It is an interesting question. I guess it has to do with the way we were raised and what we are taught is acceptable and unacceptable. Why does the word fuck bother us but intercourse doesn't? The word nigger is considered so upsetting that most newspapers won't print it even when quoting someone else.
I guess we will continue to be offended by some words as long as we are taught by our parents and society to be. Amazing the amount of power we give to putting a few letters together in a certain order.
