Why are words considered bad? Is there anyone who can give me a specific reference to somewhere I can find out what determined Fu** would be a bad word? I understand words relating to body parts... But words about actions? About a fatherless child? Explain please?

People use it as an insulting name to call someone.
The dictionary defines a "nimrod" as a hunter (look it up.) Also, a guy named Nimrod in the Bible (Genesis) is described as a mighty hunter. Nowhere can I find it to mean you are stupid. It looks like those misusing the word "nimrod" are the ones that are stupid. What's up with that?

Idioms and phrases would be great. No cliches. It can also refer to it, like hell's kitchen or scolded. All temperatues: hot, cold, cool, warm/lukewarm. This is for research for my main character's catch phrases for my novel. Have fun. The most in the list wins hands down.
