Just to be clear, /my/ view of these two terms in the context of how they were used are as follows:
<Deleted>
The fact that these terms also relate to body parts is totally irrelevant.
But their unnecessary use is still needlessly offensive. The words may be in common use by those who don't care about elderly parents, children, grandchildren etc. but it still doesn't mean that usage should be looked upon as acceptable in public forums, where the age and sensibilities of the reader can be so broad, and impossible for the sender to know in advance. If it is the sort of language that you wouldn't want your kids using in kindergarten, it really doesn't belong on luv-talk either. That's /my/ two cents worth anyhow. Morrie.
