Ooo good question.<\/p>\n

Yeah, \u2018damn\u2019 is almost as tame as it gets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What people find acceptable and what people find offensive can be dependent on where you are. For example, I live in Scotland for the majority of the year and can testify to the fact that \u2018cunt\u2019 is not nearly as offensive here as it might be in England simply because it is used so often. Obviously it also depends on who you\u2019re talking to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But here is, in my opinion, a list of tame to bad:<\/p>\n

Damn
Bloody
Arse
Cock
Prick
Wanker
Bastard
Bugger
Piss
Dick
Bollocks
Bitch (Son of a bitch)
Shit
Fuck (Motherfucker is probably a step up from \u2018fuck\u2019)
Cunt<\/p>\n

But really, it depends who you\u2019re talking to. I often greet my friend as \u2018Alright you cunt?\u2019 so yeah. \u00a0<\/p>\n

If you really want to get a strong reactions, variety is the key (See \u2018The Thick of It\u2019 for perfect example)<\/p>\n

Hope that helps \ud83d\ude42 It was fun for me to write at least.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
