Whoa, thats gotta hurt!
What if she called him divine arsehole! Would that be OK?

This is a problem in the U.S. too. I know a professor who got in trouble for the word "niggardly" which has not entomological connection to the "n word" whatsoever. Nor was it used in a racist way. And that's just a drop in the bucket.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
