Americans are truly weird... I agree that such words CAN mean something bad (but I can easily imagine the opposite situation), but that you feel it is more scary than e. g. "Don't move I have a gun" or a thousand other sentences is beyond incomprehensible.
Jan, I have that covered. The last person who said that found that I had a gun too, he did not fair too well. But I as an American am weird. If I were British or Austrailian I would probably be weird too, I'm just that kind of guy, and come to think of it, I like me, just the way God made me.
