Re: Loaded words replaced by euphemisms

Can anyone truthfully say that replacing the "N-word" with "N-word" really eliminated the N-word? When one hears "N-word," what is the first thing that pops into their head? Or the C-word. or F-word?

And isn't it cute when somebody says, "I was effing pissed!" Sometimes silence is truly golden.
