that is called attention seeking iDave

I’d rather be called a **** than a Piers Morgan

I like how the word **** has entered our (my) language. As if one can be in the act of ****.

E.g. Dropping a freshly made sandwich…”Jesus **** Christ!”

The absurdity takes the offensive edge off.

Or to call someone a **** little bastard. It’s like the double negative of swearing.

I’ll **** off now 😀

Ah, auto censor. It should read c-word+ing. As in Good Will Hunting.

He doesn’t like it if you call him CharlesMungus, I’ve discovered

You discovered? Like Columbus discovered America maybe!

Since when has the vocal appreciation of the opposite sex been illegal?

….so surely girl having a middle aged bloke talking to her for 5 mins would have been “better”? 😉 🙂

They’ve just called last orders at my local too hora 😀
So there’s this girl I met again today who I really like. Last time I met her was about 2 months ago, previously about a year. Because of her job it will be unlikely that our paths will cross again in the near future. She doesn’t seem completely repulsed by me, but because I’m shy and bashful, I failed to say it would be great to meet you again.
I could probably find her email address, and email her, that it would be great to meet up next time she’s about, but would that appear weird and desperate (I am slightly weird and desperate if this helps), or should I play it cool and wait another year, and hope that I’ve grown some in the mean time?
With all your flash grenade experience I’m hoping you can advise.

Northerners swearing and especially using the c-word sound too soft.
The accents take away the harshness that is needed for swearing to be effective.

To my ears they make the c-word become like the f-word alternative as used in Father Ted and it loses its power.

May contain a rude word

You must know some funny Northerners. It sounds like “can’t” in Southern to me.

WTF did you revive this Hora ?

(and does your vocal appreciation involve the word “c***” ?

You must know some funny Northerners. It sounds like “can’t” in Southern to me.

That’s only if it’s said by a Northerner doing a bad Dick Van Dyke cockerney accent!

You’re saying it wrong dude, it should sound like ‘Kent’ as in ‘Bench of Kents’

Not cool to rhyme with hunt.

Offensive to whom? In general or to say to an individual? Personal comments are far more offensive I find.
Calling a woman ‘fat’ or ‘ugly’ will offend more than the ‘C’ word. Add two or more of these words together though and you will really sicken them! 😆

It’s all about context, surely?
