"This kind of word"
Samaritan is a Jew or Gentile? 
Poor Thing, So-Call Chup Cheng ('Santa' Monica)
Quite distasteful. (frank)
Well.. (Eveline How)

Just as offensive as the word "Samaritan" (Eveline How)

Sorry, as far as I'm concerned, there's no good and evil attached to a particular word.
I don't buy the business of one word is more holy than the other, or one word is more vulgar than the other. Words are just supposed to convey a particular meaning. If it's offensive, it's because the listener thinks so. Level of vulgarity of a particular word is dependent on the mind of the listener as well as the social context. It has nothing to do with the word. I can insult you in the rudest way without resorting to any of the so-called "vulgar words." Maybe I can add in some beautiful words (like flower, butterfly, waterfall) as well. Will that make it more palatable? Anyway I don't think you can understand what I'm trying to say, I hope you do. We should always watch our language, but there's no such thing as measuring a person's holiness by the kind of language we use. -eveline
