Send me 10$, maybe that'll make you feel better.

Nah, exchanging currency is too much effort.

... there are reports of deaf Tourette's patients signing 'fuck'.

I LOLed at that one.

[Valmy]

it's similar to certain queens using the word "faggot" or "fag" in the same way.

Yeah I don't like that at all.

Anyway I simply don't use ethnic or racial slurs nor do I like hearing others do so.

While reading up on the Huns at Wikipedia, I came across something for all Slargoses out there:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offensive_terms_per_nationality

Doesn't seem very complete.  There isn't even a section for Arabs.

It's a wiki, you know what to do... Seriously, it's more interesting to know the etymiology of Jerry, than ten slurs for each nationality.

Incidentally with the girls I know and the friends I have 'cunt' isn't that unacceptable (it's still for things past 'fuck') because we have different set of standards and connotations than someone who has never used it, never heard but knows it's there.  A word I find very offensive about women is 'gash', which I can't stand and I don't think I'd ever say.

What does gash exactly mean, connotate?

Actually it's biological.  We're hardwired to find certain words offensive - though that changes from culture to culture (though all cultures seem interested in different emphasises on excretion, copulation and the divine).

Lots of cool stuff in that post, Sheilbh -- thank you!  I started out in this thread looking to reply to Grumbler's assertion that anybody that uses the word "Nigger" is an asshat by saying that I only use that word (or "cunt," or a wide variety of other profanity) specifically to BE an asshat, generally as an un-thought out emotional response to something.  Now I know why.

And now that I learned something today I can go out to the garage & kill brain cells with beer.  Thank you again!

i hate doing this, but it's like 'cunt'.  A more violent word for women's genitalia

I'm very glad I can help you just go and drink beer

Think hatchet wound.  Which by the way, chicks aren't too fond of either.
