    Do you find the term "cúnt" (often spelled in different ways for obvious reasons) offensive?

    Personally I find it hugely offensive, yet it seems to be quite acceptable on boards.ie nowadays.

    That ****, yeah them asterisks get on my nerves alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Do you mean ***** or ****?

    ***** is offensive to me, **** is not as it's not in my vocabulary so makes no odds to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,675 ✭✭✭TheBody


    I hate &$!*% myself.

    I have heard it used in a positive way. Like your a mad ****. But use it in the uk and they have no idea what to say

    * can be a bit of a wildcard symbol IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭T-Maxx

    Fixed now but can't fix the poll though.

    I don't find it offensive, and I honestly don't care if people find it offensive. It's a word I use a lot, and to take offense is just stupid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    Is somehow more piercing than prìck, for instance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,670 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    I use it in a derogatory sense, so yes I do believe it is offensive. Towards the person I'm calling a c*nt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    If you find it offensive, then your a ****


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    I think there's more feeling in it :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Isn't being offensive kind of the point of the word?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    I used to be a bit touretty and **** was one of my favourites.
    I'm cured now though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,608 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Although I clicked YES in your poll I don't find it too offensive, more so crude and I try not use it myself.

    Although funny enough I don't mind using the word 'prick' to describe a prick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 FishFacePhil


    No. Not in the slightest. Americans and Canadians find it offensive, and I think thats because it has a different meaning in those countries. There it refers to a female in a negative way. Here it just means guy or person. Aussies use the word the same way we do.

    depends on who is calling you a ****. If a friend call me a ****ing **** wanker ****** prick **** **** i wouldn't be offended. That is how most of them show affection.

    If a random stranger or someone said the same though....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    I personally find it quite offensive, and this is dispite my thoughts for it changing due to its increased use of it lately.

    I used to find it extremely offensive, and would never use it, and would even request of close friends and family not to use it. But I suppose with alot of offensive words and pharses they slowly become accepted overtime. Saying all of that, would only use it to describe the absolute dregs of society, and would never use it on someone I know, or to someones face, either as a joke or to offend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    It used to be the real taboo of swear words/insults, for when you were really irate about someone or something. Now it's as common as fcuk is, no pun intended. It's very vulgar and coarse, as my dead granny would have put it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,066 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Used to be indifferent to it, but the Trinity Killer in Dexter changed my perception of the word forever


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,566 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    Gee, now that's a funny word.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,344 ✭✭✭Skill Magill

    And we all know how piercing a prick can be

    How did you get cured?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    I call my (male) boss a **** fairly regularly, not sure why that word, it just suits him:D. Another member of staff would get Prick regularly and another individual gets bastard. I like to pick an offensive word to suit their personality.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    ;) What starts with a 'C', ends with a 'T', and is hairy on the outside and moist on the inside? ..










    Coconut.... :D:confused:
