It is silly to attach undue significance to words. The most notable example is cussing, cursing, cuss words, curse words. These words often carry the sense that they should not be uttered, for their own sake, regardless of circumstance. This is stupid. Today people are increasingly using them for emphasis, as an adverb. "It is so fucking hot out" expresses the same sentiment as "It is really really hot out," and arguably better. Some will retort that these words have connotations that involve something socially taboo. That pretentious dynamic is waning, happily so.

The heart of the matter is that it is the tone and attitude in which one expresses that is important, not which specific word or phoneme is uttered. In the movie Three Men and a Baby one of the dads is found reading a murder recap in the news to the infant, and one of the other dads asks him why he's doing that. He replies in the same tone in which he is reading, "It isn't the story itself that matters, it is how you read it."
