    :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: 642 ✭✭✭ham_n_mustard


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

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

    Strange really how that happens.

    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: 3,846 ✭✭✭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: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Made famous in the film Veronica Guerin.
    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?

    **** 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.

    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.

    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.
