Re: Is "anal" a bad word?
My old youth leader told me once about a trip he took to Canada. While there, he used a common phrase (for him), jokingly calling people a "bum". Well, he got a lot of strange looks from people. One of them finally took him aside and informed him that the word 'bum' in that usage was analogous to using the word a**, at least in that region.
Any word can be offensive (bloody is an offensive word in England, for example), it just depends on how you use it. Though there are some fairly universal words that are considered derogatory and profane.
Also, talk about your thread necros. Why was this thread resurrected 4 1/2 years later?
