it's not the words themselves, it's the use of said words and the attitude behind them. A verbally abused wife or child would hate those words, yes, but in order for it to be verbal abuse they must have been used in a harmful way. Someone in a movie saying "put that shit in my hand" isn't trying to harm anyone, so the words are just words.
