The word i think is the most degrading is Cunt..everytime someone has called me that or even said it I wanted to put them through the wall...

For me it was the one time my mother called me a slut when I was 18 and she believed I'd lost my virginity to a man I'd met from online who lived in Idaho.  The scorn and pain that she used in that word took a long time to heal from and is probably part of why I take such pride in using it for myself now.

It is not the word itself that is degrading ever, it is the intent behind the name calling that is degrading. Just me

it's the most foul and degrading word even though it's commonly used within the African-American race.

My Mom was calling me a whore at age 12-14 when I never went any place but school & home and had never been kissed or dated at all.
Her using that term ate me alive with pain, confusion and dissapointment.
Now I think no, I'm a slut not a whore as I don't get paid for sexual services, but I don't really care if someone calls me this name or not.
LOL now the worst name I've been being identified as lately that runs panic and revulsion in me is many keep saying they think I'd be a wonderful Domme. That just creeps me right out and confuses the heck out of me.

Status: offline 		Personally- foul language   "god damm"  - I asked my buddy jenn and jim that i prefer not to hear this when we talk.

In the presence of a female- I feel foul language should be avoided.

The F word, MF,  ccksukr, bitch -and so on.  especially with older generation.

among the best advice i ever got;

My dad always told me- an educated person can express himself with out profanity.  dad [may he rest in peace] is right.

Status: offline 		Its not particularly words that bother me, but what they mean to me.  For example - the general public can call me what ever the like....  it means nothing.  Yet, with Master who knows me so well if he were to say a word here or there.. or even a choice sentence - i would literally flip.  i do not let others so far into my pysche, which creates a barrier to anything that i would find degrading.  Once in, there are several things that could be said that would.

Status: offline 		I would agree with those who said that it's not the word itself; but HOW the word was meant to be interperted.
 
I have been called bitch, cunt, whore, slut, niggerlover,  ( sorry if it offends anyone ), guttertrash,  by some, and taken it in the loving, humorous way it was meant to be taken. And then I have been called those same words and been so insulted and offended because of the way they were used.

Status: offline 		one thing- when walking or bikeriding along a street; in chicagoland people yell out car windows- I suppose this happens in any metro. usually punk kids.
Some drivers dotn recognize that pedestrian have teh right a way. I almost got my azz kicked by a motorist- who was in a hurry to get his car washed- cause I did not stop walking.  i understand in california the ped has the right away- well in illinios the drivers ignore such.


In a small town you can walk the street- seldom, very seldom do passsing cars yell at person walking......

Growing up in my family we were not even permitted to say 'Shut up' so I grew up very unaccustomed to verbal degradation.
I view those that are reduced to using language like that as people lacking in vocabulary, and as people that are angry but unable to verbalize it any other way.
Words do have the power to hurt/degrade, that is why words such as nigger & cunt are considered hateful by so many. I just try to keep in mind that it is coming from a source that can't manage to be creative enough to use other words .

Status: offline 		When I was in high school, I came home from the neighborhood pool one summer day after a guy that was flirting with me threw me in the pool fully clothed.  I wasn't wearing a bra, and my shirt clung to me.  Well my Dad and my best friends Dad were working on the car in the driveway and he asked what happened and I told him.  But as I walked by, he called me to come over to him and he ran his hand down my back to confirm I wasn't wearing a bra.  He called me a slut and that cut me to the core.  Especially because he said in front of my best friends Dad.

The word doesn't bother me at all now, although the only person that uses it with me is the one who owns me. 

I do find it rude, classless, obnoxious and degrading to be around a person who can't carry on a regular conversation without spewing curse words in every sentence.
