United Kingdom Privilege (NSFW)

[VanQ]

3 pages and 105 posts in and the current tally of times the word **** has been said is 93 and no banhammers including this post. Let's aim for 100 you cunts!

...94...

Nah, TF doesn't trigger c*nts, he is one.

Grey agrees:

[tweet t=https://twitter.com/GreyTheTick/status/593062071597543425]

Hmm, not sure how to feel about that one. I'm not sure if the comic was entirely sarcastic, if the tweet is sarcastic, or if it's Grey saying "it's okay when I do it" here. Or just taking a potshot at thunderf00t. Besides, I think TF would take being called a **** about the same way I do, as a term of endearment.

I find americans elongate the word "****" and just doesn't sound right when they use it.

Bollocks! When have you ever heard an American say ****?! We would burn people at the stake for uttering that word. Which is a goddamn shame, because I love saying ****.

Maybe it's the accent. I don't know. Or maybe it's that most Americans are too afraid to say it proudly, for fear of being burned at the stake.

you can keep the word fanny

As an American with a lineage that's about a quarter Scotch-Irish I suppose I can literally just say one letter.

Perhaps one at a time? "C." "U." "N." "T."

Or back to back? "C. U. N. T."

Maybe I can just spell it? "C-U-N-T."

This feels a bit unfair, if I'm being honest.

I suppose I can just let other folks, like an entire nation, say it for me.

I never swear, but only because I find it to sound bad on my end... as in, I don't sound logical when I say it. So I never speak of such words and describe things differently. For example the common person may say-

Random Person: "AAHHHH F*** I STUBBED MY TOE!! GOD D*** IT!!"

Me" "OOOoowwwwwwwww ... holy crap, my toe! I hit it quite hard and now i'm in sheer pain!!"

... Lame I know.

Hey at least you communicate it, I just say "Chingado" in a really deadpan but annoyed tone everyone just thinks I'm just minorly annoyed, one time I accidentally got burned with a hot pan and my skin got sticked to it so when I dropped it and it took a piece of my skin with it everyone thought I was just annoyed that I accidentally dropped and no one even realized I had charred skin hanging from my arm and pus was coming out where the skin used to be, it was disgusting but I was to busy to stop working at the time.

You come from the land that gave us Trailer Park Boys. If anything, I would think this would be right up your fucking alley. :O

Congrats, guys! I'm glad to hear that by being white privileged men from a country that has oppressed people around the world for centuries, both male and female, you can freely use a word that is exclusively a derogatory term for female genitalia. Hell, why don't you just give yourselves the pass to use the n-word whenever you feel like it and toss around some homophobic slurs while you're at it? I see no flaws with this plan.

Hey man no need to be a racist **** about it.

 

[EeviStev]

Well, that's one way of getting me to read an entire forum thread. (Quite the entertaining read, mind; good show, old cunts).

Also a great way of making the word "****" lose all meaning.

Yup. This looks like bait. Just back quietly away...

You have ****, but we have spaz. That one is pretty benign here but is pretty controversial in the land where people drink tea and never see the sun.

Hey, that's not entirely fair. We get to see the sun anytime we want, in pictures and Television. Westerns on a high brightness and colour setting is how I work on catching my lushious rays!
There is definately a lot of tea here though. Not sure who keeps leaving it, but can't complain.

I'm Scottish and we use **** as a friendly term as well an insult:

"Paul? Aye, Pauls a good ****".
"Paul? Aye, he's a fucking ****".

We just don't see the problem with the term at all. Saying that, Kevin Bridges (comedian) said it better than most that we use swearing in place of punctuation.

I kinda hate that I can't bring myself to type it either. Too repressed I guess. I was going to do something like "Critical Miss" more like "C***able Miss" but my prudish childhood just keeps winning out...

 

[sageoftruth]

As an American with no fondness for words like those, I consider it a privilege.

Check your privilege, ****.

OT: Surprised nobody has caused genuine uproar yet about this comic seemingly implying that Ireland is part of the UK.

Sorry. What I was trying to say was, I'm pleased to live among people who cannot use that word.

But it's only a word.

A vulgar word. The fewer of those I have to listen to on a daily basis, the better for me. Still, I must admit that even without that word, people in the US really are no less vulgar in the way some of them speak. Also, it somehow sounds less vulgar when said in the UK.

I **** remember Ireland oppressing anyone actually. We just weren't that kind of a cuntry.

I just love Gavin's passport.

Also I'm wondering what Canadians have a card for...

Generally, it's one for people's blind trust.

Quite the powerful card to have, use it well.

Until like, two years ago when I saw a kerfuffle on the internet about someone (in America, obviously) using the "slur", not only was I not aware of that perception, I actually thought the insult was gendered male. I'm not sure if, in the whole 19 years of my life before that, I'd ever even heard a woman being called a ****, and I wasn't exactly sheltered from swearwords.

Although, actually based on that I think we can make a rule that works for both sides of the pond; "****" only becomes a slur when you're actually using it to refer to a woman, and in any other context is just an ordinary swearword, although I think it is also the strongest normal swearword the language has, other than compound ones like "************" and the elder swear [https://youtu.be/TqTHmzMk0Cw?t=4m10s].

You're giving simple words too much influence over your life. "****" has many different meanings depending on the context, only some of which would be considered vulgar.
