Excuse me?  Since when is it not polite to refrain from abusing other
people's beliefs?  What Nikolai objected to was a violation of one of the
10 commandments.  While the particular wording wouldn't necessarily offend
Jews, it certainly offends the intent of the law.  It is NOT a "perfectly
normal English word", and while I freely admit it sprinkles my daily usage,
I would never write it in such a way in a public forum.

It certainly offends the intent of _this_ forum to claim to be insulted by
someone asking (quite politely) that people refrain from saying such
things.
