I don't understand why some words are considered to be intrinsically offensive. Surely the implication of offence depends on the context in which the word is used? For example, if I stub my toe and say "shit", why is this offensive? I am simply expressing pain or frustration. However, if I call some "a piece of shit", my intention is clearly to offend them, hence the word is offensive in that context.
So, to answer the question: I often use the words 'shit', 'fuck' and 'bollocks' for emphasis or to express frustration and I don't see a problem with that. I would only use them with reference to a person if my intention was to offend them or to express disdain.
