Its not my fault this world is full of bigotry,thats the reason why i cuss so much.


Ah but cussing won't change it as that in itself is a form of bigotry...look at the word 'C**T' for example... that is often used as an insult to females, lol. I see it as a form of bigotry anyway. Also, there might be someone younger than you on here posting, or with stricter parents...and they could end up not being allowed on here because their parents saw your cussing posts... that wouldn't be nice as that member would then lose their haven.

No, as a noun its usually an insult to a guy, but it all depends on context. Can be an adjective e.g. "this is a c**t of a thing". When I'm away on secret mens business (hunting, fishing, etc), c**t can be said from one guy to another in a friendly way (especially if prefixed with "you old", as in a reply to a practical joke:

Bazza: Hey, Fatty, try one of these new wasabi crackers
Fatty: What's wasabi
Bazza: Japanese stuff
Fatty: OK
eats wasabi cracker
Fatty: you c**t

More common, "bastard" (as in you old bastard) can be a term on endearment in Aussie slang.

I agree with that point. Also (especially as text) IMHO it tends to make the "cusser" look less intelligent. There are usually more appropriate words, but on occasion, they do convey the right emotion.

IMO language should be adjusted for the setting you are in. This is a "family show", so swearing/cussing should be used sparingly if at all.

A c**t is a difficult bastard of a person, can be either sex.

I think coming the c**t is a Scottish colloquialism meaning to be obstinate and difficult.

It depends on the situation for me. If it's to get attention and/or annoy us then it shouldn't really be there. But if it's to genuinely say goodbye, then it's perfectly viable. They want to say why they're leaving. Here's two quotes from one leaving thread that I think sums it up:

KBABZ wrote:
Imagine that I left. No reason [given*]. I was gone for a week [on holiday**], no explanation, zap, gone. People'd wonder why. That's what a leaving thread is for. It's just a public announcement. "Oh, just in case you're wondering, I'm leaving WP. Here's your chance to say your goodbyes and wish me well." I'd sure as anything make one of those if I ever left for whatever reason.

*Added for quote, not in original post
**Same as Above

Lau wrote:
To use an analogy... someone is just leaving your house. They put their coat on. You escort them to the door. It's snowing outside. You invite them to stay over. They say no. Then they talk about how deep the snow is. Then they say maybe they will stay. Then they say they're going after all. Then they're not sure. All this while, you're standing in you shirtsleeves out on the doorstep getting frozen stiff.

Really?

It may in the US its used differently. A woman has a c**t, an a***hole of a man is a c**t.

edit: it used to be this site automatically censorred, not it doesn't appear to.

It means the same here, too. I guess calandale doesn't watch HBO.

No. I don't. Or any spewings of the evil box.


bazza the censor works for some words. Not sure why this one is omitted.
Don't count on it though. It doesn't effect the original post, so it could change
unexpectedly. Please try to keep your language clean so as not to corrupt
innocent young 'uns like myself.

I have heard a man call another man a tw*t, which is the same thing as a c*nt. It is in the UK anyway, I think. Not that I use that kind of language myself, of course. Oh dear me no! 8O
