This section seems to conflate slurs with abusive language, but the two are separate. "Go to hell" or "fuck you" are meant to insult, and hurtful, but they're not slurs. Likewise, calling someone a traitor is a slur, but not profane, and calling someone an asshole is a profane slur. Calling someone a "greedy Jew" is bigoted slur, but not profane. 23.17.222.202 ( talk) 22:13, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

The opening line claims that profanity is "socially" offensive (socially offensive? what does that mean?), and then gives this as the reference for the claim: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/profanity. The problem is that there is nothing in that reference using the term "socially offensive" or even "offensive." I think this is a poor, somewhat unthoughtful introduction. The article should stick closer to the dictionary meaning rather than WP authors' opinions. I'd like to change it. Objections? Chafe66 ( talk) 07:29, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
