I mean, if you pulled it out on a discussion not about swear words or something like that in civilized society, civility would go out the window (because you would've tossed it out the window), so it seems _more_ of a swear word to me in modern times than the ordinary fuck, shit, etc
- Beldin 6y agoIf we're arguing semantics: isn't it an insult instead of a swear word? I.e., is there a common use of the word not directed at a person? Like hitting your thumb with a hammer?

- ComputerGuru 6y agoFunny story. We suspended a middle schooler earlier this year because he was heard using that word in close proximity to a black teacher. When approached, he swore he had stubbed his toe and cried out n*r in agony. The disciplinarian and I were discussing it and I was adamant that we could forgive his using any other verbiage, up to and including sob or the f-word in that context, but that I could never in a million years believe that anyone would use that particular slur after stubbing a toe or getting a paper cut.
