As each word becomes taboo... another replaces it. Just as we were recently informed by a lunatic in the news that "thug" is the new "n-word". Words are just words. It's what you allow them to do to you that truly matters and the power you allow them to have.

'Thug' is a word my very middle class aunt would call a teenager smoking in public...
