Taken as a whole, I can see why Hasbro wanted to distance themselves from these words. That's not to say, however, that I agree with the decision. My favorite thing about the OSPD2 definitions is the way they seem to enumerate levels of offensiveness--from none whatsoever all the way up to 'an offensive term.'

Sometimes considered vulgar: pee, piss
Often considered vulgar: bubby
Usually considered vulgar: arse, bullshit, crapper, fart, frig, nooky, shit, twat
Usually considered obscene: cunt, fuck
Often used disparagingly: buckra, jesuit
Usually used disparagingly: jesuitry, papist, popery
Usually taken to be offensive: jigaboo, kike, ofay
A derogatory term: boche, dago, darky, gringo, honkie
An offensive term: mick, nigger, nitchie, sheenie, spic, whitey, wop, yid
And, apparently inoffensive: abo, colored, fatso, goy, haole, hunky, libber, nance, redneck, redskin, shegetz, shiksa, skimo, squaw, turd, wetback
