Does anyone still find "cunt" offensive?

[CaptainWacky]

Or can it be used as a friendly insult?

 

[Dr Dave]

Anybody who is a cunt would find it offensive, but I don't.

 

[The Dork Lord]

I wouldn't use the word in certain company...

 

[I Love Cunt]

Its Very Offensive!

 

[Ilyanna]

In RL: depends... if said by a female stranger: invitation to a bare knuckle fight. Said by a male: what does he look like?

At TK: term of endearment

 

[Cassie]

The word kinda lost its offensiveness through overuse online. In RL thems fighting words.

Calling a woman a cunt in the US: Will probably get you slapped/kicked in nuts. If the woman is black, say goodbye to your face.
Calling a man a cunt in the US: Might get you punched, more likely will get you a befuddled look followed by "Whadda you, British?"

Calling a man a cunt in the UK: He'll probably laugh and buy you a pint.
Calling a woman a cunt in the UK: (No idea.)

 

[Shitty Dual]

It's no mystery, but still very weird to me how the same epithets carry different levels of animosity in different cultures. Calling someone "dog" here in the US is often a compliment. Calling someone a dog in the Muslim world might get you stabbed.

As for the UK: It blows my mind that calling someone a "bastard" over there is roughly the equivalent as calling someone a "cocksucker" over here. And I've never understood out why "bloody" is considered so awful, across the pond.

 

[Cassie]

It's a bloody mystery.

 

[Love Child]

Bastards!

 

[Kerb Crawler]

I'm only offended by those cunts that don't believe in proper hygiene and maintenance.

 

[Laker_Girl]

I see cunt as the bigger, badder form of bitch. Anymore a bitch is a woman unafraid to speak her mind and stand up and be counted. So a cunt has the ultimate conviction behind the action. I'm a cunt, I admit it.

Men do fucking freak out when you call them a bitch or a cunt, it's hilarious. Further proof that women are the saner sex.

 

[The Dork Lord]

I'm a cunt, I admit it.

My work here is done

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don't think "bloody" is considered awful here at all.

 

[Laker_Girl]

My work here is done

Which was no work at all. I was a cunt long before you arrived just ask Chris.

 

[The Dork Lord]

I don't think "bloody" is considered awful here at all.

Bloody cunts are pretty awful...

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I only use the word here, and in gay bars when speaking of other gay men or drag queens.

Otherwise it's still a hot-button word in more polite circles.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I just shouted it at some little girls to gauge the public reaction.

I have to go to the police station now, back soon.

:shock:

 

[Dr Dave]

Good luck!
