    They are just words and words cant hurt people...unless those words are "You have AIDS" then you're kinda screwed!!!

    I have to say I love the word cvnt too. But only if used properly. Have some ozzy friends that say it the whole time and it's hillarious - "Hey cvnt"!!

    Or even Ari Gold in Entourage answering his phone "cvntmuscle" - classic

    But (without being sexist) to hear a girl say it in a biting tone is horrible. If used light-heartedly it's the best word ever. Otherwise it's just awful. If that makes any sense!!

    "I can smell your cvnt"

    (to quote "silence of the lambs")

    To me it's not the words that are offensive, it's the meaning behind them.

    If I hear a 6 year old telling someone to "fuck off" I think it's wrong because the language is associated not just with aggression but violent aggression. No 6 year old should be that violent.

    Of course, most very young kids (3-4) hear it and repeat it without realising the violence of intent that the phrases carry.

    That language is associated with a certain type of behaviour that is unacceptable to me. You only have to look around for a minute or two in Ireland or England and you'll find some mother or father swearing violently at their kids.

    We wonder why there is so much violence and aggression from the chavs of this world; this is part of the reason.

    I don't agree with the term 'lower orders' either, these people are just as aggressive in their own right, the type who think they are superior to others when they just happened to be lucky enough to be born into a better lifestyle and upbringing. These people are as bad as the chavs as they encourage divisiveness and a class society. They also swear except that instead of saying "fuck sake", they say "fock sake" or "focking chav, I'll have at you. Henry, fetch me my pugilist attire, I shall teach this rotter a lesson he shan't forget in a hurry!" ;)

    would never have thought about this that much, however just overheard a lovely grandmother call the kids fukcing knackers for jumping in puddles to which one responded with b*itch and I was horrified....

    Roffles I love it. What sort of child is she??? Jaysus once you reach your teens you should be able to call a spade a spade, or in this case, a **** a ****.

    I personally think they should be
    But, I voted "Go fukk yourself ya cunnt or I'll ram an Atari Jaguar up your fukking arse" because it sounds nice

    The C word is brilliant. It's like a special power because of how it offends some people. I like to insult people by making up nonsensical words to call them that, when thought about bring up a visual image quite easily. "Dickfart" or "Vagmonkey" are good simple ones, "a big quivering pile of endometreum" makes me feel smart and poetic. Whilst "Sh*ttyC*nt" is just a nasty nasty thought.

    Get creative, then we can show everyone that it IS funny and it IS smart.

    here here!!

    Dead right - you have to keep things fresh and interesting. Shake it up!! Just like women are sick of the boring ol' clichéd chat up lines; they'd much rather hear "I'd eat your @ss with a spoon" or "I'd let you p!ss in my eyes". Am I right???!!

    Or is that why I'm single and get slapped a lot when I'm out....

    Whats wrong with kids, and people in general, cursing? Its just a word. It should be the intent and emotions behind the word that people find shocking but if people hear a kid saying 'I'll kill you you wee-wee head' they just smile regardless of the fact the kid just threatend another one. When they here 'I'll kill you you f*cking c*nt' its somehow 10 times worse, they then give out to the child who begins to think 'Hm, those words are offensive. Perhaps I should use them more often in my threats to offend whomever I'm having a dispute with'.

    Fvcking ridiculous, shower of cvnts ****ting on my right to free-fvcking-speech!

    Great vid.


    There are two main tactics of debate, reason and stubborness. Both win as much as the other. Christianity tends to advocate stubborness over reason.

    Was in Canada recently and may have inadvertently referred to Bono as a cunt more than once in the same 5 minute rant. The looks on their faces was priceless. But in some circumstances (talking about Bono etc.) it is warranted and the vehemence of the word adds to its appeal.

    As has been said, none of these endearing words would be nearly as offensive if we didn't make them so taboo. I'm all for the swearing when its used for emphasis or similar. Sometimes a regular word just won't do.

