Ladies using the word C*NT

Nevyn · 22-02-2007 05:07PM

I use that word at times, it is a powerful word and one that has been wrongfully used too much.

iremex · 22-02-2007 05:09PM

what the is the P word?

i dont mind the C word, i use it very rarely but when i do use it, its meritted.. but what i CANT stand is when ppl stop you mid way through your rant/sentance and tell you that they find it offensive. its not like you are calling them a c**t ffs. they want you to say "c u next tuesday"
they need to have something else to worry about other than a damn word.

While people are still allowed to say 'chillax' and 'guesstimate', I shall continue to say ****.

Ahh I avoided mentioning that as when I articulate and then type my typing can introduce spelling mistakes. Which is my typing skill.

Maybe it's just because it doesn't come across very effeminate, women don't like vain men or those that pluck their eyebrows etc, right?

Wrong. Some women don't like men like that. Some women would love if their partner took pride in his appearance and kept things neat. Some women would believe that men who do this kind of thing are still perfectly masculine.

Personally, I say "c*nt" whenever I feel like saying it and there are plenty who would agree that I am still perfectly effeminite and well within my rights to use the word as much as any man.

A man can refer to his penis by using a million different words (words which can also be used as insults) so why is it so awful for women to have equivalent words?

Instead of using one word... educate yourself and get a dictionary, you will find many words in there. You never know it may be that you realise that actually using new words may actually have a positive benefit rather than simple sentence strings punctuated by swear words to make a point.

I have a rich and varied vocabulary thank you very much, it just so happens that I'm not prudish enough to exclude certain words from it solely on the basis that some may consider them rude. Your patronising tone would earn a hearty **** off from many, so maybe you should embrace the word you seem to have such a fear off.

I view a woman saying that word in the same way I would a white person using the well known derogatory word for a black person.

I don't mind the odd bit of swearing from women, but going ott I believe does show a lack of education.

And how would you view a man using that word?

Raiser · 22-02-2007 05:31PM

Isn't the title a contradiction in terms ? Ladies do not use the word cnut in much the same way as Pacifists do not beat people to a pulp.......

Crucifix · 22-02-2007 05:31PM

What do people mean by lack of education?
Frankly, as my life as gone on both my amount of education and, for want of a better word, sweariness have increased.

Caliden · 22-02-2007 05:35PM

As long as it's not followed by the words: have, sex, and tonight it's fine by me.

should I get my coat?

Karl Hungus · 22-02-2007 05:44PM

Wow, the prudishness in this thread is nausiating.

It's just a word. I find that if someone gets offended, it reflects far more on them than it does on the word itself. As for ladies using it... So?

You are happy to make a "fortune" from something you find offensive? :eek:

PS - What about "fánny"? It has a different meaning here than in the US!

Lol! Well, it was a very small fortune actually. And tbh no one has ever used the "c" word in my house

I don't know how f*nny is used over there, but it's rarely ever used here anymore. Bum has basically replaced it.

I never stop people and tell them that I find those words offensive when it's not in my home. I just grin and bear it and cringe. But they are words I wouldn't use myself. Well, I have to be honest and say that I have used the "f" bomb on a few occassions when I was extremely angry. And yes, I did put $1 in the swear jar

Edit: re thread title: 'ladies' in this day and age sounds lame. Just use 'women' or 'girls'. I quite like using the 'c' word.

The use of the word ladies was elluding to the notion that some people may find it unladylike.

Have you ever taken a leak in public, be it in the street or in a laneway? Do you think it is as acceptable, or as unacceptable for a woman to urinate in public as it is for a man?

Yes I have, usually when drunk. It's not acceptable for anyone to do it unless it's in an bush or something and one is in dire straits with nowhere else to go.

My idiot friend when very drunk went right opposite my house and I was ashamed because my neighbours might have seen him but dare I say it I would feel infinitely worse if it had been my girlfriend caught doing it by my neighbours. Sexist again, right?

I hate the word, Hate hate hate hate it. That and the p word.

I'm struggling to think of a swear word beginning with p, surely you can't mean penis as it's not a swear word and piss is borderline?

marksuttonie wrote:

Hmmmmmm maybe education is rubbish to you, but well, i use words every day in my job, where effective communication skills are required and not just the ability to grunt a few choice epithets.

You can't seriously be claiming to never swear, neighbourino?

I've never encountered anyone reprimanding another over using it but I know I wouldn't use it around my mother whereas the use of f*ck is permitted when warranted by the situation.

It was just a possible explanation for why I find it unladylike.

You are of course perfectly well within your rights to use the word as any man but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I wouldn't dream of telling someone not to use a word, afterall who am I to do such a thing? I'm just stating how I feel about women using it and that I will judge them and reflect upon this, albeit silently.

And I was just stating how ridiculous I find that.

nicolo · 22-02-2007 06:08PM

i would be a bit shocked if a "lady" used it, mearly because i would expect more from someone id consider to be a lady which would be someone who is intelligent and witty enough to not resort to using such words, likewise id be shocked if someone who was in my opinion a gentleman used it. nothing can ruin an attractive person faster then a horrible accent.

iremex · 22-02-2007 06:11PM

ah the p word, couldnt be what you call a little cat?

i have only encountered that situation when out in the pub and one of my friend's friend objected to it.. weirdo.

have heard it in the office over the past few years and hear "oh i dont like that word!"
another girl use to give anyone in the office a bollicking for using it. one day she went apesh!t at her boyfriend on the phone after he used it. sad sad woman

SprostonGreen · 22-02-2007 06:21PM

I thinks its great at the height of passion when used for vagina.

As for an insult, meh, it can be over-used but its nicely effective.

So you think women who use the c-word are racists?

Your statement makes no sense to me.

I remember as a young child standing there with my jaw on the floor when my beautiful canadian cousin, when asked by my Dad how her flight was, loudly told the whole family that her fanny was red raw :eek:

I curse way too much - i dont find it lady-like its just a bad habit, although it does sound better in a posh accent (i definately dont have one of those)

Not much is said in my house when you curse however my mother goes mad if you say 'poxy' - i dont think thats an actual curse though, they always say it in eastenders - at least thats what i tell my mother when i am getting an earful.

It was a metaphor. The idea being that I illustrate my feelings by using a similar example.

If someone is referred to as a "rock" in defence, they don't usually have the same physical properties of one.

Wertz · 22-02-2007 07:10PM

As a term or endearment or as an insult it's fine....sort of a turn off when it's in referral to their own genitalia though...

Well I find no reason why women should not be permitted to express the idea that someone or something is not capable of doing something in such a manner. However, the omission of the apostrophe does indeed irritate me.

post 14, of course i do, but different expletives than the two we are concerned with here and not casually where there is no meaning

Mordeth is pulling your leg...it means the same as c*nt here.
I always had to stifle a laugh when women referred to their fanny pack, when I lived in the 'states...we call them a bum bag here...

Thanks for telling me truthfully Wertz.

I don't like either men or women using the word tbh.
