Google Vs. The English

[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.

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.

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.

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.

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

Tis truly one of our favourite words, never really understood why people would find it offensive.

I particularly like using it in clever puns, for example: 'Adam puts the '****' in 'Countryfile'.

 

[Marmooset]

Google knows all.

 

[enzilewulf]

Can't stop loling at this. That's pretty funny though. I should do this but with America. Type that in and a picture of a cheese burger comes up.

 

[fix-the-spade]

That's probably not a bad description to be honest, it's probably why we still think we're important in the world.

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.

Hang on a minute Doctorpuss, aren't you from Canadaland?

Stop projecting your nationality you c... anadian.

 

[putowtin]

English c**t and proud!

 

[mlooshka]

Awww... they've changed it. http://www.google.co.uk/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=define+an+English+person I fully expect the panel shows to have a field day with this one, though.

Still, at least we've got our effin activist movement. http://www.limerickleader.ie/lifestyle/entertainment/effin_woman_s_facebook_campaign_to_get_county_limerick_village_recognised_goes_global_1_3330331

 

[HimochiIsAwesome]

Ahaha, oh Google, ye c***. Haha, so true of us Brits to be amused by this instead of insulted. It's like one of those moments when you start typing something and one of the suggestions is strange~
Nice t'see Google is aquiring humor. It's only so long 'til it gains AI and plots to kill us.

Feminist Scholar Germaine Greer

I'd say "scholar" is taking it a bit far.

 

[albear]

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

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

This was the first thing to pop into my mind along with a sketch of Vince going into the Google Office and just hearing those words followed by screams

 

[ElPatron]

What's so wrong with saying kut at the end of every phrase, junge?

 

[Treblaine]

Feminist Scholar Germaine Greer

I'd say "scholar" is taking it a bit far.

Well she is a Professor. Though more recently she has been much more of a commentator.

 

[Jazoni89]

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.

Wow, shit like this makes me proud to be English, we take so much pleasure in ripping the crap out of us that nothing offends us anymore.

I'm crying tears of joy, I'm such a soppy C***.
