Why do people get all offended by cuss words anyways? I mean...honestly, if you think about it...the words themselves mean nothing. It is people who give them meaning.

For example, if you go to japan and tell them to f--- off...they would just look at you weird. Maybe some would recognize the word, but most would not. The word "f-u-c-k" means nothing in their vocabulary, thus they draw no offense to it.

Because of this, you can draw the conclusion that the meaning of any cuss word is only interpreted by the one who hears it. So if you are offended by cuss words, it is your own fault.

Of course, I speak hypothetically.
