A few weeks ago in the homeless shelter where I work in London, one of our residents (and i stress, this guy was in no way typical of the people who pass through our doors) was chatting about some of the obnoxious ‘suits’ he encounters selling the Big Issue. Basically his beef was that this one particular businessman always gave hime nasty looks when he passed by, and generally was fond of strutting about with an air of superiority. In his own words:
‘I tell you, if someone acts like a cunt, I dont fuck about. I tell them straight to their face - ‘You are a cunt’. This fucker had been acting the cunt… and if some fucker acts a cunt then Im gonna cunt them… ‘You fucking cunt’, I said’
Keeping a straight face wasnt easy… anyone else encountered swearing as creative as that before? I swear I have never heard the word ‘cunt’ as a verb before… the english language is truly a beautiful thing.
Mind you, ‘Big Issue’ vendors do tend to have a language and culture unto themselves, so congratulating the English language for their creativite use of inflective may be inappropriate!!!
Desmo - I disagree, I think he was using it as a verb… ‘I cunt them’ is a far cry from "don’t ‘sir’ me’. In his usage, the verb ‘cunt’ simply means to call someone a cunt. Damn, this is a heavyweight debate isn’t it!
And yeah, i have heard some ‘derek and clive’ before. Funny shit!
As to the insults, well mr SPOOFE: I would never stoop to that level, you geriatric gimp festival.
