Personally, I think the word "offensive" is overused in our society.
Everyone has to be 'offended' when there are plenty of great words out there
that would better describe a person's feelings/reaction to something.

Look at this list of unwanted, orphaned words that never get used any more:


Chafed
Vexed
Nettled
Irked (personal favorite)

Thanks, Jim, for interjecting some much-needed humor - and sense. You
are entirely correct; and 'vexed' (one of my favorites in spoken use)
is probably closer to the truth :)