    Ok I was just reading the censorship on tv thread there and i figured i'd start this one as its something I've always wondered about. That being what exactly is the big deal with the words above and this mindset of "we have to shield children from them" that some people have. It is prevalent everywhere, tv, cinema, radio, literature, even the internet (hence the **'s ain the thread title). I'm just curious as to wether people here agree that children shouldn't see, hear, read these words and what exactly to you think the dire consequences of a nine year old hearing the word sh1t is going to be? "little billy was such a good boy, then one day he watched an episode of Hells Kitchen when his mammy was distracted and was so distraught he murdered his siblings with a cabbage"

    (poll coming)

    swear words are a mark of disrespect and kids shouldn't be taugt to se words or think its ok to use word used in this way"

    Get her The Enema Strikes Back by Blink 182 and play the most offensive song, goes something like this:

    "sh*t, piss, f*ck, c*nt, cocksucker, motherf*cker, tits, fart, dirty twat, I f*cked your mom" and keeps repeating this, for a few mins. She'll probably spontaneously combust :D

    "in days of olde when men were bold and johnnies werent invented
    they wrapped a sock around their cock and rode quite contented"


    some fecker wrote that on a wall down my way when i was kid, I memorized it because i thought it was about knights and recited it to the class in front of me teacher. :pac:

    Just goes to show that kids dont have a clue what most swearings about


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 593 ✭✭✭McSandwich


    A couple of weeks ago I overheard a kid on my road tell another kid that he really hated him and wanted to kill him. I was really taken aback, much more so than if he'd called the other kid a f*cker or a c*unt. Words themselves are not 'bad' but they be construed that way, kids should be taught that.

    The Americanisation of cunt has lead to it's downfall here.
    Before everyone was a cunt. A Cheeky cunt, a lucky cunt, a shower of right cunts, and it was all meant in a jovial and polite manner.
    Then all of a sudden, them Republican right wing fellas from across the ocean start saying "Oh noes! It be offensive to ladies!" and because of the importing of crappy american tv and crappy american family values here we suddenly think cunt is a terrible word.
    It isnt.
    Get over it.
    I'm taking cunt back.
    Wow. I wonder if this is the most cunts ever in one post in AH.


    Ive only ever met one Irish girl who stated that she hated the word.


    This is Ireland. A place where, when someone heres of someone dying tragically, it isnt uncommon to hear "Jesus. Poor cnut!" and for nobody to bat an eyelid.

    tbh it is more controversial in the US because certain yank accents carry it so viciously :D Italian American especially. One of the funniest bits in the Sopranos being when Tony is talking about Fat Pussy (a character in the show, for those who are getting confused :) ). Tony has, unbeknownst to his wife, murdered Pussy after discovering he was an informant, but has put the word out that Pussy is actually in the witness protection programme (as his body has never been found. Carmela is banging on about how awful it is that Pussys wife has been left alone with no money

    Tony "I dont wanna hear any more about fcukin Pussy! Or his ungreatful cnut wife"
    Carmela "His what wife?" :D :pac: :D

    Her delivery of it in response is classic :p


    Or when he tells his money grabbing doctor "fcuk you ya sick cnut"

    Its just alot colder than hearing some oul Irishman referring to someone as a lucky cnut, or a gas cnut, or a sly cnut.

    I'd like to think that its possible to raise children at home without subjecting them and anyone else to stream of explitives. Its just good manners. But as the lower orders on TV swear like chavs and the Irish like to swear anyway (esp jokey versions like Feck and Arse) its an uphill battle.

    Mike.
    It's entirely possible to raise children at home without subjecting them to those words, but it would also mean keeping them locked away from all outside contact.
    Most children hear these words at school or from their friends.

    Why is there even a cursing filter on boards?

    I mean, a kid for some reason reads boards, sees the odd curse, whats the harm, they probably wouldn't even care.

    In reality as it stands, child on the internet, all they have to do is use google image search to be subjected to filth, the ammount of ****e that is on the net is hug, why bother filtering boards.

    At least make it an option to turn it off maybe, its silly, I can still say fuck but I have to be sneaky.

    Also little johny surely can read fcuk and get it half right.

    I just don't see the point.
    Some schools and offices restrict access to sites with those words.
