I honestly don't understand what the issue is and I am a girl, it's just a word, albeit a great word, but still just a word.

I think men who are admonished by the women in their lives for using the word should realise that two can play at that game. Simply because I have noticed most women who are horrified by it's use have no issue with calling men pricks, knobs etc. It's a double standard also it would be very funny to see a womans reaction to a fella throwing a hissy fit because she used the p word .

Go for it lads, if only for the craic.

Don't do cunt kids.

Edit: That could be misinterpreted. I meant it like the "Don't do meth" adverts...

It doesnt sound right when you use it for what it actually is.

It sounds better as an insult.

"Ye stupid kunt"

"You have a nice kunt"

HalloweenJack

I love it. I find it to be the best word for expressing anger. I always love how some people get so offended by it.

Slightly off topic, but it's funny how many of our swearwords have sexual origins:

Cunt
Wanker
Prick
Dick
Tosspot
Fucker

The rest seem to be toilet related.

...

Are we repressed????

Calling people and objects various words for genitalia is a pastime of mine.

How he pronounces the word twat is the only offensive thing in this thread.

amacachi

It's an excellent word for so many situations. In an emergency it's brilliant, one syllable and sounds gutteral with the "nt" at the end.

Or you could just growl at the end of twat.

Nothing better than telling a kunt he is a kunt

Wetai

I don't use it in an insulting manner, just as a normal word/messing with someone.

And I agree with this, words (especially swears) are only as bad as you make them.

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

I have an english friend who visits from time to time, and hates that word. Myself and most of my mates use it all the time and think nothing off it. Seriously tough to try and avoid it any time she takes a trip to Ireland. She bounces off the walls any time someone drops the C-bomb.

Hannibal Smith

I hate it.

battser

One of my ex's actually loved when I called her a kunt in bed :rolleyes: Needless to say she was indeed a keeper.....

Yanks really hate it :P

I got told off by a chick for using it once. Then I said it again and she called me a dickhead. I told her off. Bitch.

"A funny cunt" is always a term of endearment I used long before I ever heard cunt was meant to be this terrible thing to say. Everyone I hang around with uses the word the whole time and I really don't get what peoples problem is, stupid cunts

Remmy

I am an orrible cun't...

kfallon

Love it! Can't go an hour without using it (usually multiple times)

Even use it as a term of affection, "Go on outta that ya mad cunt!"

Vanbis

I was in LA with a girl and her friends and we were in the car on the way back from the Off licence ( liquor store ) for a new years party. I used the C word infront of 5 girls. It just came out. I think thats when it started to fall apart with herself

Eh we are 'au fait' with the term 'Off Licence' you know and in fact we are more used to that than 'liquor store'......you're not in LA now boyo

Well maybe you are but your target audience aren't

I think it should be acceptable to use it in a car though, especially at motor cyclists!

That's the only place I use the word myself.

I always find myself using it when i have a bit of road rage.

I like to precede it with the word malignant for added effect....i.e.

She's a malignant cnut!!!

ITS A HUGELY OFFENSIVE WORD . IT ACTUALLY TURNS MY STOMACH AND I CAN TURN THE AIR BLUE WITH WITH BAD LANGUAGE SOMETIMES , BUT NEVER EVER THAT WORD . STRONG FEELINGS I KNOW , BUT THERE YOU GO

Helix

its a great word, however it doesnt really have the same meaning in ireland as it does over here in north america. over here it's classed as a derogatory word towards women, in ireland it's used for men, women, dogs, televisions, stones, kerbs and just about anything else. as well as being an adjective for particularly colourful use

up until relatively recently it used to be a perfectly viable medical terms too, believe it or not

oranbhoy67

In Glasgow where im from its not always used as an insult.. we use it all the time even as a compliment ie " that cnut i met in the pub last night was a sound cnut".

El Guapo!

I use it easily about 50 times a day! I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I like it. That's malignantly cuntfaceishly cool.

I don't use it but I don't really curse in general when I speak. I have no problem with it though and it doesn't bother me if other people say it.

I work with a person who yes has cancer. At the moment he is still working, but nobody, I mean absolutely nobody will mention the really BIG C word in his company.

prettygurrly

hate it hate it hate it. been on a campaign to stop people saying it. it's the only curse word i cant stand.

and the previous poster, tis hard to say that c word too but once people talk about it the easier it gets.

baltimore sun

great word, use it all the time, it's got so much depth of feeling to it. Probably one of my favourite English words, that and bastąrd. I've been known to add an auld "ing" onto the end of the c word too and a "bag" on to the end of it.
So you may be called a stupid cúnting whore of a cúntbag.
Love swearing, tis like adding salt and pepper to the lingo.

Marcusm

I had one great experience with this word about 10 or so years ago. Was living in London working in an accounting firm and out in a wine bar (v London, doncha know) with 5 women who all worked for me. One of them complained about one of the other guys in the office and I said, "what a surprise, after all he's just a stingy ****". Gasps from all but one of them - a lady from Foxrock who came out with the classic "I don't know what you're all getting offended at, Irish people regard it as a gender neutral curse".

Of course, the English and many less enlightened don't quite see it this way.

I had to lighten the humour and explain that we didn't get offended at their regular discussion of gee qt lunch - for them of course ghee is the butter used in Indian food. For the twO of us it was a product of a different odour altogether.

As if it'd make the slightest bit of difference to the guy if they did. People are stupid.


I use **** all the time. I'm trying to use it less so it has more effect. Have no idea how people can be insulted or enraged by it.

I do like to mix it up with -bag or -face etc. Fun

True I sometimes think the reason is we to are afraid of it and when someone has it who is in front of us it brings it a little closer to reality.

As far as I can see it's because people haven't a clue of the details,prognosis etc. They don't know what's involved,and perhaps rightly they're afraid to ask. Maybe its down to cancer being next to an automatic death sentence before advances were made,and so it's not something you should discuss. Anyway completely off topic

I've never heard anyone pronounce twat as 'twot' before, have no problem saying cunt. So many of our swear words come from slang words for genitalia anyway. As a woman I don't see where the issue is in saying cunt when it was originally used as a word for our sex organs.

Why is it so shocking/taboo to say?
