Some are, yes. Think of some and look them up. The question is difficult because it is not always clear what makes a bad word bad. Sometimes the passage of time and the general usage of words from culture to culture play a big role in deciding what words are 'bad'. For example, the word piss appears in the King James version of The Bible. If you were having tea with Queen Elizabeth and started throwing around the word piss, my guess is that they would be throwing you out.
