I usually find those substitute words that Americans often use instead of proper swear words more offensive than the originals, maybe because the practice somehow assumes that the words themselves are inherently offensive and a slightly different one which obviously is meant as a 1:1 substitute, somehow isn't? Heck, you can substitute whichever letters in any freaking cuss words you like, isn't Jebus still going to know and will let you barn in heck for epernity like the girty dastard you are?
I find it even more aggravating when people say "F-word", or worse, "F-bomb" - that gives me cancer. Really, I find it deeply offensive, it's insulting the listeners' intelligence, so don't use it.
I'm not quite as horrified about ppl saying "N-word" because it is a racist slur directed against a certain group. Also, as a kraut cracker I'm not in the in-group and have white nazi guilt or something.
