The c word...

xoxyx

Do you use it? You know the one I mean (and it's not coconut).

It, along with the n word, were the two I would never use, but I just found myself calling the tv a c*** when it froze. It slipped out so easily - I can't believe it! I blame my friend from Monaghan - she says it all the time and it's slipping into my vocabulary. Can't wait 'till it leaks out in work! :eek:

Then again, what's the big deal? It's just a word, and there's no reason for it to offend anybody (depending on how it's used...).

Whatcha think???

I cook nude!!

See you next tuesday. It's a powerful word.

Someone once said it's the only word that could have a hard drinking, tough as old boots Liverpool Docker reeling in shock.

hardCopy

Over-rated. It's just another curse as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand why people dislike it so much.

TPD

All the time. Even as an adjective, by adding the -ing suffix.

'Tis a right cunt of a thread and no mistake....

Shane St.

pickarooney

If anything, I overuse it.

Definitely something to do with the harsh sound of it.

No better curse.

I blame moving to Sligo for my use of it. Never heard it often before moving there, and never used it my self. Think its a horrible disgusting word to be honest, but every so often, it slips out.

It's a great word to hear your pensioner mother use.

What's the N word?

Immaculate Pasta

I rarely use it. Then I rarely swear so :cool:

brummytom

Yeah, it's a brilliant word

hidinginthebush

I think people with an issue with it are being right cunts.

foxyboxer

That's a great swearword marriage.

Meh, it's only an insult if you let it offend you!

xoxyx

Dunno why I respected it so much before tbh. It's a good forceful word alright. Would be worried about using it too much though and it losing its effectiveness and then I'd become the person known for saying it all the time.

flutterflye

No, I try not to curse much at all because it becomes habit so easily, and don't like saying stuff infront of the kids.

But so far as that word goes - I have absolutely no idea why anyone makes such a big deal about it.
It's just a word.

I personally hate the word gash.
I just hate how it sounds.
I don't find it offensive.

Really, why do so many people get their knickers in a twist about the word c*nt??

stovelid

Not to mention the insulting variations:

Cuntbag

Cuntflap

Cuntishness

Cunticity

Cuntbubble

etc

Christ, it's just a word, yes it's a word that you need to be mindful of present company for when you use it but it's just another word at the end of the day.

I've used it as an adverb, describing someone's actions as cnutish.

most women find it very offensive -> I love most women => I don't use it

Why would moving to Sligo put you in mind of cunts all the time?

CucaFace

Best word out there.

I even have a spanish (South American) version of it in my username.

bronte

All the time. I have no idea why people have such an issue with it.

xoxyx

Yikes! So, that's a firm yes on cunt then!!

I honestly don't think some people I know (my boss for example) would be capable of saying the word.

I don't know what it is about the word. For me, it generates an awful graphic image now that I'm actually discussing it!

The word was invented here in Sligo in 1776, that's why we use it so much. It was a trappist monk in the old Abbey by the name of Brother Jasper Cúnt who used to sell beer in the Market Yard. It was very popular until the day he accidentally mixed the sewage water into the beer instead of the fresh water thus the phrase was coined "he made a right cúnt of that". Brother Jasper is also responsible for the words "Minge", "Bollíx" and "Fúcksocks"

I'm nearly sure I read this somewhere.

Cos alot of the people I met here, use it on a daily basis.

I used to curse pretty much every sentence. Then I spent a month in California and a month in Hawaii. Honestly no one curses like the Irish, after a day I was like "ok, have to stop cursing", they look at you like you've just said "I like to eat dead babies" if you say ****. te hee:D like it's funny to shock them a couple of times but then you just feel bold and silly and childish, so yeah America pretty much sorted out my swearing. Might start again though..... f*ckity f*ck

I used to use it a lot. Most of the time it was to describe one race horse I had to ride at work. I even tried to get her named as "C U Next Tuesday".
Since I left racing I never say it any more.
It really is a very bad word.
