Fuck and shit just ain’t cutting it anymore.
A lot of Americans who say “fuck” will still lose their goddamn minds if you say “cunt”.
Yeah, I say cunt a lot as an American. My mom hates it which is at least partially why I love it. Shit cunt is my favorite variation.
Once the shock value of a simple ‘cunt’ has worn off, ‘thundercunt’ is my next escalation.
Thundercunt seems like stepping down on shock value. I would be more likely to say that than just cunt by itself.
It has thunder in it, can’t get more shocking than thunder :P
In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, “pussy” is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to “bitch.”
I mean, it can be, but there are also other ways to use the term. It also is the only word in English that refers to the whole gentalia, not just the vagina or some other part. Gee I wonder why the word for female genatalia is considered dirty to a bunch of puritanical Americans. Reclaim it.
Vulva refers to the whole genitalia.
Vulva is external only.
Yeah, you’re right. Every definition I can find for cunt is either vulva or vagina, but none say it refers to both. I think it’s just used interchangeably for both. I think the only term that refers to everything would be “female reproductive organs” and “female genitalia”, but that does include things like the uterus and the ovaries that both vulva and vagina (and therefore cunt), don’t include. I could certainly be wrong though.
People in the small-town South don’t take it well when you call them sister-fuckers, either, as I quickly learned.
Didn’t stop me, though.
I know one, they get all bent over twat too
In England, twat (pronounced to rhyme with “hat”) is barely considered rude.
I was virtually raised by Australians so i’m a little more comfortable using that word than most people in America.
I like calling people inanimate objects. Being angrily called a “fucking waffle” or a “God damned acorn” hits different than the normal curses and slurs
Write that down! Write that down!
“Listen up, lollipops!”
Guess what “glans” means.
For best results, it depends on the context.
For example, when I’m dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I’ve found myself muttering “ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte”.
Classic. Troglodyte is an underrated one. I also like cretin.
You could go full British. “You absolute/complete/total (any noun)”
You absolute sponge.
You complete brick.
You total signpost.
Its all in the delivery. Say it with enough malice and anything is an insult.
**Puts on British voice
‘‘You tooting foghorn of ignorance’’
you UTTER building material
You fucking spanner.
Moist
My friend group uses Moist to mean awesome.
That’s pretty moist, my homie.
Moist sauce!
Stop trying to make “moist” happen
It’s already happened, and it continues happening.
It’s a medical condition. I can’t help it.
But I don’t think tankies would mind being called “Moist”.
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant “Maoist”.
he he
Heard a lesbian once say they have the same reaction to the term “shaft”
It is a Dead Like Me series reference
Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It’s not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.
I wouldn’t use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn’t racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn’t a slur but gets treated as if it was one.
✓ quite offensive
✓ not a slur
X you probably still shouldn’t use it
The only reason people use this word is because it sounds like the slur. If you’re choosing words just so you can say “Actually, it’s technically not a slur,” you’re just being racist.
It never matters what is, only what people think, is.
This essentially sums up cutting education and ramping propaganda.
It could be argued that the term comes from racist roots and therefore using it is racist.
You could argue that if you make up the argument I guess.
In a professional setting: disappointment is the strongest word I’ve ever said to someone
Outside that? I don’t know if there is a good cutoff between slur/not slur… The one I vividly remember was old Chinese social media users (before the blockage) calling some people “Wumao” (translates to 50 cents). This is implying that the person is being a troll, and they did it because they were so pathetic that they accepted a 50-cent commission from the government to say good/bad things on the internet. Probably still the worst insult I could imagine till this day; modern equivalent might be calling someone “nice job ChatGPT” or a “Russian bot”
As an Australian, I would like to introduce you to a word more offensive than “fuck” while just as versatile, and that is “Cunt”.
Big fan of the word. I use it frequently. I also eat Vegemite and say she’ll be right. Big fan of y’all.
Yeah nah. Do you go to the servo for smoko? Ever get some dim sims from the fish and chippery? Ever chuff down durries, while eyeing up some ranga chick squeezing dead horse on her fritters?
May I please have a translation for “squeezing dead horse on her fritters”? I assume fritters is some sort of food, but the dead horse has peaked my interest.
Excuse me my apologies, may I please have a translation for “squeezing dead horse on her fritters”, ya cunt?
Is it glue? But you don’t normally eat glue, so my guess is mayo or ranch maybe?
Dead horse is tomato sauce (ketchup)
It rhymes.
Fritters are deep fried, could be potato, but sometimes you get banana.
No, but at least I don’t have to deal with Telstra.
M8 Telstra is a cakewalk compared to Centrelink.
I’ll take your word for it m8. Hey, any chance you can get me a date with Bindi Irwin?
Cunt is one of the most Australian words I know. I sadly left OZ more than a decade ago,but I still get a bit of a melancholic feeling whenever I hear it.
The fact that you can also say cunt in an positive sense is fucking funny.
Sick cunt! And Oi cunt is always a bit of a hit and miss for someone who is not an native Australian slang speaker.
(Oi cunt once got me thrown out of an irish pub somewhere in County Cork - when used to greet my Australian mate
Bogan is also a word that needs much more recognition worldwide. Same as Drongo and Fair dinkum. And so many others.
Call someone sticky, and dont use it like an insult say it like you are being genuine. If they try to hand you something shy away and be like “oh um no I’m sorry, you’re just kinda sticky” garentee that’ll leave a mark
Muppet, munter, twat. Just start using UK insults
the answer is obviously “weatherboy”
Is that a reference to something?
Wouldnt you like to know Weatherboy
I guess I was really only half curious
Thanks, that is amazing and has improved my morning significantly!
I’m french and I tend to swear using disgraced politician. You say “Sac à manuel valls” instead of “Sac à merde” ( Bag of shit ) and you can probably do the same with other well hated politician. There nothing like blamming Manuel Valls when I stub my toe.
The only French I know is le chat mange. I’m a big fan of your language, even though it confuses the hell out of me.
It confuse the hell out of me too. The rules are confusing and there is often stuff that contradict itself.
I’m usualy make more mistake in french than in english. I even tend to speak english when I’m too tired because french consume too much brain power.
I tried learning it for a while because I really like Jacques Brel. Then I realized I was in over my head and decided to focus on Esperanto instead. I hope to try French again someday. Y’all have amazing accents as well.
Must be nice to have disgraced politicians. Wouldn’t work in my country.
We’re not done yet. There’ll be a lot, but it might take a while.
You must have some, you just have to find them.
Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.
Champ.
Yahoo#1: “The Earth is flat, didn’t you know?”
You: “Alright, Champ.”
Lately I’ve been a big fan of “bungalow”, to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.
