Is the C word really that bad?

[Adster]

slipped THE 'C' word the other day, to a few peoples ABSOLUTE disgust.

I then made it worse by trying to justify that its just a word used to emphasise the severity of the person described.

Nope, I was definitely in the bad books.

But why the hell is it seen as being so bad in this modern age when we are surrounded by swear words.

What makes this word such a no no?

Maybe its a Aussie thing that its a shocker of a word here

then US movies dont have much of the word Cunt but Pommy movies are full of it

[tesco]

Who was it that found it so disgusting?
Obviously if you're public speaking in front of a class of students ANY swearing would be frowned upon. :unsure:

[brotherdoobie]

It depends on the the situation, cunt.

Good question actually, I'm sure Wikipedia will know.

Edit:
There is a lot of information on Wiki but it seems to accepted very well in Australia, apparently it's still very offensive in England and even worse in the US of A though. I wouldn't know about the US but in England it's widely used and no one seems to care.

I think it's the nastiest word, depending on the context. I've used it a few times by accident, and it didnt get the best reactiin either.

But, a few of my Southern mates in the uk use it all the time, and i t just passes people by.

I guess it's losing its severity. Like fuck. Once it was a nasty word, now it's in every sentence sometimes with some people. Instead of very, we use fucking. Thats fucking good, and a range of grammatical and comprehensive forms can take.

I guess when the C* word eventually becomes common use, we'll have no shocking words left. We should make some up.

(I thought this was going to be a lame thread about Celtic or summat)

maybe it's bad because it's equally insulting to both sexes. for a guy to be called a cunt, disses his masculinity. for a woman, she comes away feeling bitchy, in addition.

[Adster]

well there was a time Damm and Hell was considered cursing I mean John Wayne was the first ever to use a swear word in a movie saying Damm

I think your right we better find a new swearword!

[jimbo12345]

i think combo's will be the future.

For women, somthing like "you nasty little hooker"

For men, " C* faced gobshite".

Have used both, effect was made.

Spamming Cunt...

[Skweeky]

You should know... it's a big no no in Oz man...

My mate Ryan, who is an absolute sex mad pig, feels insulted when I say it

shut the fuck up you cunt

[Gripper]

My missus has trained me not to say it within her hearing,with repeated blows from heavy instruments.

[Jagarga]

cunt

[Alien5]

[bunny67]

yes it is you cunt

Maybe not.

[jimbo12345]

in yorkshire, it's a the "unt" is a vety agressive tone, makes your face curl up if putting some zest into it.

To me, when southerner Englanders say it, sounds like "cant"

You cant.
Yes i can.

[Skweeky]

There's a word in Dutch 'teef'

Which sounds even worse than 'cunt'


True story

[brotherdoobie]

Is it similar in meaning...to queef?

skweeky, you cunting teef. (hows that rate on the insult scale? 1-not at all - 10-the worst)

Please advise!

[Elvenmunky]

i think it the word 'cunt' is deemed as bad coz of the feminism stuff...if so what about the word 'dick'?

[Barbarossa]

Dick isn't a word it's a name.

Cunt isn't a name. At least, I have never met anyone called Cunt. At least, not officially, loike.

don't be such a bloody cunt :)

[StephG]

It's only a word, so why would anyone be offended by it. However it's also quite amusing watching you use it. You can almost hear the giggling when you hit the enter button and post it.

Look, I said Cunt on the internet :lol: wait till I show Jamie and Dave, they'll really laugh, those madmen.

[jimbo12345]

StephG...you make me horny. Who is Jamie if which you speak? I know Dave. (his names Rodney...shhhh!)

[StephG]

Jamie and Dave are just two generic teenagers on the internet. I actually do know a Jamie in real life. He's not a teenager, but he is a cunt.

Maybe that's why I thought of the name.

It could equally have been Stuart and Ewan.

[jimbo12345]

oh....well, now you know 2 jamies. The new one isn't a cunt imho. Well hung also.

Is that you in the avator? Moody/sultry and sexy in one pic.

[Chip Monk]

oh....well, now you know 2 jamies. The new one isn't a cunt imho.


I'll be the judge of that.

[jimbo12345]

verdict, chip?

[Chip Monk]

Decent spud, if a bit disingenuous.
