Of course it is not offensive, when used in the proper context of refering to the female of the Canus Genus
When applied to a human, it is an insult, to those animals of the Canus Genus

However I do find it ****ing retarded as it makes no sense when used as a term of endearment by stupid women. When a man uses it though it pretty much sums up what most women are.
Does a certain part of your atanomy resemble an acorn by any chance?

In context or out of context words are just words and can only offend if you let them. Free speech is far more important than the sensitivity of political correctness drama queens....

What do we do then ban the word "Fire".

That is hardly an example of what free speech is about...Is it!!!!You can surely do better than that......

There are better things to get angry about that the words someone uses.
