You ****!

I hate the 'C' word I find it terrible as swearing goes. It is something I can only recall using twicw and that's something i'm not proud of. I hate seeing it's use in the chatroom too, though it does seem to happen all to often.
It seems that as to the rest of the swear words. They seem to just trip off peoples tongues or into the written/typed easily now. Swearing has really lost it's 'real' meaning and is now just an exclamation I think.
Germaine Greer once quoted something like
"use the word C*** sparingly as it is the only word left in the English language that still has the ability to shock!"
I feel Germaine greer had a point. Will it be no too long before there are no words that remain ? I suppose one could say that the new could be the un 'pc' stuff to do with racist or sectarian type insults?

Swearing - it's big AND it's clever!

I have to admit.... I'm not averse to the use of the occassional expletive... just for fun like... you cahhnt!
bollox... I did it there didn't I?
and again... shit!
...Oh f ck f ck f ck!!!
but seriously...... though prone to curse, I'll get just a tad annoyed at conversations overheard that are not just *peppered*, but punctuated, stecato stylee... especially by todays youth... oh my... I'm sooooooo old!

I don't use the hideous C word but I swear a lot and frankly couldn't give a fuck.

14 Jun 2007

I'm going to have to admit to using the C word fairly regularly.
is anyone actually shocked when they hear this now?? i can think of slightly more shocking things i get up to than saying a word.
saying that i do tend to add a y to the end of it.
For example when you spill wine on the carpet "oh you cunty bastard".
Or when someone is being mildly irritating "Fuck off cuntybaws"
Maybe its a scottish thing??? smile

There's a time and a place.
I'd call Thierry Henry a c*** at Stamford Bridge, but not my Mum anywhere!

I'm not big on swearing, mainly cos every time I do drop the odd word, all I can vision is my mum giving me the 'look' :shock:
I don't get offended by other people swearing tho (like my mum does), or I don't mind people swearing in context, but must admit I cringe when someones effing and jeffing all the way through whatever they're saying confused

When I'm listening to someone like that, I can't help thinking how much shorter their sentences would be if they didn't do it :?
As bad as swearing in the cringe stakes, is when someone constantly says "d'ya know what I mean?", every other sentence is this - I just wanna tell them of course I bluddy do so stop keep asking me, I'll stop and ask you what you mean if I'm unsure evil

And "innit"!!!! Innit what? dunno

what the fuck are they on about? :confused:

before i moved to yorkshire id never heard anyone use the word in liverpool. its really common place here and i do use it occasionally, even affectionately lol
on the other hand i am more likey to use it when referring to someone i dislike ie "the poisonous little c***". its very satisfying in that way :P
in terms of it being offensive...just the word doesnt offfend me at all, how its used might tho. im with the vagina monologues, lets reclaim it biggrin

id be much more offended if i was called a slag to be honest....alot of peole get off on that and i dont get it dunno

You never heard it used in Liverpool? Are you pulling my leg? You can't move for hearing it these days!

14 Jun 2007

nope, never heard it much at all before i moved here dunno

I hate to hear people swear when theyr'e just gettingon with their everyday lives. I was in a clothes shop the other day, when an employee said to another (politely) " so and so says when you've done that, can you go and do (whatever) please". The other employee rolled her eyes & said- loud enough for lots of shoppers & kids to hear- "oh for fucks sake!". evil

It's just not necessary.
Having said that, one of my biggest lol moments was because of swearing.....
Mr W, who used to have a raving temper on him, got into a massive strop when preparing to decorate the living room. There was a cuckoo clock which got in his way at just the wrong moment. I was trying to be calm, stay out of it & not feed his wobbly, when he exclaimed " oh you fucking cuckooing cocking cunt!"
At which point, the atmosphere was punctuated by me howling with laughter rotflmao

, and he had to admit defeat & join in too!

