man, you guys throw that word around almost to the point where it has no force. that is the one word and i mean the one word that you do not use in public over here. it is so taboo that it borders on the ridiculous. it is also the easiest way to cause a woman to come literally unglued over here. if you do call a woman that, you'd better be quick at ducking because shit is going to start flying at your head. LOL and there's the pudding and the proof about social taboos. What one culture sees as the most abhorrent word in the English language, another culture shrugs their shoulders, completely uncaring of it's context or meaning.... Which makes you think about a lot of stuff really...how much value we attach to things, that differ culturally and regionally...how one person can be so deeply affected by a word - yet another person could get called it all day and not bat an eyelid. It's really down to what you as a person attach to the word - how you define it and what images your mind conjures up - also bringing to the fore all your childhood lessons on manners and respectability, and what you have been told is right, and wrong. It's an interesting element of society - especially as we share the same language (but I would add, that's pretty much all we share culturally) - I cannot fathom how you could be affected by a word like that - yet similarly some people cannot fathom it's use - it simply denotes too much. Personally, I feel the same way about that you do about the C word as the N word - over here, the N word is worse than the C word even by American standards - and sometimes the veracity with which this culturally agravating word is used in the US astounds me all the time - that to me is an expression of evil. The C word, well the worst you really could call it is vulgar. It's certainly not used to destroy and devalue either a gender or a culture, and certainly never carried the same weight as the N word. Makes you think eh. Thread hijack over.

Wait a second, hold the presses! Contrary to my early report, I have seen this movie! In fact, for years I tried to figure out the title of this film as I could only remember the tiniest bits and pieces of it from my childhood. Thanks, Lou...I was seriously trying to figure out the name of this movie for ages. Well, I'm glad I could assist! Even if it's pointing you in the direction of a movie you probably didn't want to see again on some level.

Well, I'm glad I could assist! Even if it's pointing you in the direction of a movie you probably didn't want to see again on some level. Oh, I'll doubt I'll ever watch it. Maybe a few minutes, maybe, but I'm just glad to connect the dots in my memory.

My new favourite phrase...next to "you terrible c*nt" Ahem...you're welcome. -- -------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ---------- man, you guys throw that word around almost to the point where it has no force. that is the one word and i mean the one word that you do not use in public over here. it is so taboo that it borders on the ridiculous. it is also the easiest way to cause a woman to come literally unglued over here. if you do call a woman that, you'd better be quick at ducking because shit is going to start flying at your head. Aye, it's one of the few "words of curse" left that has any real power in it's use. Although, I'm quick to point out that it's usually just chauvinism when women get their knickers in a twist when they hear it. I've said before to the wife when she goes off on one, that if I'd used "prick, dick, balls or bollocks", she wouldn't have batted an eyelid. And any woman throwing shit at my head better start ducking too, cos it'll be flying back at her. ...and I can throw better, cos I'm a boy :P
