I think i agree with Mr S fry on that score. As he says a good F**k thrown in at the right place is about as expressive as you can get.
When you call somebody a c***t, they get the message, you show exactly how angry you are with them. More than that though, it is language that the majority of us use every day, and I just don't see any wrong in it. It is merely socical conditioning, and that is something that I have been questiong for as long as I can remember questioning.
