Swearing and stuff doesn't normally annoy me.

Words like 'bitch' don't particularly bother me depending on the context. If it's a joke, then I really don't miind, or if it's meant as bitch, i.e; someone who bitches. However in any other context, I wouldn't be happy.

I think most people have words they dislike being called.
I hate pretty much all gay derogatory terms, so unless someone has said it sensitively knowing that I'm gonna take it lightly, it's fine, but the majority of the time, I won't like it.

The only language I can find offensive is racist, homophobic or sexist...basically any form of prejudice.

I hate it when someone refers to you as 'love', I find it patronising.

For some reason, it annoys me even more if the person is younger than me. It just seems strange, like something only a little old lady should be allowed to call me

Oh wait, it's ok for you to say it though because you're older... though it would be unusual for a man to say it to another man!!

Its not the words that are offensive, its the way a person says it.
