I'm interested to hear other peoples views on profanity. Personally i cringe on hearing the "C" word - one that sounds like "shunt" and cannot think of a more offensive word. Not including racist/homophobic words.

If I really thought low of someone I'd probably call them an 'iDave', though that is probably enough to reduce them to tears...

(must admit, the line in Kickass raised an eyebrow, though)

The 'c' word can't be said with any conviction by Americans.
Or southerners.

All swear words are great, I use them all with careless abandon.
TBH, more offensive than c*** would be it's more formal relative, beginning with v..

I dont know why the c word is considered so offensive, I only really avoid it when in the presence of women or at work.

The P word as in Gary Glitter is probably one of the most offensive words, used as an insult on forums quite often to antagonise.

A fun book on this subject is, "Filthy English: The How, Why, When and What of Everyday Swearing" by Peter Silverton.
He says the c-word is the most offensive but the above can bring today's kids to tears.

I don't find the C word overly offensive in its own right, but it really really annoys me when people (mainly Scots) punctuate their sentences with it.
I tend to ignore anything such people say...Posted 1 year ago # -

I love the c word, it's especially good when used behind the wheel of your car.

It's just a word, a tad ruder than most but just a word.

I dont personaly find it offensive as at my work (Rail industry) It's almost used as a term of endearment. That said i'd never think of saying It in front of anyone I didn't know women or children.
I dont know about Americans not being able to carry It off as Larry david always does a decent job on 'Curb'.Posted 1 year ago # -
the 'c-word' is a term of endearment round these parts too in certain drinking establishments..
I'm going to go with peadophile..

I work in an industry where the ability to maintain hours of casual comedy swearing is considered an asset. Anybody who doesnt swear constantly is treated with deep suspicion.

i only use it to make point verbaly and you dont even have to shout when you say it, people get the drift of the C word, works better when used with the F word.

Do different to using the "p" word or "d" word. People get too upset over swearing, the most offensive things are be said with out a swear word in site. Swearing is just extra words with more vigour and punctuation, restrictions on swearing in adult environments are patronising.

The c-bomb seems to be the last taboo. I'll be glad when we finally get over this artificial "some words are offensive because we're told they're shocking" nonsense and find some things to actually worry about.
