Why?

Why?

 

good question. probably down to the connotations of it. as an owner of that piece of anatomy, I don't like the way its used as a swear word.

 

I was brought up not to swear, but things I don't consider offensive, my Mum does. I guess I was also brought up that as an intelligent person I don't need to resort to swearing to get my point across, and that as well as being offensive its just lazy.

Very well said.:cool:

Well to be honest, I agree with you, it's not a very nice word, I've only been using it because of Mark's ridiculous response to me using it to describe his attitude. I only really swear in real life if I am very annoyed at something, even then it's usually just "fuck".

 

I just wanted to see what your response was to that question because most people don't have an answer to why that word is so much "worse" than say "dick", they are both after all sexual organs.

 

Swearing every other word yes probably shows a lack of vocabulary, but swearing occasionally does not in any way hint at a lack of intelligence, they are just emotive words that when used in the correct sense are effective

 

For your information, Cunt is considered as bad as it is because it was orignally just a derogatory word towards women in general, not referring to the vagina (by the way anyone who refers to their vagina as their "cunt" is not a person I would want to converse with) It is to sexism what "nigger" is to racism, or at least it was, not anymore, but that is why there is an overlying "oooooooooo" every time someone says it on TV

 

Speaking of using it in TV/Film, it can be a great comedy enhancer "Any of you cunts want a drink" is probably one of the best opening lines for a character I have ever heard (Shaun of the Dead)

 

Anyway, this was just my "Hey look, I'm not a bastard I was just winding up Mark" post.

Mel looks like she's wearing a hat :lol:

 

but it's a lovely picture :D

 

What's so funny? I WAS wearing a hat:D

 

And Mich, I appreciate the photoshopping you did to remove the enormous spot on my face:shame:

Well then it's being used in a non-aggressive, non-insulting manner (among friends, presumably), so it's a different matter entirely. I still think a different word could have been used, however.

Well seeing as you've now admitted that, don't do it. Simple solution.

But it was fun :(

What are those??? :thinking:

never said that, just objected to that one word. I read far too many posts on this forum and base my opinions on what I read in those threads. :thinking: I'd prefer to read fewer posts as I have other things to do on the forums and on Wiki as well.

 

And this time I really am logging off to do my Christmas cards, plus I need my weekly Simon Cowell fix :laugh3:.

Haven't you got bored with each other already?

But it was fun :(

 

didn't look like that from the top of the fence :dozey:

Ahh! reality telly! i thought it was over for a bit after jungle finished last night...but....Ahhhhh! :lol:

didn't look like that from the top of the fence :dozey:

 

I bet, but on my side of the fence, trust me, it was fun

But it was fun :(

 

Then go and find something equally "fun" to do, like supporting the Potters or something......................... :rolleyes:

Haven't you got bored with each other already?

 

 

 

You do realise that you will make things worse with posts like that?

That much was obvious.

Oh go and get a job.

Well I mentioned to Jack how annoying statements like that are, as they tend to come jsut as the argument had died down.

You do realise that you will make things worse with posts like that?

Hmm, no, actually I don't. How?

I have one, thanks, and I like it very much.:smug:

 

What is your job mark? I've no idea:\

^cute

 

naah, but thanks... you're very cute indded.

 

you look so different from what i remembeeeer.

ok, maybe the fact that I have'nt seen a pic of you in a coupe of years probably has something to do with it..

but the messy-haired, tired, unshaved look suits you :nice:(weird compliment, i know).

 

Yeah, I think I've changed... I'm about to be 20 now... :lol:

 

 

:\

 

Heh, yeah it's a weird compliment, but thanks! You look very pretty-fresh in your recent pictures... as always from what I remember. ;)

Ana (rush), and me :) We met today :nice:

Haven't you got bored with each other already?

 

wondering the same thing... haven't these guys got other things to do this Saturday rather than being here making up stupid arguments? :thinking:

Cool pic Daniela! not sure who's the other girl actually.
