Bad Words

The stupidest fucking thing ever. If you’re actually offended by this, you’re a fucking pussy. I don’t know how people aren’t pretending or exaggerating when they react to this, and the people who say “iT’s DiSrEsPeCtFuL” can easily be disproven by “I respect the fuck out of you”. I just don’t fucking understand why people make a huge deal out of this. And I guess if you are saying a bad word in every sentence, it sounds weird but I’m not fucking getting my feelings hurt over it, it just doesn’t make sense to me and I will never understand this.
Me:”Oh Fuck
Guy: “You shouldn’t say bad words, it’s disrespectful!”
Me: “You’re a fucking pussy
