Saying "F-Word" or "N-Word" is just as bad as saying the real thing, since the audience still understands what you are implying.
We try to diminish the shock of saying an racial or profane term by creatively masking the word. However the bottom line is that the people who are listening still get the gist of what you are saying. Maybe there isn't the "OMG! He Said WHAT!!" response, but the person who heard it in their head still says the original, unmasked word.
If someone called me a "F-ing Idiot," I would be just as insulted as if he called me the real thing - since I know exactly what he's trying to tell me. Is the "-ing" someone going to make me feel better about being called an idiot? Who's being fooled here?
So not only is the person an ignorant, racist, jackass, but he/she is also too prideful to realize it.
My dad always told me the only thing worst than a stupid person, is a prideful stupid person.
