I think Tattie Bogle is quite correct. The words themselves are perfectly valid......the trouble arises when these words are used as terms of abuse or as Tattie pointed out as shock tactics by some on stage performers.   Jim speculates that these words are in every day usage among working class people, but thankfully that usage is diminishing, but in so called modern comedy the misuse of language is increasing alarmingly.
