The UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, has rated every swear word in the English language in order of offensiveness after interviewing viewers to find just how offensive they find a vast array of rude and offensive words and insults.
What Ofcom found was that the following words were seen as mild and okay to use around children: Arse, Bloody, Bugger, Cow, Crap, Damn, Ginger, Git, God, Goddam, Jesus Christ, Minger and sod-off.
Medium and unacceptable before the 9pm watershed included Arsehole, Balls, Bint, Bitch, Bollocks, Bullshit, Feck, Munter, Pissed/pissed off, Shit, Son of a bitch and Tits.
Strong and definitely only acceptable after 9pm are Bastard, Beaver, Bellend, Cock, Dick, Dickhead, Fanny, Flaps, Gash, Knob, Minge, Prick, Punani, Pussy, Snatch and Twat.
Strongest and only to be used very rarely are Cunt, Fuck, Motherfucker.