14 Jun 2007

I like a good swear. Its one thing that can actually release some anger and pent up feelings. redface

14 Jun 2007

I hate the C word with a vengeance but the only time it's funny is when Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson is singing 'Santa Claus you c**t!
It's even funnier to see Sarah's face when listening to it! :giggle:

Years ago when I was teaching the Head who was a naive innocent old thing used to check with me to find out if the children had sworn at her. She genuinely didn't know the words and See you next Tuesday was 1 of the ones she had to she would go back with punishment to be meted out. I have no idea why she used to ask me!!!!! I'm sure there were better candidates to ask redface

(this was an Infant School too) Sweet little treasures :jagsatwork:

Admittedly, I never use it in front of my kids ( although they have heard some fruity stuff during times of road rage redface

) and my mum would give me a clip if I used it in front of her. I don't find it especially offensive, I mean it's just a word used to describe female genitalia/or as an offensive noun.

14 Jun 2007

In my book, probably one of the most offensive swear words ever used. Having said that, it does have its own uses, i.e. if I ever call you a F*ing C ...... be afraid, be very afraid .......................

14 Jun 2007

Hate the word - only ever said it twice and once was by accident redface

If it is only a 'word' to describe female genatalia or as an offensive noun - then why would you keep it from your kids in times of road rage confused

:lol:
Personally I find the word an abomination the sound of it is so offensive. I also think by putting a y on the end of it or some such thing takes away its ability to sound sharp and abrupt. Though still not nice sad

Germaine also said it is a good Germanic lol

wood. It is the way it is used that makes it offencive.
Claim the word back, use it correctly.

Maybe surprisingly, but I don't swear that often, I've never sworn in front of Mrs Kiss' parents or my boss - although I might have said "Bloody hell!" once.
The only times I really swear are (a) when I'm driving and another driver does something dangerous or inconsiderate. And (b) when talking dirty during sex, I much prefer the word c*** to pussy or fanny. Although in this context I do use the word c*** I would still find it shocking if somebody used it in anger.

15 Jun 2007

The word c**t seems to be part and parcel of life in the area I live in. Most people use it frequently but not with as much malice as some other parts of the country where its not used as much. "You silly c**t" said in a very jokey way being one of the most used ways to say it. Ive got to admit I do use the word now and again. Although the swearing phrase that I do use the most is "for fucks sake".
I never swear in front of my Mum and Dad :angel: although I dont think that they would care but it just wouldnt feel right.

I know what you mean.
It is one of those words that when I use it... I really do mean it and there is no misunderstanding what I mean by using it.

15 Jun 2007

Unlike my other half I hardly ever swear, so when I do (talking dirty during sex) it has a much naughtier effect and really drives him wild lol

Keep naughty words for naughty times I say :P

Now that really made me lol

I guess it's the context in which the words are used as to whether they are offensive or not? I still can't quite get my head round C*** though. It's just toooooo much.
My ex says "daft c***" all the time. It's pretty common round here and can be used as an insult* or affectionately but I despised it.
I swear loads but it is kind of controllable. I don't swear as i walk round Asda (why the fuck is there no bread left???) or in certain company (mum, make us a fucking cuppa).
I grew up learning that using swear words showed a limited vocabulary and therefore basically meant you were a thick twat :lol: who couldn't hold a decent conversation. I do try not to swear at people who wind me up or make me angry unless they are quite obviously dumb as fuck and then I'll tell them so - only cos that's the only language they understand, of course. cool

i know for a fact it pisses my ex off when I don't swear or lose my temper during our many arguments. Or is it cos I have a very patronising voice and use big words? :lol:
* see Teesside Tintin on youtube for it's full effect!

15 Jun 2007

I hate to swear, its the only time I cringe at myself when I allow one to slip out in rage redface

Maybe its in my upbringing...as kids we'd get a slap for calling each other 'stupid cow' or 'little shit' dunno

Tho I do believe there may be a time and a place.
ahh, thinking about it that may explain why im quite partial to the occasional smackbottom
