    as swearwords go, **** doesn offend me. i get some people dont lik being called it, but if someone shouted it at me in the street id be no more offended than if they had called me a wanker or a traffic warden or summat...........

    Not in the slightest. I do reserve these things to be used for maximum shock value though. If you say "fuck" all the time it devalues the currency. **** is still the biggest taboo so it's fun sometimes to play on its high surprise value. I'm attempting to reclaim "clit" as a swear word. As in:

    "What do you think you're doing, you stupid clit!"

    or

    "Oh clitting hell! You've just spilt my pint you big clit!"

    does using the word **** to describe the actual body part make it a more offensive word? or is that just me?

    But by that token you shouldn't use the word "cock" as a swearword... I'm just evening up the scales...:sunglasse

    ......I don't use the word often if at all, it just does not have a good ring to it.

    whereas leaning our of a car window and shouting "****!" to some asshole who cut you up is very satisfying :p but be careful they dont pull over and hit you
