I don't have big problems with any of the words that have been brought up here so far. But I have to admit, there are words being used out there now that I cannot abide!! (like the word that starts with S, which replaces the word that starts with F) <--Admin, can I can this???

We couldn't even use the words stupid, idiot, gay or shut up in my house ... growing up ....
I've always had a problem w/ people saying "shoot",,, it sounds so much like the word ... especially if it's mumbled.
