The C word is less offensive in Britain than in North American countries. 

Truth.
Everything is offensive in America, though. Sad.

Depends tho. There's stuff that has a good reason for being offensive.

 

I understand something like the F word being considered offensive to be kinda extra given the contexts it's typically used in

 

But there's many words where either the history or context it's used in is meant to be offensive. At least here in North America when someone calls someone a c*nt it's meant to be offensive and a very strong negative word. It's not just calling someone a jerk

 

Then there's ppl who get offended over everything especially on social media. That I get North Americans tend to be petty with. But it doesn't mean that nothing is justified in being seen offensively

The fact that they have the level of disrespect to name themselves "kunt" tells me they are even bigger "c*nts" than Boris

we use this word so much in the U.K. it’s really not that deep for us hahahah 

if someone is slightly annoying us we’ll say “oi stop being a c*nt”

Pretty much although it tends to just be men that use it in my experience, 90% of women i know hate the word and find it vulgar

Yeah definitely different from here then

 

It's it's one of the most offensive generalized terms u can use. I think the only thing that would be worse is a racial slur like the N word

 

Like kids would use the F word in school all the time and even tho most teachers didn't like it, the most that would happen is they would tell kids to stop that it wasn't appropriate

 

But say "c*nt" and ur straight into principals office and a suspension is very possible too

Yeah definitely and I think it depends on age too, I’m 18 so the majority of people I know tend to be okay with the word

however I told my mum (55) about the news of this song debuting at #5 and she gasped when I said that word  so it does still hold some weight haha

This is interesting actually! I imagine it is quite a culture shock for both Americans and British people as we tend to swear a lot more 

We can make passing jokes about it and no one would bat an eye, it’s a good thing that it is rarely used as a misogynistic slur here, it’s more to describe someone who is being a d*ckhead

It's like my parents with the F word

 

They still haven't digested or accepted how far down the chain and hierarchy of swear words f*ck has fallen in terms of level of offensiveness

 

It's used casually like "that f-in hurt" or "f*** that's awesome" etc. So many casual contexts in casual conversations and it's such a light swear word these days. Like naughty at the most for young people. But for her Generation many still take it as a huge deal

 

I was telling my mom how the most offensive things u can say to someone now is "c*nt" (as we just discussed) or a discriminatory slur like the N word or f*gg*t. Nobody cares about the F word anymore but it's ingrained in her head that it's so horrible same with my dad 

 

Like my dad is ok with whatching movies with ppl getting shot and killed but will turn it off if they start swearing with the F word. I'm like, how the hell is the f word more problematic than murder

It's still a very strong curse word but doesn't carry the same misogynistic weight 

It's typically a term of endearment between I and most people I know haha

Here in Canada we would just say douchebag, jerk, a$$hole or d*ckhead as you said to call someone that. You technically could say "c*nt" and it's not unheard of but again, it's a very agressive and offensive way of saying it

 

You don't casually call that to someone who is being a bit of a douche bag. You would say that to someone who is really really pissing you off and you want to convey with as strong a word as possible how much that d*ckhead is pissing you off

Good

also, the word c*nt is incredibly casual in the UK, especially in Scotland

[vyle 652]

Ahahahahaha the tea tho 

Boris is a c*nt

I’ve been watching AHS asylum with my mom these past few days and she’s fine watching bloody face skin people alive & violence but goes “do they really have to show that?” If a sex scene comes on
