Rog,

Chill! Women don't want to be abused any more than men do... S&M types notwithstanding. Any self respecting gal that allows her boyfriend, husband or significant other to call her such names probably uses similar terms in return. The body language should tell you the intent not the words themselves. True it seems a bit foreign to me too. I mean if I would have come home and said to my ex...yo ***** whazz up... I don't think I would have lived through the night... but that was then and this is now so I guess...it's all good... if you're still a kid anyway:-)
