The "C" word

How do you ladies feel about this word? I know it's disrespectful but would you consider it a red flag if a guy called you this, even as a joke?

Do you think a man who uses this word has the potential to be an abuser?

I've only used it in reference to a tile cut giving my problems at work. Saying you fucking cut right before I shatter it on the ground into dozens of pieces doesn't feel as good as using the profanity it sounds similar to.

Another pointless thread that simply requires some common sense.

No one's forcing you to be here.

I'm actually kind of curious of what you consider a thread that isn't pointless. I've never seen you post something thought provoking, let alone a thread that was meaningful to anyone ever.

I’ve no issue with the guy i‘m with saying *i love your cunt“

Using it as an insult as in you’d say “you‘re a shit“ isn’t good to me.

Different leagues.

Can spot the Aussies in this thread lmao

3 words!

Respect respect respect ✌🏻

I’m offended by the term if they are referencing me and yes I wouldn’t give any attention to anyone calling me a cunt. Have been called it before and it really irks me!

On the other hand if we are talking sexually that’s a different ball game.

For me it’s just another swear word, no worse than others. It’s so casually used here it can refer to a person in general. As in “This cunt over here......” with no malice involved. This is a broad generalisation of its use in Australia though. It really depends on the social setting and group.

I think there’s a difference in saying that cunt over there and you’re a cunt!!!

If someone called you a cunt to your face I don’t think it would go down quite as well.

I live in Australia and have citizenship but I’m a kiwi and to me it’s highly offensive to be called a cunt directly. I guess you could say it is in the way it’s delivered or in the statement itself.

Yeh I can't imagine myself calling a female a cunt as anything other than abusive. I'd call a mate one and it's fine but not a female. Seems different . That's how it is in England, I think

Lol Aussies only bond by abusing each other anyway so it's normal for them 😆

Didn't you say not to get all americany offended because it's a term of endearment? When I brought this up once... 🤔

Call CNN and tell them you caught a Gem being inconsistent

lol he was Irish tho they're even worse

You're all a bunch of wankers 🤣😂🤣

No problem with that 🤣🤣🤣

cunt is a great word, never been bothered by it

I heard a thrash metal guitarist give out to a guy on the late bus for using the word cunt as an insult. He said “how could something so beautiful be used in such an insulting way”

Couldn’t have said it better myself...

A conference dinner with those long tables, bringing many people together. Good food and wine, networking, making friends. Suddenly, a moment of silence...young Undine just asked, a bit louder than it should have: “What does cunt mean?”

This was because someone was whispering into my ear things about his very successful female boss, and I honestly thought that he was admiring her and that “cunt” was an endearing word 🤣

Good job I didn’t carry on, asking loud “What do you think that makes the successful scientist X....a cunt?”

Anyway, the wine made it fun...They took it upon themselves to teach me some more British slang and expressions afterwards.

After reading all the comments I realized my post read like I was shading someone who commented on this thread. Was too lazy to edit from my phone so I just deleted it.
