That word is an obscenity, a profanity, and we are not allowed to utter such foul and filthy talk from our mouths. We will be questioned as to how we used our faculties, including our mouths, on the Day of Judgement.
We are commanded by Allah to speak good words, and to speak the truth, and He tells us that shaytan is the one who commands to obscenities, and wants us to commit them, whether that be in the words we say or the actions we do:
Dr. Ghali
O you who have believed, do not ever follow the steps of Ash-Shaytan, (The ever-vicious, i.e., the Devil) and whoever ever follows the steps of Ash-Shaytan, then surely he commands obscenity and malfeasance. And had it not been for the Grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, in no way would any of you have been cleansed at all; but Allah cleanses whomever He decides, and Allah is Ever-Hearing, Ever-Knowing. (24:21)
Dr. Ghali
Ash-shaytan (The all-vicious, the Devil) promises you poverty and commands you to obscenity; and Allah promises you forgiveness from Him, and Grace; and Allah is Ever-Embracing Ever-Knowing. (2:268)
Pickthall
He (Shaytaan) enjoins upon you only the evil and the foul, and that you should tell concerning Allah that which you know not. (2:169)
Dr. Ghali
O you who have believed, be pious to Allah, and speak befitting words. (Literally: say a befitting saying) (33:70)
Do we follow Allah or shaytan? I think you have your answer there.
