Not true. There's a very good reason these words are socially unacceptable. (at times) These words are, in their original use, associated with hatred and anger, and are therefore offensive. Of course, they are also used for humor, sarcasm, etc., but these are only useful in those situations because of the offensive nature of the words. When some people want to show that they are very angry, they will swear. If they want to show how much they hate something/someone, they will swear. That's why they are curse words, that's why they are offensive.
There's a huge difference between saying, "Your girlfriend is such an annoying and demanding person." and, "Your girlfriend is such a *****."
