Why are cuss words... cuss words? Ever thought about their origin? Why do they really offend some people?

Oddly, you can hear all of those words on basic cable now, but "bitch", "gypsy", "faggot" and a hundred other words are terrible, beyond-the-pale slurs that should get someone canceled immediately.

Local dialect....'round here it is usually "cuss"

My point was it was thought, and/or taught, that using those words brought a curse upon the user. Hence, CURSE words. So not a dialect thing, as much as the fucking origin that you asked about.

The only one of those that's "off limits" around here is "faggot."

Canada? I dunno. The British are their own brand of "special". They think themselves more enlightened than us, but are really much more racist.

I mean in real life. 'Round these parts people say "bitch" all the time, but if someone were to whisper "faggot" the whole city would grind to a halt.

It's achieved near-N-word status, true. But there's a large and vocal language police that operates in news and entertainment spaces. To speculate on how many words are considered taboo, it's probably at least 100.

Huh? No. Tyson Fury's a Brit.
 
To me, it’s ridiculous and outdated that two words can have the same meaning, and one is fine, but the other is not.

Why is it fine for a kid to say they need to take a poop, but not a shit? Means the same thing.

It’s just a bunch of pearl clutching and a shitty “that’s the way it’s always been” mindset.

If something is stupid, change it
