The biggest problem of the American society with all its political correctness, litigiousness, being offended by anything and everything, etc. is that the Russian children's saying "На дураков не обижаюсь" does not have an English language equivalent.

Or does it but fell into disuse?

That's what they say in [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles, but "words will not hurt me" is not exactly "I refuse to be offended".
