why do women hate the c u next tuesday word so much?

Fanny Wank

obviously a slang term but never understood why women hate it so much.

can any ladies shed any light?

Silverfish

No, but I hate gross generalisation a lot more.

Binomate

Cunt. I'd imagine a lot of people don't like it because its vulgar.

But what makes that word so much more vulgar than any other?

No idea myself.

but no more vulgar than a lot of other words IMO. I NEVER say it in front of girls as I know they don't like it, just don't get why this particular word is so vulgar

But why is cock more acceptable then Cunt?


This is a important issue.

Niamho!

i didnt think it was just women. i dunno what it is. i think alot of them say they hate it just to jump on the Band wagon. i dont really mind it. i think its the stigma attached to it. i do find it kind of bad sometimes but its just the sound of it more than anything.

Fanny Wank

it is a very crude sounding word but apart from that I'm lost

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Useless fact here;

It would be how it is used ie useless, stupid placed in front of it.

Sinfonia

Of course it's the stigma...why are cunt and fuck so vulgar, but cook and brunt perfectly acceptable?

Niamho!

I just think its the mankiest curse word. Its vile, and degrading. Its used to be very insulting, which makes it pretty unique, as all the other words can be used in a matey way

But why is it? We have already established that it's the "mankiest curse word".

It's insulting as well as degrading? Excellent, must use it more often. Remember kids, women are just meat, they have no feelings.

Dyr

I know one girl who thinks its the best swear word ever.

I use it quite a bit in a genial way (dozy c**t, lazy c**t ). I think gee is far more offensive meself.

BTW is it true a lot of yanks really take offense at this simple word?

Captain Chaos

This link is a good read on the usage of the word, it's history and how its seen and used in different countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****

while I tend not to use the word in the company of women, one of my mates girlfriend uses it quite a bit in the pub, which took me by suprise at first.

edit: the link got auto edited with the c@nt taken out so the link is not 100% the right page.

TPD

Cock gobbling **** bag is the term I like to use when making 'love' to the women*

Usage in Ireland

**** is used extensively in Ireland in a non-derogatory way to simply refer to a person when no insult is intended. For example, "Any **** kens [knows] that!" or "That poor old **** was just minding his business when the bus ran over him" or "there's no **** here," to mean "there's no one here. "There is also the diminutive "cunteen".

lol, I've never heard anyone say those things..."kens"???

My understanding is that it is as offensive as telling us to shove a stilletto heel in the ol' snake's eye...

If you're going to use it - do so the Everett way

Who said it is? They are both crude words which are generally used in a genuinely derogatory manner....

Its not the word itself of course, but its the context in which its used and both words are generally used to demean or shock....

In general, Irish people use too much foul language in day to day chitchat and to me this makes them sound ignorant and uneducated..... Its not cool or macho to use foul offensive language its just plain ignorant.

faceman

Coming from a man who's username is Fanny ****, its no wonder he's asking the question. :rolleyes:

Zebra3

It's just another word that has become so overused it lost any offence long ago.

Loads of other words/phrases out there that are far more offensive, ie very rarely used and therefore cos people to think about what is actually said.

Clare Bear

Doesn't bother me, some people are too sensitive.

There are parts of Ireland where "ken" is used.

As for cunt. It is a mixture of both it's meaning and the strong consonants and long vowel. While quim has the same root (both come from the Middle English word queynte) and same literal meaning it has a much softer sound to it. Queynte was not terribly offensive judging by how often Chaucer uses it, and some of the quite positive ways he has characters say it. On the other hand, it doesn't appear much in earlier or contemporary authors, is often used in a way that does seem to be offensive indeed, and Chaucer at one point has the Wife of Bath (who is elsewhere continuously going on about how great her queynte is, including her wonderful promise; "Ye shul have queynte right ynogh at eve") using the word quoniam as a euphemism for the Q word. It seems therefore that it was already at least quite offensive, but that Chaucer could get away with it.

Interestingly enough Chaucer seems to use some spellings more for positive uses and some more for negative uses.

Shakespeare only ever hints at the word such as in Hamlet's "Do you think I meant country matters?" or Twelfth Night's "There be her very Cs, her Us, and her Ts: and thus makes she her great Ps." so by then queynte had become cunt but had also becomes more offensive.

Well, I'm not very fond of your user name either, truth be told. I find the c world very offensive. I'm not exactly sure why, perhaps it's because of the way it sounds, perhaps it's because it's a slang word for calling a lady's private area and why should that be a derogatory word to describe someone? I'm don't like cock, or knob either but I think the c word has much more stigma around it and I find it is used in more uncivilised company.

Call Me Jimmy

I think it's the sound of it that most non-believers don't like, it's a very harsh word, it's the most aggressive-sounding word I know. I use it all the time tho...

You stupid f u cking c u nt, you idiot! Who told you could work with men?

Sinfonia

The only words that bother me are racist slurs, tbh.

comongethappy

lol - the hubby and I were playing a game, listing through all the slang for penis/breasts/vaginia, etc, seeing who could think of the most (we're dorks - I know!). I said c**t, and he actually thought I was offensive and unlady like hearing it from me! I've no problem saying it, wouldn't use it in casual language, but if I was slagging someone I knew closely I might (ie lazy c**t, etc)

Tha Gopher

Is this boards.us or something? Americans are the only ones offended by it. It may well be that for some reason in the US it has always been used as another word for vagina, whereas here it was more of a general thing, people probably only realised it was a byword for teh flange when they started hearing it in the context of American films.

Oriel

C*nt. Nigg*r. They're words. So what.

This reminds me if the line in Silence of the Lambs, when one of the inmates says, ''I can smell your c@nt''. The amount of people I know that took offence to that line was mad.

Talliesin

Yes. It was clearly offensive to have a psychosexual murderer with an inability to communicate properly use that term :rolleyes:

Sleepy

Have had this conversation with friends (all female) who dislike my usage of it and not one of them can give me a single reason why it's more offensive than calling someone a dickhead so until they can, I'll keep using it.

Cunny-Funt

To be offended by a word just because you are told the word is offensive is plain stupid.

Its just a word. I find it funny, those who claim cursing is stupid and ignorant are actually being so themselves if they are getting offended by just the actual use of a single word.

People don't use 'naughty' words to be cool etc. They use them as a form of expression just like every other word.

Its the year 2007 go back to the 1700's if that's your form of thinking.


They are just WORDS, relax the kacks!

Holy sh i t, I can't believe so many people take it so seriously... offended by that one swear word? What the ****? And actually being offended by it's use IN A FILM? Do you get offended when reading '******' in Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry?

I can understand a woman being offended if a guy in work calls her a c u nt and isn't joking, but other than that ye'z are insane...

kowloon

The Girly bits are always more taboo and offensive than the man bits, fuk knows why.

anotherlostie

I used to absolutely hate the word, but a couple of years ago fell in with a group of lads who use it all the time, and sure enough before long I was deriding annoying women* as **** geebags with the best of them!

* and in the interest of equality, it gets used to describe men without the geebag suffix, strangely enough.

stcatherine

I don't have a problem with it either but me ma, Jesus she's kill us if she ever heard us saying it, I use 'Whore's C**t" a lot when I hurt myself, but only in front of Hubby !
