Casual and frequent use of those words are for people with small minds and even smaller vocabularies. My list of "bad words" includes racial slurs and words like retarded.

She told them that the actual problem was that she had an intelligent sense of humor, and that denigration of others was not a topic mature minds found humor in. I'm pretty sure the response was crickets and eye rolling because they only understood half of what she said and very little of the meaning. At least she tried. <br />Demetri Martin says thing like that are nice little shortcuts telling people "Hey, let's never hang out" (he was referring to bumper stickers, but it applies here, too.)
