there was a programe on ages ago about swearing and how kinds thought some words where more offensive than otheres, like the c word, it used to be a perfectly fine thing to say but now its used as an offensive word to hurt people, i mean you couldnt exactly go "oi ya vagina" to someone, it wouldnt have the same offensive effect.
A lot of its to do with how things are ment, and the tone its said in, maybe its ok for you and friends to joke about and call each other thoese words, but if your walking down the street and someone starts swearing at you for no reason, it can be really upsetting.
but hey we are not even allowed to go bah bah black sheep anymore because its offensive to blakc people. Now its rainbow sheep and oh, that might be offensive to gay people.
