Without at all answering your question, and on an entirely unrelated note, why hasn't "fag" become more parts of speech in English? "Fuck" is so versatile, from verb to noun to adjective to adverb to interjection to pronoun...

Probably because of the moralfags.

Because it based on petty bigotry rather than wholesome sexual abandon.

"Fuck" isn't obscene any more, according to the FCC. ;)

The "N" word has replaced it as the most offensive word in the English language.

Really? It seems a bit too specific to one country to be the most offensive word in the whole English language.

American English, then.

I voted up both Konkvistador's response and wedrifid's response above, and now I feel vaguely guilty.
