Once upon a time, those words weren't swearing, just a regular part of everyday speech (assuming that was what you were talking about!) Then the Victorians invented the concept of "bad words" mainly so they could get a thrill from breaking the taboo they had just created.
There are topics that small children aren't ready to understand and the words involved are inappropriate for conversation with those kids; whether short words are used or long scientific ones makes no difference. Religious topics will offend adults and they'll have special words that trigger that, even (or especially) when not used in a religious context. Some persons of African ancestry get offended by a large number of words that just imply "dark".
But pink bunny slippers are just unforgivable. "Pink" is a color reference offending all African-Americans, "Bunny" is a sexual reference (implying over-eagerness to breed) and "Slippers" are offensive to Muslims.
