All said I do agree with the OP it is sad that words have to be so 'conservative' for a lack of a better description. I'm sure everyone wishes they could say whatever they want and it be accepted and that no one would get offended, Just as im sure everyone wishes they could wear whatever they want and no one get offended.
I think Charlatan made a really good point with the suite. As much as anyone hates to wear a monkey suit its still considered to be the dress code for a successful person, does this mean that if you wear blue jeans and a leather jacket everywhere that you will never be successful? No, depends on the situation which further more strengthens the OP's point, So either way you look at everyone in this post (besides probably me lol for my lack of understand the F word originally) is correct because its all circumstantial. If you say it in the right manner at the right time then it will hold a completely different meaning, but that’s just one thing that makes our language so complex.
