i am not offended by swearwords, i am annoyed by them. it makes absolutely no sense to me to use a term that suggests sexual intercourse to describe anything else but that act. likewise it makes no sense that someone is told to have said sexual intercourse as a way of suffering. not only because there should be no connection, but also because the whole idea that sexual intercourse is something you should suffer from is completely alien to me and also demonstrates a very skewed view on what it is supposed to be about. it proliferates the idea that sexual intercourse is something bad. i understand that the use of that word in that context should be seen as completely disconnected, but that only works if the original meaning is no longer in use. like the original meaning of the word gay. using gay as a swearword annoys me just as much. and it hurts the people who identify themselves as such. if you want to use swearwords, use those that are objectively bad in all variants of their meaning. like shit. but here we have the reverse problem. shit is good: ▶ this video so maybe we can find new terms that we all can agree on are bad, like SUV-driver ;-)
Ismo, the comedian sums it up in great style[0] [1]. "I've got shit to do" means anything but actually going to the bathroom. [0] ▶ this video [1] link
I'll just leave this here: ▶ this video He also does a "clean" version for television, and I think he's done a version for "ass" as well. This was my favorite.
