I am not offended by the use of any word, as bought up by a father that used them regularly became hearing them second nature.
I don’t understand the use of using them, all I feel it shows in most cases, is the inability to express your self in a more logical manner with the use of the wide English language we have to hand.
But saying that I have met a guy that says the occasional swear word in the right context, and in the way he says it with the voice he has I have felt it sounded very sexy.

I think most females dislike the " c " word, and on that basis I never use it in front of women.
The word is also a word that can be used to great effect when anger is involved like....." you fecking cu-t " aimed at somebody.
To use it as Brucie did in the other thread, I would say that constitutes " profanity " which is against the AUP.
Now I know I use the f word on here, but it really is something about the " c " word that most find offensive, and if people on here find it offensive then that is a good arguement for not using it.
I very rarely have seen that word used in the forums and I have been here a while.....blimey even Powers only uses the " fuck " word.

I have often been admonished for the use of the "c" word perhaps folks dont think its ladylike (dont know where they got the idea that I may be a lady from). Personally I find when used in sex talk it can far from offensive to my ears. As a descriptor not particularly effective when applied to a person or persons but then neither is dickhead or tosser. Most sayings have origins and now I am wondering when the use of genitalia slang became acceptable as an offensive terminology.

Some interesting points:
I agree that where used in a sexual way it can be very exciting but thats because of its tabooness. If it it used in everyday common parlance it will mean nothing.
My Father used to only use it when particularly angry and as such always seemed to emphasise the level of the situation.
I have to say I only use it in the bedroom, but then I don't swear a lot anyway.

I must say if we are talking about terms for female genitalia then I would prefer cunt used than pussy *shudders* Cunt seems somewhat earthier and less fluffy.

I don't believe it is possible for a word to be offensive in and of itself. It's all about context. Certainly the C word has been and is still used by men in an oppressive and offensively mysogynistic manner, in the same way that racist words are still used to oppress. This is why I absolutely *do* buy the reclaiming of those words by groups that have previously been victimised by people using those words - you can call me a queer, puff, bender ect all you like, but I call myself that so it's pointless and has no effect. In my case, that is, at the very least, quite liberating after so many years of being hurt by those kind of words used as casual insults.
I'm also not convinced by the 'limited vocabulary' arguments for not using words - there is often no suitable subsitute that carries the exact same meaning as a well-placed profanity
As Billy Connolly rightly pointed out, "tell me the equivalent of "fuck off" and I will happily use it - it certainly isn't "go away."' - while I'd agree that it seems that some people are only able to express themselves through a stream of swearing and little else, that does not mean that I should not be able to use certain words.
Or something. I know what I mean, at any rate

It's kinda like Cunt is at the 'Boudicca' end of the spectrum and pussy is at the other 'Barbie' extremity!
I have a c**t and I occasionally use the word in the bedroom. I don't generally swear, and I use it for effect in the right context. I never use it as an insult, not even in my head, but have become inured to the word with it's overuse in society. I believe it has lost it's impact somewhat, but I still dislike the Pete and Dud (Derek and Clive) sketch, and refuse to watch it, much less publish the link here. Maybe I am a bit of a prude but I can still be filthy with the right person, even if I don't vocalise it.

Communication is 80% body language and 20% other stuff I forget what but your already down to 20% on a forum. I dont find the word anymore or less offensive than other swear words and in written form would have even less effect. Ive worked on building site etc and if anyones received the weekly load of building site text joke on every news story ever written then it becomes pretty hard to find anything offensive.
I don't find the C word itself offensive; I agree it's the context it's used in; whether in anger or during play.
There was a TV programme on a while ago with Germaine Greer exploring the origin of the word and it was enlightening. "Gropecunt Lane" was a common name in many towns and usually referred to the area frequented by prostitutes!

Hi All.
This is from memory so if I'm slightly off...well whatever
The word "Cunt" derives from the Latin word "Cunniform". Other words like "cunnilingus",etc have the same derivation.
This translated means "wedge-shaped". It was shortened in history to Cunny and in more recent history to the word we know and love (or hate).
The BBC did a program on it this year and their conclusion was that the lower classes and the upper class were happy to say/use it, but the middle classes seemed to be offended by it. Make of that what you will.
I like it; it is short and sharp and provokes more reaction (good and bad)than any other word I have ever found.

Yet we don't find the word country offensive so it's not the sound of the word.
Sure it is used as an insult and to be truthful when I mutter to myself I use it at times. A recent edition of Question Time comes to mind. Not that I swear in public, it's more of a private safety valve. But then the word prick can be used as an insult and I don't find that striking at my sense of masculinity. The common words for genitalia can be re-used for insults quite usefully without casting abuse on the genitals in question.
I wish cunt could be neutralised and Germaine Greer made an attempt at it in the 70's. It is a very old word indeed and the word queen comes from the same source. The thing that the word is used for is a beautiful thing so the word should be treated as a beautiful word too.
I suppose in the end it is context that matters. If one uses it respectfully it is one thing. If one uses it abusively it's another. I would be very very careful before using it with a woman.I'd be happy to use it with a woman who was confident with it. But I totally respect women who shrivel up at the sound of it.
We're a complex lot aren't we?
