It is permissable by law to use only the amount of force necessary to defend yourself when you can reasonably fear you are in imminent danger of bodily injury or death from another. Reasonably means... it can't be your creative definition but one that a jury of your peers would agree with (i.e. a reasonable person). Imminent means: you are in danger RIGHT THIS SECOND... not an hour from now, or when someone gets home.

There are words and utterances the courts have ruled as "fighting words" that "are inherently likely to provoke a violent response from the audience," such as the phrase F*** You (see N.A.A.C.P. v. Clairborne Hardware Co., Miss., 458 U.S. 886, 102 S.Ct. 3409, 73 L.Ed.2d 1215 (1982)). "Words which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace, having direct tendency to cause acts of violence by the persons to whom, individually, remark is addressed. The test is what persons of common intelligence would understand to be words likely to cause an average addressee to fight." (City of Seattle v. Camby, 104 Wash.2d 49, 701 P.2d 499, 500.).
