Words are just sounds. None of them are inherently "bad." Inappropriate maybe, according to their culture or circumstance, but not wicked in themselves.
Take "Dikshit," an honorable Brahmin surname in Hindi, which sounds obscene in English. Take "bitch," the time-honored and proper designation of a female canine in English, but usually insulting when applied to a female human.
Remember, "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Words in themselves have no power unless we give it to them.
