How does a word become a curse?

A word can become a curse depending on how that word or phrase is used. For example, if you were to say 'i dislike you', you could mean it in a jokey sort of way, or in a rude, harsh way. Also, certain words have specific letters in that make the word sound mean. Like if someone said a word like 'squishy' or 'silly' you would feel happy and jokey with them. But if the person used a word with harsh syllables, like 'hate' or 'stink', you could feel as though the other person is being mean etc to you.
