    Awesome word. "You're a cnut". Covers every possible scenario.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    I always find it kinda harsh when wimmenz call me a cunt to be honest...although most of the time I do deserve it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,609 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    I think its a pretty crude word tbh.

    Trivia.. The French wanted the world time changed from GMT (Greenwich Mean time) to Co-ordinated Universal Nuclear Time way back in the day to reflect the more accurate nuclear clock!.

    It's C.UNT time. Sounds good to me! Anytime it's cahunt time is a good time

    Mr Bean is a silly "Cúnt" as this was mass debated not more than a few months back.

    Mie.

    i used to absolutley hate it when i was younger couldn't stand to hear it but i think that was from my mam killing me whenever i said it, but now all my friends say it the whole time like they'd use cúnt like they would w*nker or any word like that.. so i've started sayin it aswell sometimes when i say it i'm like ahhh that doesn't sound nice but it just comes out now.i think its ok when used in a messing way but when said seriously its very harsh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    It's just a word. A very powerful word. A word of epic proportions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Love it tbh.
    I love cunt too


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Personally it doesn't bother me but there are people I know who hate it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    Ah cúnt, probably the most used word in my vocabulary, and every time I use it I get a smack!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    I only use it when driving. Like someone said, it covers everything. May sound very sexest but i dont like girls using it.

    Like a cahunt.

    I don't like it so much, not in my swear vocab!! Although, I'll never forget when I was younger, I read some chain message on my mams phone (something about a postman I think?) And later when the whole family were at dinner, lil' ole me just pipes up "Hey, what's a cnut??"



    Oh the awkward silence following that!....:o

    Not my favourite word tbh. I find silly sounding terms of abuse much better. Take ass-burglar, for example.

    That said, one of my college buddies has perfected the use of the word kunt to such a degree that he gets lulz every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 289 ✭✭GeturGun


    Just like Kiera, i reserve the of this word exclusively for my fellow road-users
    .....only the ones that act like cnuts of course :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Daithi McGee


    I prefer Cu.nt to the use of the word Gee



    Bloody Dubs.


    :(:o:(


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,555 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    people who use the word 'gee' should be shot in the face with bullets.

    :(:o:(

    I love the word GEE (I'm not a dyke) or Geebag :) I wouldnt use them myself but they make me giggle when i hear them.
    Think they are the funniest words ever!

    You're right! Your user name is far more appropriate when it's changed to Daithi M.Cunt :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    It's a disgusting word....














    .. cunt ain't so bad compared to "it's"! ;) Used it just this evening to a group of dirty looking grungy students shouting "HAZELLLL!!" up at a window from the top of their lungs. And then followed it by saying "imagine how much head lice they have between them!"

    The word **** always reminds me of this scene from one of the best films I've ever seen - so many gems in there!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    i was at a bar bbq a while ago and my mate called her nanny a cunt. the nanny didn't even blink. there were loads of people there and none of them batted an eyelid either. me on the other hand, i nearly fainted

    Was the granny in a pink tracksuit by any chance?

    I remember reading recently about one lady on boards who wouldn't have minded being shot all over the face. Her name escapes me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    It's losing it's edge. :(

    Nah I wss just randomly setting forums to all pages and picking random pages like 121 and I read some thread about cum shots. Didn't really notice the original OP and I don't even remember the forum. PI maybe? Was very funny too :D Some of the older stuff on boards was very good. Like moderation was more lax and people more mental!

    It's all about context, isn't it ...

    That would have knocked me for six as well.

    On the other hand, I'm slagging with a couple of friends, get a low blow in, and get told to "fvck off, ya cnut", and I would take it more as an acknowledgment of the point scored than as any kind of insult.

    Ah, in fairness, Mike, a few months is a long time to go without mass debating ...

    Hmmm ... sounds vaguely familiar, all right. Tina? Tara? ... yeah, Tara something or other, I think. :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 975 ✭✭✭squibs


    I always wonder how any word can be inherently offensive. The C word is just a monosyllabic word, like prat. Yet one is harmless and the other gives strokes to most Americans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Cunts give strokes?

    I would have thought it was the other way round ...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭GirlInterrupted


    I hate this word, I think its revolting. But I'm not sure why.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    I prefer funt:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 950 ✭✭✭EamonnKeane


    It's a pity that words such as S., F. and C., which are just part of life, are seen as obscene, but no newspaper would dream of sticking asterices into the words "murder", "rape", "torture".

    Originally they weren't considered rude e.g. the wheatear (a bird) was originally the whitearse.

    Does anyone know if there are "naughty" words in Irish?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Does anyone know if there are "naughty" words in Irish?
    Of course, and in every language at a guess. I remember being taught a ripe selection in both Irish and Spanish as a kid. Can't remember them now though ... :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Not a fan of the Cunt myself, I like to use the word much though.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    **** is one of my favorite words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,475 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    I cuntdn't have said it better myself.
    I'm a **** for using the word although a of the ***** hate it.
