Swearing isn't as offensive as it used to be. Society changes. Old newspapers wouldn't print the f-word, but wouldn't have a problem with racial slurs such as paki and coon. Nowadays they will happily print cunt and fuck, but not p-word and c**n.
The UK used to be very "high & mighty" back in the 1960s/70s about being the only country with a "Race Relations Act".
My feeling, after living there for a while in 71/72 as that they were the only country that needed one!
The "P, C, & N words" were widespread amongst the demographic I worked with.
Then there was the "much loved" "Black & White Minstrel Show" on TV, with completely unnecessary "blackface" on the performers, not to mention "Till Death Us Do Part".
Before I went there, I thought Alf Garnett was ridiculously over drawn, but, "bugger me", I'm sure I worked with him!
That, of course, was the English-------Scottish swear words are often incomprehensible, although they can make the word "England" sound like one!
