Re: Something that I want to get off my mind for years.
I personnally use these words just to be a nice-offensive-asshole really (I'm trying to quote dAnceguy117 on this one but I don't really remember how he phrased it).
But I encourage anyone telling me "yo, this x word/thing you say, I don't like it" and I'll refrain from using it in their presence. It has happened with a lot of people, even with FFR people. I usually say things blunt and readjust my aim later to be more precise with sensitive things, that's how I communicate.
It's just part of the personality I make myself have really, it might be childish, but it seems to work out okay!
In the end words have an impact that defines someone's character. Communication is what makes (or should make) people like other people or not. People don't get or don't like why you say things in some way? It's either because they don't know your personality, or they didn't have time to fully get you. Maybe act more relaxed or try to help them understand what you are, and if they're still offensed, you simply don't fit well. While that doesn't mean you shouldn't behave differently depending on who you're being with, I say that if calling your buds your "*****s" in a relaxed way is the way you want to communicate with familiar people when in a more popular fashion, stick with it.

I wouldn't dare talk in that way unless I was sure everyone in the room was entirely comfortable with it. So for the most part I stopped cursing and using fowl language a long time ago. It seems pretty childish anyway, but with close friends its all in good fun.

Wonder how people would respond if you said that in public.
Re: Something that I want to get off my mind for years.
all this is another semantics thing. it really boils down to what your audience believe the meanings of the words you're using are. naturally if your audience is big, i.e. you're releasing a statement to the general public, you're going to find a group that will find some words more offensive than others. i don't mean like statistical outliers here i mean more like variations in the english language, so you really need to be careful what words you use.
still the issue of political correctness is a hotly contested debate especially here in england, a couple of famous cases being the nursery that banned singing the nursery rhyme "baa baa black sheep" and making them say rainbow sheep instead, and when they tried to ban "christmas" and replace it with some non religious festival called "winterval" or something, and when some random guy was criticised by the police for saying "nitty gritty" because the etymological origin of that phrase could be racially offensive or something.
finally there was a survey done twice by the bbc on how offensive the public regarded certain swear words and ranked them by offensiveness. the two results were compared and the only noticeable difference was that all the racist words had gone up, like "******" went up from #11 or something to #5. although i have never heard anyone using "*****" in an affectionate sense like a2p is saying in this thread outside the internet, it just shows people are becoming much more sensitive nowadays and i don't think it's a good thing
