Best Answer

When a normal word is used offensively, it can be called a weapon, very much the same as simple tool like a knife or a hammer is used as a weapon to hurt others.

Using words as weapons is often called swearing, but the term is barely adequate because the verb to swear also means to make a solemn statement or promise, or to take an oath of office.
