add your own below..

Shythawk I use almost daily. I think that 'gusset' has a nice ring to it. I also like the words guttersnipe, bousy and wastral. All of them have roughly the same meaning, but can be delivered as an insulting or jokey term depending on intonation of the voice, the latter two at least.

It's a word that makes me very judgemental about someone's IQ and upbringing!

So you automatically judge people who say cunt as having low IQ and a bad upbringing, or a high IQ and good upbringing, or a combination of both? I'd a good upbringing, and according to the last IQ test I'm slight above average (but how accurate they are I will always question, intelligence can't be measured the same in different people imo), and I'm pretty sure cunt is one of my most used curses, up there with fuck tbh!

C*nt, best word in the English language even better that some people get so wound up by it’s usage (it’s a common everyday word in my part of the country it’s only in recent years I realised how “bad” it’s considered by some people.

This is an article worth a gawk. Cùnt is a word ripe for repossession by the female of the species, sharing an etymology with queen, and possibly harbour.

As for the initial question, I'm on a one woman mission to resurrect Groovy. It's such a groovy word.

Feck. Looks like one has to rewrite the letters c u n t into the Url to reach the groovy article.

It's not my favourite word either (right up there with 'moist'), but :rolleyes: would you judge someone with...

• IQ: Genius level 140 (brilliant on more than one level, most woud say)
• Education: Juliard
• Upbringing: in a prestigious household

Robin Williams, RIP

revealed it was his favourite curse word, in the Pivot Questionnaire on Lipton's Actors Studio (all RW's youtube references have been deleted, otherwise I would provide the link)

I think you might have it wrong, if this is the one you're talking about:

Host : What's your favorite word?

Robin Williams : Cloaca. It's a real word. It exists because it's, uh, only certain bugs have it. It's a combination asshole and vagina. Next to that I think "abbondanza" is a great word.

Host : What's your least favorite word?

Robin Williams : ****. Least favorite word because it's so negative. It's the one word that'll get me kicked out of the house. I once let it fly, it was like

[mimes door slam and makes noise]

Robin Williams : , okay, that was it, bye, bye-bye.

Thank you PM, my mistake! I remembered incorrectly and couldn't find the vid.

Potential-Monke

As much as I would have loved for that to be his favourite word, it's still not far off. One could consider his favourite even worse. If you call someone a Cloaca, you're saying they're both a a$$hole and a cnut!

Yeah and make no bones about of it. I particularly dislike the word and the sense that it comes from a half-educated squaddie but each to their own. It's not that I don't use expletives but I am always mindful of who is around me. It's that lack of awareness that is more an issue. An acquaintance of mine in HR took six months to remove it from a workplace amongst a group of warehouse workers and drivers after a lot of complaints. It never dawned on them the word bothered anyone else.

When someone quotes IQ in relation to anything I immediately jump to the conclusion that they are a:


Gobshite - one of my favourite words.

Yes, I know. Fukcing awful thing to do to a child. They were left with life long health problems as a result, not to mention it robbed them of their sexuality.

Poofed

I remember an old English teacher explaining onomatopoeia to us. She was talking about it lovingly and looking into the distance, she said something like 'The snowflake...poofed..off the windsowsill." She said it was a beautiful way to use words. We all thought she was nuts.

Just came across the word Quaintrelle

It's kind of pretentious and could be del boyish. I've no idea how to use it in a sentence? Is it an insult? Is it a compliment? Is it an Instagram model?
