there are no good words. there are no bad words. words are amoral. words can be correct or incorrect, grammatically and contextually. words can be well-said or well-put or poorly stated. words can be used as insult or praise, but that’s decided by syntax and word choice. 

words may be inappropriate or insensitive, but this is wholly dependent on context. words in and of themselves carry no moral value. there are words that grown ups use and words that children use. again, context. 

words are units of speech - sounds. that’s all they are. so there is inherently no difference in moral value between ‘shit’ and ‘ship,’ ‘ass’ and ‘asphalt,’ ‘fuck’ and ‘front door.’ this is why i love words. words are neutral grays. the world is not inherently black and white, black and white are meanings we subjectively assign to objects, ideas and behavior. words are the wrapper, the message is the candy. don’t be offended by the wrapper, it’s the candy that deserves the attention. also, candyass is an awesome word.
