i dunno, nyingen, i recall that gamer video guy PewdiePie shouting "oh you N!" on his game stream, not at, or referring to, a black person, just as a rage word. like "what the f--k" has nothing to do with sexual intercourse

I used to swear a lot, but now I pretty much don't. I found that not swearing makes my swear words more powerful when they occur, lol

i am quite sweary partly picked it up from one Londoner whose colourful turns of phrase made me laugh... and partly i think in school days to try to indicate that if i was a nerd at least i wasn't the prissy/pious kind

While it's true that almost any profane word can be used as an intensifier, that N word brings in a slew of connotations that the others do not

nyingen (10:44:33)
"nigger" has a very specific meaning, whereas "shit" does not

nyingen (10:44:09)
Mm, but that's different

mirrorbird (10:43:51)
not sure how you defined "profane" in your word survey (to me that suggests religion, e.g. "oh Christ!"). but the n-word is clearly the one that will get you in most trouble. way beyond what c-word can do

nyingen (10:43:18)
zoi: Yes, swear words "depend on context", but that's the whole point, that's what makes them swear words as opposed to normal words

All my life I had been looking forward to visiting it. But then I got there and...

No offence to any australian sceners, but I really dislike Australia. It was a complete and total let down
