It probably should be asterisked, there are some odd random words that are not. I am too lazy to asterisk them after the post is up, I just send it off. Maybe i should be more careful.
We in Canada use that word. If you use it as eg, 'he's a nasty B', then its not so bad. But to say to a person 'you b' straight out is not so polite, cuz its considered a person who F's boys up the A. So its a tricky word. If I hear it too much I start to get upset. But mostly its not too bad. Its actually not that commonly used in my area, which is mebbe why I am more sensitive to it...
I also don't like banal references to my parts. They private.
Take care,
