It made me think of the only time I've ever heard you say a word I've always thought of as bad, and that was in a lesson in San Jose, and how you could have justified saying it, even tho there wasn't really any apparent way of getting around it.

So since bad words are a no no (if memory serves me, it's even scripturally a no no) there must be a time/place where you can use them, but it seems only when necesary, and in a teaching type invironment.

I'm just going on what I remember here of course.

Which brings up the point, what makes a bad word bad? Is it just local custom, or should a word considered bad in another country be bad for us as well? Particularly a profanity from Great Britan comes to mind which is often used jokingly here in the US.
