why does this word (rymes with hunt) create so much controversy, women hate it even if they use every other word under the sun, guys use it but generally not around the misses, and if guys here it come from the mouth of a female they are usually shocked aswell, even ozzie gets into hot water with sharon for this inssurection

what do you think of this ace of curses and why is it considered so offensive?

YOU MEAN

CRUNCH!


YUMMY

Cunt.

i usually only use that word when speaking of my boss...

the word itself is not offensive to me...

but it depends on the context I suppose...


...thought ya knew!!...

lust said:

yes but

how many ways can u work the c

(just cant resist)

seriously tho why is this word so much more offensive than pussy, minge, twat, twot, beaver, front bottom, flange, bearded axe wound, muff, bush, punani, pudenda, growler etc etc when they mean the same thing

cunt.



It doesn't bother me.

in my opinion

and this is just me now

cunt

how do i say it

wedches up there like a frontal verbal wedgy

cunt

cccuuunnntt

its like sally

and mellon

oh

nevermind

shausler said:

i think the best curse is, now i want you to try this out by shouting it real loud and thinking of your boss or someone you hate "FUCK OFF BOLLOX YOUR A CUNT"

or this "FUCK YOU YOU MC CUNTY FUCKITY MC CUNTY FUCK"

i find this second one particularly theraputic

"twat", sure. "cunt", nah.

i just don't like the way "cunt" sounds...it just sounds like grody...

Sorta like prick.

There is nothin wrong woth the "C" word.

I thought this was a tribute thread to me

Vaginas-r-us,...are they listed?

It carries a far different weight In the US. In The UK it is used more freely. Here, it just is

The C word is a bad word.

Paisley said:

Sooo true.

SuperC said:

Dont forget about the thread I dedicated to you, dont feel bad.

I dont mind the word unless I am

being called one!

I think it's a fab word, and should be used at every possible opportunity.

i actually think it's one of my fave words...especially when i'm using it to describe someone i REALLY don't like...when i'm really pissed off its a great word to yell out!!! second only to fuck...

Come to think of it... the scene in Saturday Night Fever, where Tony (John Travolta) calls Annette (Donna Pescow) a "Cunt"... would NOT have had the impact that it did if any other word were used.

lust said:

"growler"?? :O Never heard that one

Anyway, I notice that no one is answering the question! I'd like to know the answer myself WHY is it so bad?

I'd be as offended by it as I would being called a bitch or a whore or a twat. :X It does sound more harsh, but that could be b/c of the associations put on it. Hell, it could be sexy if said the right way by the right person...

Somebody answer the "why" of it, please
