Over the last year I made a conscious effort to modify my language and eliminate, as far as possible offensive swear words.
My new phrase that I now is a simply one - I simply say swearywords swearywords !!
I find say that helps enormously.

Unfortunately I now finding that the term is more often being used to denigrate someone for simply having a different opinion

I thought that calling someone a snowflake meant they are "really cool"

I believe that the term came from a meeting of students who got offended and were described to have "melted like snowflakes".

In which case, shouldn't they just be referred to as 'drips'

We had a teacher at school Looooong ago who taught us that only uneducated folks needed to swear, he said that a swear word was an adjective and if you could not use a proper adjective to get your meaning across so used a swear word, you were in the uneducated category ?

(But by saying that, am I contradicting myself? )
