... yeah that's what I was implying as well.

    Going along w/ that, any mixture of evil woman-degrading phrases...

    like, Cumdumpster. If someone called me that, I'd probably slap them.

    oh wait, I did.

    these 5 words together are pretty offensive
    "just here for a beer"



    but seriously, i don't like labeling "words" as offensive or not. to me, it's all in how you say it. i have more gay friends than straight and i say fag and gay all the time. i also taught the severe and profound mentally and physically handicapped... and i call things retarded -a lot-.

    when a word is said with hate or anger behind it, i find it offensive. i also find it offensive if it's meant to be belittling or is ill natured in general. i just think people focus too much on "words" themselves.

    for instance.. i was watching that show about the bunny ranch (i forget the name of the show) and the owner was talking about how they don't use the word prostitute. they prefer the term "working girl".
    pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft whatever.

    a prostitute is a prostitute. the -problem- is with people candy coating it. if you don't see anything wrong with being a prostitute or prostitution in general, then why should you care? the issue is with what -other- people think.

    i feel the same way about the term "stripper". i don't find it offensive at all. if -other- people think being a stripper is a negative thing, me calling it something else isn't going to change that.

    back to the "fag" thing. as i said, i have many gay friends. my boyfriend and myself are both bi. we say those words a lot, but i've also heard them said towards him or towards other friends in a very hatefull and offensive way.

    also, i completely agree with what embyr said. i -hate- when feminine words are used as terms that describe weak or emotional personality traits. it really "grinds my gears" when people say "stop acting like a girl" to their male children when they cry or act emotional in any way.

    *edited to add*
    the words fag/homo in the gay community are a lot like the word nigger/niggah in the black community.

    Snatch, cooter and pooper are the three little words that get my blood boiling. They're like nails on a chalkboard to me. If I hear someone say any of them, my opinion of them usually drops off the scale.

    And like everyone else here, I too hate racial and sexist slurs.

    I don't like being called any bad names. My boyfriend has a bad habit of calling me a bitch when we argue, and I have yelled at him enugh to break him of this habit. I do not feel name calling is nessessary at all, in any situation. Argue like adults, no need to be immature and call people names. I never, ever no matter how angry I am, can bring myself to call someone else a bad name. I feel it is just wrong.

    That being said the one word that will never leave my lips in any situation is the "n" word. I als do not sure the word "faggot".

    I dont find any words offensive when everyone in this whole world uses "offensive" words themselves regardless if they say they dont. Something always offends someone. I mean would we all stop saying tree if enough people started complaining about how offensive it was. People perpetuate the stigma of certain words but will call themselves it or other people similar to themselves and its perfectly excetable but if someone outside their ingroup says it then OMG im soo offended. Words are just words its the meaning so Id have to say im more offended by the meaning behind someone saying something to me as opposed to a particular word.

    Roast beef curtains. Terrible, terrible word for girl parts.

    "For English, press 1...." or brother as in "oh, he's just like a brother to me" which means "you will never sleep with me"

    that gets me.

    Fag I don't pay attention to anymore because my dad's wife is from England and her and her other British friends refer to cigarettes as fags.

    Well this word doesn't actually offend me, but I've never said it in my entire life because it has bothered me for some weird reason ever since I can remember. It's the word that means bad smell and it starts with a S. Lol, sounds stupid but I'm dead serious. I can not have anything to do with that word, something about it freaks me out! Lol!

    Just racial slurs if used in a hateful way. I like to joke around with friends that are of different ethnic origins...but if the person is saying them out of pure hate, it really pisses me off.

    Other than that, I curse like a sailor...so it would take a lot to offend me!

    Slurs. Any word with a lot of history and hate behind it.

    I love words like slut and whore though. It doesn't even register as an insult with me. Like, "Thank you, I know!"

    the ONLY word i find offensive in the entire english language is..

    puke.

    that is the most disgusting, vile word i can think of.

    yes, i have a severe vomit phobia, and hearing any kind of vomit related word offends me. but PUKE is just disgusting.

    ugh
