Have you ever used the C-word ?

[tp4tissue]

Living in 'Murica,  we don't hear the C-word "ever".. 

So

TBH,  I don't even know how to use it..


I've noticed the British use the C-word similarly to how 'Murica would use the B-word..


Is the B-word = C-word  in the UK ?


Any Americans here ever put the C-word to legitimate use?    If so,  could you please type out the sentence/ context...

Yeah I called a lady a **** once because she was on her ****ing cell phone and almost hit me.

Also, Aussies say **** a lot not Brits.

[tjcaustin]

Yeah I called a lady a **** once because she was on her ****ing cell phone and almost hit me.

Then, she murdered him dead.

Brits totally say it, too.

[tp4tissue]

Yeah I called a lady a **** once because she was on her ****ing cell phone and almost hit me.

Was this a natural reaction  @ the time..   as in did the word, naturally rise to the surface and you said it..


Or did you have to pause for a second, and deliberate the right term to describe her vehicular ineptitude.

[demik]

Natural. I really really hate people that are on their cell and driving. It's my number 1 pet peeve and often times I hope for the worst thing to happen to them. So **** becomes natural.

[dante]

Brits like to throw around "Yank."

This is about as effective an insult as the reliability of their cars.

Yank isn't an insult. It's shorter than saying freedom loving American. One word > three

I've never heard anyone say Yank, EVER. LOLOL

A hundred years ago, "c u n t" was in common usage and not even particularly vulgar, approximately on the level of "c o c k"

It is practically scientific, derived from Latin, and refers to a part of the female body.

But, today, in the US at least, is is rarely used anatomically but rather, almost exclusively, as a personal insult.

And, as my logical daughter succinctly reminded me recently, "calling a  d i c k  a  d i c k  is a lot different from calling a person a  d i c k"

[nubbinator]

I say crap all the time.

[fanpeople]

Being in Australia, I can confirm that the C word is a common occurrence. I regularly call my wife the C word (jokingly) but try not to use it in public. Others are much more liberal with their use of C word.

I believe it is used as a filler during sentence construction for example.....


Hey ***** whats for dinner

or

Look at that bunch of ****'S

or my **** battery died now I have to walk to work.

[Lain1911]

I have no idea what you are talking about and I'm glad it's censored.

[demik]

C u n t

C u next time?

My vocabulary is limited. Its all I know when swearing .. Lol /joking

Avoid saying CVNT as much as possible due to women listening in, which could back fire upon you big time in a public place.   Even though I'm a Rock-ape with no manners whatsoever, my Mrs shall sometime's get really pissed with her mates then it's the "C" word in every sentence.  A group of women all screaming the "C" word as the walk down the street, so fvcking proud to be an Aussie.

In fact I love her even more when she starts talking like absolute filth, gets me so hard.......... 

[Air tree]

I call Rush Limbaugh a **** all the time, it's only fitting.  )


I don't really use the word in any context as a derogatory term for women, though.

[tbc]

in vancouver, it's pretty much the worst word for a girl.  much much worse than *****; quite possible literally 100x

[noisyturtle]

Are you kidding me? **** is like THE most fun word to say. It's really about that hard K and T sounds that make it so phonetically pleasing. Just try saying '**** Punter' without a smile, IMPOSSIBLE! Just say it. ****. ****i **** **** )

Furthermore if you live in AU, **** is really an endearing term. Heck it's endearing over in England depending on the situation. In fact,  it was originally a medical term/the correct and respectful word for vagina, not an insult. Doctors used "****" rather than "vagina," with "vagina" being considered the vulgar word of the two.

Anywhoo, it shouldn't be any more or less offensive than calling someone a '****' and the only country (****ry?) on the planet that takes major offense to it is America because once again we expect the world to walk on eggshells for our special snowflake sensibilities and change their customs to what fits our moral standards. At any rate say ****, say it proud, say it over coffee or tea, with friend or foe. It's a wonderfully versatile and pleasing word!

Twat and **** are both brilliant words to say. And they both mean the same awesome thing !

The UK and Australia have so many great words that I have missed out on...

Namely: ****, Git, Twat, Knob, Mate, Ect...

Ps. 'Cheeky' is a nice word, also...

[baldgye]

Wanker

[Air tree]

Wanker

Oi, you cheeky ****, piss off.

****ing hell, baldgye, you really got me brassed off, mate.


I don't know what I'm doing...

[absyrd]

My brother's girlfriend is a real country music star.

[bueller]

Never.

[demik]

I hate the word cheeky. Wtf does it even mean? Silly?

[absyrd]

I always equated it with "corny". Dunno.

[Usarise]

I call my friends a bunch of [insert slur here] pretty often.  Sometimes cvnt makes it into that spot.  Though I will say in 'murrica i've heard:
https://youtu.be/yJIydD7ULz8?t=22
more often. :v
*fix'd for truth kek

[Oobly]

And:

Proof that they definitely say it in Aussieland.

When growing up in South Africa it was considered the worst of the worst words to call a woman and to use it in common speech was... just not cricket.

I hate the word cheeky. Wtf does it even mean? Silly?

It means naughty in a cute way... like doing something you're not allowed to, but getting away with it because you're a charmer.

And then there's "having a cheeky Nando's"... which is a bit harder to explain.

[Oobly]

But you can't say **** in Canada:

[Halverson]

But you can't say **** in Canada:

Uh oh, I'm the worst Canadian

[baldgye]

Nando's is ****.

[JaccoW]

The Dutch **** versus the English **** - Like a Sponge.

**** is funny to use. Then again if we really wanted to insult someone we call them a cancer-suffering ****.

[Oobly]

Nando's is ****.

Good adverts, though, at least in South Africa:

[baldgye]

Nando's is ****.

Good adverts, though, at least in South Africa:

Some of my former m8s would rave bout it. went once with them, had a **** over-priced meal. Just over priced nasty bits of chicken and some chips.

-11/10

[paicrai]

yeah

[swimmingbird]

Here in Australia, the c-word is pretty common - I hear it probably at least once a day and I live in a well to do area and work in downtown Sydney

[Fire Brand]

Nando's is ****.

Just had a friend explain how nandos chicken is cheeky I didn't have a clue and the explanation made it even worse O.O

[paicrai]

Nando's is cheeky.

It introduced me to the piri-piri/bird's eye chili, I love it for that. One of my favorite peppers.

[abswyfe]

I've told my husband I'd replace his strawberry popsicles with period popsicles, but I would never use the c word
My mom would slap the **** out of me when I said it as a kid and I guess the lesson was learned

Why are you so mean to absyrd? Poor fella

[abswyfe]

I'm not we just have a sick sense of humor and like to **** with each other. 

[abswyfe]

My brother's girlfriend is a real country music star.

There has to be another word on a higher level then that to describe her.

Nah bro, it just happens to be perceived as harsher in the US than elsewhere. Language differs from region to region, it doesn't really have a moral component to it. There are plenty of situations in the UK and AU where saying **** would be majorly jarring, and plenty here in the US where it is accepted and normal.

In answer to OP, I don't think I've ever used the word casually or in anger. To my ear it sounds very British and/or Australian and is part of the flavor of those dialects of English. I hear dozens of ****s and ****s every week at work and among friends, but almost never a ****.

[demik]

maybe the **** knows its place and keeps quiet?

[abswyfe]

O you're sexist too?

Get on your knees ***** and bow to me.

[demik]

i never applied a sex to the word ****, so are you?
