    I have an intense hatred of that word. I just think it's the vilest derogatory term ever...lol. I rather someone tell me to go eff myself or something like that. I remember having a hated exchange w/someone and them calling me a "cunt" omg...I hate that word.

    sorry...I needed to say that :o

    I used to as well but it's thrown around so much on here that it's meaningless to me now. :o

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Don't get me wrong, as I said, I would NEVER use it against a woman that I was pissed off at. Any word but that. As an insult to a woman, it's horrible, though I think it's more so for americans. It's not nearly as taboo here. I don't use it as an insult :)

    Also, I used to hate it too. I was corrupted... by female friends of all people :D

    Exactly. once a word is just another word, it loses it's power to offend and that HAS to be a good thing, yes?

    Truth is, I almost find it kind of funny when it's a man saying it to another man. (Maybe funny's not the right word. Kinda silly and almost ENDEARING)!! :eek:
    I certainly wouldn't say it to anyone's face and I don't really like saying it over the internet because, well, I'm a mother and I think all humour would be lost if I said it.
    I suppose it's a bit different for a woman because it's like referring them to 'pussy' maybe. But in a far cruder sense.
    But really, like you said, it's just a word but you should take other people's (not YOU) but people's feelings should be taken in to account.

    Yeah, I'm all for the "a word is just a word and as such shouldn't matter" philosophy until someone calls me a republican and then I'm left with little choice but to kill them.

    I agree totally. As I said, I would never have said it to this person if I wasn't drunk, not knowing her well. She had no idea I wasn't serious and I had no idea how she would take it. I know none of my friends think anything of it and we just all talk to each other a certain way and, as you say, it's kind of silly. It's a horrible word when used as an insult and a hilarious word, phonetically, when used as just another word. I'm particularly fond of saying it as an impression of Begbie from Trainspotting. I should do THAT more often so people KNOW I'm kidding :D

    Call me anything you want but if you call me anything pertaining to conservatism I will stab you in the urethra.

    Oh yeah..I do think it's more of a taboo here...people from other countries don't seem bothered by it. But it's nice to know that you don't call women that :).

    What if you add face to the end of that word? Would it make it a little more light-hearted so it'd be an acceptable, yet still rude joke to you? Rather than offensive?

    Or the second you hear the first four letters sounded together the fist is already half way to the jaw? :p

    Cuntface is another favourite of mine! :D Along with any number of words affixed to the end. -bag, -nose, -brick. Anything to make it sound comical rather than unpleasant.

    Well you know...I really should have explained better. If someone were to tell a joke and the word happened to be in the joke..alright..not so bad. Maybe poor taste but Im talking more about people pulling it out in an argument. Im just thinking of a specific situation where someone did that....I remember thinking..ick...

    Gotcha! I'd just rather be safe and never pull it out in any situation then. :p Thank goodness for the thesaurus!

    Just to make it clear to everyone...being brought up to have common decency, respect, civility and manners does not just mean you don't or shouldn't tell people to fuck off.
    It is being loyal, kind and truthful.
    Not calling people out on a message board or talking about them on a different message board or being their dumb friend on facebook and then being a jerk to or about them here.
    Remember, not defending a friend is not being respectful of said friend.
    Just thought I would mention, in case people were wondering.

    :D:D I love when you do that!

    And to answer the thread topic, sure my Dad drummed into us "stop that fucking swearing" :D from when we were only little tackers, but I think there are times when it's highly appropriate to tell someone to fuck off. It can mean so many things anyway.

    Like fuck off and don't come back.
    Fuck off, you must be joking
    Fuck off, really?
    Fuck off, I love you
    Fuck off, I hate you

    I guess it's all about context. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Nope :( for fuck sake... what if you actually WANT to offend someone?

    I fucking hate hate HATE the word cunt... and I don't like it used in an endearing manner... cos there are some people who are so vile that there is just no other word to call them... I think there are maybe two people I've called this in my lifetime cos if you say it with the right amount of venom, it cuts... and it's mildly therapeutic. Don't take this away. What would we call those people then?
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    In my head, the word doesn't even signify anything female or anatomical, and shouldn't be used in reference to a woman, lest it be perceived as reducing the woman to the said, er, portion. For me, the word is just a great noise, best pronounced in a cockney accent as "kyaaaaaant". I use the word exclusively to males, either as a term of endearment to my dad or brother, or as a term of derision to anyone else. The mental image I have when I think of the term is not any nether part of anyone's body, but rather, a close-up of Piers Morgan's face.
