I imagine age does have something to do with it. Along with other cultural factors.

A lot of these words have lost a lot of their sting over the years. I sometimes have a hard time avoiding them without realizing it, though a message board is far easier than a chat. The sh word is something I wouldn't even blink at and the adverbial form of the f word is pretty light these days, I think. I've heard that, many years ago, saying something "sucks" would have been equivalent to those two. Same goes for "idiot", which used to be a technical term for those with mental disabilities. I personally am very uncomfortable hearing the word "retarded" used as an insult, but a lot of people don't even think about it.
all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us...
