Are there words you find offensive in any context?

Let's not give the moderators extra work by arguing the specifics, just interested in an answer to the question, if you please. :hi:

1. Not really, no. n/t

[markbark]

6. I've found..

the infamous "C" word (one syllable, rhymes with "front")
is just about the most universally offensive word.

[Radical Activist]

2. Conservative

I know it has other meanings in different contexts, but it still offends me as a gut reaction.

That's also true of a couple racist words I won't mention here.

3. No, not when context is considered

That said, too many people take short cuts when using certain terms and don't make their intentions clear, thereby blurring context.

[freetobegay]

4. Other

Wackadoo!

[FleshCartoon]

5. Does the proper name...

...of a specific independent candidate count?

[Whitacre D_WI]

7. No.

They're just words.

There are INTENTIONS I find very offensive. But not words.

8. Yes: "Bush" n/t
