    :confused: why is it such an offensive word to women?, when i've personally heard girls call each other the C word during bitch fights. But if a man does it....off with his head! :confused:

    oooh they do get deeply offended by it

    the Silly Cúnts

    What a strange post! Think you might be trolling but I'll bite!

    Women don't like be called 'c's as it's an insulting word just like guys don't like being called dicks or pricks?

    In what situation, apart from S&M, could you call a woman that without offending her?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 415 ✭✭Holybejaysus


    I would think uttering it to anyone, man or woman, would result in some emergency dental work of some sort.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 641 ✭✭✭ham_n_mustard


    they probably know you're not going to call them next tuesday, and they'll be left on the shelf...

    No , I'll c u next Thursday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    Thats probably the only insult that if i hear it used, I go 'alright, thats a bit too far'.

    Strange really how that happens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    I'm offended by the use of c u next tuesday, makes me die a little inside.

    Am pretty sure that most men wouldn't be offended if you called them a dick or a prick, personally I think women try to milk this one, and if are called a cúnt they immediately look for sympathy...

    Not saying it should be an everyday word in a relationship, but what if she does something daft, if you call her a stupid cúnt does that make you evil? eh no.

    I think women can call men whatever they wish, but if men reciprocate they are suddenly bigots and bad people, not really fair is it?

    Squish mitten is my current favourite euphamism for the lady parts.

    I think it should become a term of endearment between women. It sounds friendly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,845 ✭✭✭Jet Black


    Cun t is the new gee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    A guy in work apologises profusely every time he utters that word, as if every female in the place is gonna run out crying at hearing it.

    I don't care, I just say you have to sleep sometime.... Payback.

    :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    Even i'm not brave enough to call a woman a cnut to her face...

    Gee had its day, C*nt have been around for quite a while now. Oh Minge was there for a while too.
    Wouldn't "front bum" be much more family friendly though and put a new look on things?

    C U = Credit union which we be all using very soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭Noffles


    Made the mistake of calling a girl that when I was younger and supider, she had a wobbler... I actually still regret it today and wouldn't do it again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I wouldn't use it to insult a woman but otherwise it's my favourite term of abuse ever. I know one or two women that object to its use full-stop in any situation but I would usually just ignore.them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    it's vulgar and nasty.

    ...I prefer calling people fanny face anyway.

    Why is that you can call a man a сunt, a pussy or a twat but it makes no sense to call a woman a dick or a bollocks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    Why is that you can call a man a сunt, a pussy or a twat but it makes no sense to call a woman a dick or a bollocks?

    **** is just a really harsh sounding word. Twat sounds more like it means ''silly idiot'' I'd been using it for years before I found it it referred to a vagina. So both can be used in gender neutral ways.

    Pussy is applicable as it refers to a man being unmanly

    Have heard women being referred to as ''dicks'' but thats a fairly recent thing, and just in the north so far. Bollocks I haven't heard for women but it doesn't have the characteristics of the female ones you mentioned above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    I think it's a fantastic word. I use it al the time - when I'm upset, when I'm angry, when I stub my toe, during speeches at weddings, funerals etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    I say cúnt all the time, not as much as the regular swear words but, still, I never understood the weight of the word with women. It's just another word for me that I apply to my lingo.

    Friend: "Lost my job today / etc"
    Me: "Ah, that's cúntish!"

    The GF when we first started going out would tell me to stop saying the word as she didn't like it................eh no, put that whip back in your pocket, dear................she's used to it now, just as long as I don't use the word against her. ;)

    Only a foolish man with a death wish would call a woman a cúnt. If you did, the next sound you'd hear would be the claws on her hand extending.........ready to tear that skin off your face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭Borat_Sagdiyev


    There's a fella I know that uses this to describe anyone he doesn't like:

    "If cúnts were scarce, he'd be three of them."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Father Damo


    Where do you fcuking live, New York? Ive never heard an Irishwoman mortally offended by it.

    It's a new thing - people saw Americans getting offended and followed suit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    The C word has nothing to do with women out here in the west. I don't think I've ever thought to call a woman a cunt but I call everything else a ****. If the batteries go in the remote I'd call the remote "A cunt of a thing", I'd use cuntish allot to. How was the drive? "cuntish!"

    I'd sometimes use it in the same way, drives my girlfriend mental, which encourages me to use it more just to drive her crazy :D

    'сuntish' sounds a bit like a rimshot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    The GF and I call each other the 'c' word all the time (playfully of course). Get some weird looks when in the company of others though which makes it hilarious.

    Depends on the person I guess but I'd have no qualms of using it in public or in front of others. If someone did say they were offended I would make it my business to keep saying it.

    It's a word, get over it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 105 ✭✭james098


    I only use it when driving. grand on yer own. but Ive had my ears chewed off when Ive said it without thinking and the kids have repeated it to Mammy :o

    my mate from kerry used to say that a lot

    me im not offended by it, but most women i know are, the silly cunts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    im not offended by it, but i wouldn't use it,

    i cannot understand how people take offense to others using bad language, if you don't like it don't use it and move away from the person who is.....simples!

    Yes. Nobody in Ireland had ever heard the word before that evil Gerard McSorley said it in Veronica Guerin.

    Offense at this is a regional weirdness.
    Head up to Louth/Meath ruralness and the c word is used much as 'feck' or 'arse' are used in other places - by wimmins and everything

    Anyone's gonna be offended by being called a cunt - or any term of abuse, unless it's in a joking context.

    However, I don't understand why so many women are offended by the word on its own - even if it's a term for vagina. Nobody makes that connection when they use it as an insult. "Pussy" sounds nastier imo - even if it's fine in certain, er, contexts. :)

    Cunt is a great word though - best swear-word ever imo, and should be applicable to whomever the cap fits, male or female.

    Seriously ?
    I never heard that I always just thought twat meant idiot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,578 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    We need a new stronger swear word. The old reliables obviously aren't doing the job anymore. Can anyone think of something powerful and offensive that would suit the task?

    I think Ireland is the only country in the world where you can use the word "cunt" as an adjective or adverb, a la:

    You cunting, bastardin' jam jar, why won't you open?!

    I think clunge is probably the worst word I

    This is Boards though, so I am sure it wont
    be long before the fine people here
    send me back into the world with a ridiculously
    colourful vocabulary of new words.
