As a non-British person, I find myself questioning if I pronounce "can't" without sounding offensive. I remember the other day I had an unfortunate incident with pronouncing "beach" - very delicate nuances

I didn't vote on the basis of my personal opinion. It's only a word but it's technically seen as one of the worst.

As an insult, sure, but it's certainly not something I refrain from saying in the same vein as, say, the N word, the F word (rhymes with maggot) or the P word (rhymes with tacky).

I also hate any swear word coming from a child... the number of people I know who swear freely in front of their children

I don't find it offensive but I know plenty of people who do. I suppose context is key, but I'm not easily offended with words.

A friend of mine hates the word prick and gets really offended by that but most people find that fairly tame in comparison

The poll was tough for me to vote in but I'm not sure how to make it easier either. It's kinda a little of both "one of the worst offensive words" and "not really up there with the worst" ... it's like equally on par with a lot of words for me that are high up there as pretty bad words (depending on context) but still not as bad as a FEW other words someone could use.

I always consider it the worst swear word but that's in comparison to f___ and s____ etc, wasn't really thinking about some of the extreme racist/bigoted insults that are more offensive

I do think it's used too freely though given that its also a sexist term even though it's not often used as that

Its all about the context. Txhe C word doesn't bother me when its used in conversation about someone. If someone said to me, my boss is a real 'c' that's fine. It would offend me if someone called me a 'c' and I guess that's why I've been known to use it on the odd occasion to offend someone.

The word that begins with f and ends with ch is probably one of the more nasty names to call someone.

One of the worst words and unclassy. Then again I don't swear a lot n the whole. Not for any moral reason really just that I think it's smarter to be able to have a disagreement without resorting to swearing.
