Mainly those who are indeed somewhat shocked (usually due to some still active puritan heritage) actually think that such words were meant to &quot;make the article more &#x27;shocking&#x27;&quot;.<p>The rest don&#x27;t even blink when we see them -- especially from countries without a history of a prudish outlook on things.<p>One can see people getting slashed with knives and shot in the head on PG13 movies -- words like these are nothing compared to that.
