Google Vs. The English

[-Dragmire-]

snip

Your first two articles of the day focus on boobs and cunts... got something on your mind or is this happy accident territory?

 

[Fappy]

Yeah, I was about to say... I thought the English use that word all the time.

 

[Treblaine]

Calling an Englishman a "****" is like barking at a dog.

Next people will aggressively drink tepid beer at you.

"A Lager maybe. Or a glass of water like you drink. But a pint of stout?"

(Ah, back when COD games were classy and had wit. Before they were just melodramatic ponce)

 

[chif-ii]

Every Englishman I know has been amused by this. Cheerful self-loathing is a significant part of the British character - if it weren't we would stop playing cricket against other countries.

Can you imagine the response if the phrase had been "Define an American"? There would have been rioting in the streets.

Rue Britannia.

Oh. My. God.

Good sir, you are brilliant! We HAVE to do this.

Okay, so here's the plan, everybody; we Googlebomb the phrase "Define an American" so that the first result is the wikipedia page for the movie "Meet the Fockers".

One time a girl actually crossed over to me to tell me she found my tshirt offensive, so I asked her what part. Nearly earnt me a slap.

had that been me, i would've said "you're offended by cunts? dont want to alarm you... but there's one right down there. *points at her crotch.*"
because i'm a dick.

OT: i heard about that from Stephen Fry's twitter feed.
i kinda want to blame the scottish... sorta thing we'd do.

I'm glad I'm Welsh

as a scotsman i feel i must say... no you arent. you're welsh. (i actually dont mind the welsh. i have a black welsh friend.)

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I'm english and I'd say that it is a fairly accurate description. :-D

 

[imnot]

Its funny because its true!
Skullgirls logic says im allowed to say that because I am english so there mods!

 

[crotalidian]

**** got its bad reputation mainly from feminists, its basically the female analog of calling someone a cock etc. but being such a blunt and satisfying thing to say made some more sensitive souls feel that it deserved to be taboo'd.

A while back I realised how much we english use it so tried to take it one step further and get an even more offensive sounding name for female genitalia into circulation

Spoiler

Clunge

its also pretty satisfying to say, but say it too much and you feel like you need a hot shower. I would say that Aussies seem to use it much more readily, but they are basically the lowest denomination of brittons *trollface*

 

[anonymity88]

Ironically the people least likely to be offended by the page are the English themselves; as we tend to use the word particularly liberally. Often in lieu of punctuation, in fact.

Speak for yourself you miserable c--


...oh wait now I see. I feel like I should care more than I do about this, but it was pretty funny.

 

[YodaUnleashed]

I'm British (English specifically I guess) and that's damned funny, but then I have a sense of humour and a nonchalant personality so few things rarely offend me anyway. You have to take things seriously before they can have a serious affect on you.

 

[MonkeyPunch]

David Mitchell makes everything better <3
The ****.

 

[Valanthe]

I am going to be singing Kevin Bloody Wilson all day long now, this made my day

[Tallim]

Quick, I need a picture of Vince from Mongrels now!

"Did you just call me a c***?"

Hehe yeah:


I'm from the west country where the f-word gets used instead of "erm" and as a modifier for almost anything in casual language.

As Stephen Fry tweeted about this particular story the English are probably the only nation who would actually find this funny.

 

[PatrickXD]

Surely it's not that offensive? I just find this funny, not hurtful!
I use the word all the time. heck, everyone I know in England who curses seems to gravitate towards **** as much as fuck!

 

[Togs]

Is it just me that finds this kinda funny?

I mean it is a quintessential English swear word.

Plus I eagerly await the Daily Mails response, the derp and rage will keep warm over the winter.

 

[Puddleknock]

Ha now that is pretty funny.

I agree that it one of the few remaining words in English with the power to really shock people.

 

[godofallu]

So there is no privately funded army working for Google to destroy the English?

I suppose definition of an English person = cunts in interesting too.

 

[megajon]

This is sooo true my friend told me type it in google yesterday and we both agreed we english are cunts right to the core, best thing about us english we know we are cunts.

 

[LiquidGrape]

Self-censorship is, IMO, even worse than forced censorship. It's a word, if you want to use it, use it, and anyone who can't stomach it is a ****. And the article author is cunting right, we do say **** a lot over here in cuntland. ****.

What an inspiring stance for individual freedom.
- Screw the sensitivities of others as long as I get to keep my silly werds!

Honestly, it's as if people fight harder for the right to be unpleasant more than anything else.

 

[ultimateownage]

Love the Mitchell and Webb image.
I'm not sure if it was insulting the English, or they were saying the word **** defines us because of how frequently it's said. **** has lost it's sting here just as much as all of the other swears. In fact, we don't really 'rank' our swears all that much apart from on national television.

I think we shoud take back the word ****.
As a british person I can use the word ****... You non-english can't, it's our word.
As in "My cunts and I, drinking our cuppas. We aren't concerned with the filth because we have batons too and we will bust up a **** in our overly-small and poorly insulated house"

And personally I think Mitchelland Webb are great examples of british people.

This fine **** knows where it's at.
