Yeah I think part of it is they don’t belong as swears for your last two but they were turned into depilatories. Its a bit like some folks at things I have been to get negative about the YMCA song and im like don’t be like that. That man is loud and proud and supporting us with the national anthem of his people. If he could join us in costume Im sure he would. Celebrate the freedom found in the YMCA.
Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?
kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 days agoAh my bad, I thought slur and swear are synonymous for some reason, I stand corrected.
Though I would argue both dick and cunt are kinda slurs as they imply negative things about a specific gendered thing, at least that’s how I feel about them.
Weirdly I don’t feel the same way about the word for bunch of sticks and the one that rhymes with regarded
Because for me they have a specific meaning that is completely irrelevant to what they mean originally.

That one was so common in normal 2000’s conversation I am still trying to break the habit of saying it. If anyone has replacements, I’m open to suggestions.
