You shut the fuck up. That’s our word. That’s our word.
See, I think of racial slurs as a completely different category from swear words.
Same order? No no no, it’s way worse!
Fuck is my go-to word. If I have to be more - delicate - I’ll resort to fark or frak. I kinda like fark and farkkity farkness.
Cunt is extreme, and used very rarely. Like maybe once or twice a year, if that, meant in earnest.
Stupid Whore Cum Dumpster is a fave with friends and drunkenness.
Toward guys, Jackass is a fave.
Goddammit is my favorite swear word, and I’ve lived in the South, where it’s considered a super-bad word. It’s fun to say it and watch a fundamentalist panic- I think that they really think that lightning will strike if the word is said. Plus, it’s just fun to say, and so satisfying at times. Go ahead, say it with the emphasis on different parts of it:
GOD-dammit!!
god-DAMM-it!!
god-DAMMIT!!
It works for every occasion!
For me, “cunt” is a terribly offensive word, but I understand it. It makes sense why it’s so bad. I know exactly what will happen when I use it.
But “nigger”? THERE’S a clusterfuck if I’ve ever heard one. You have NO IDEA what will happen when you throw that out there. Will it be ironic? Racist? Distasteful? See, you don’t know! So you just kinda pocket that one for later, when you’ve got a better handle on it.
And THAT, my friends, is why “nigger” beats “cunt”. It’s the mystery. It’s the “Oh, the red button I’m not supposed to push! I wonder what it does…”
FUCK NO, I don’t swear.
Exactly. You better have your helmet on before you drop the N-bomb! LOL
Nope, can’t say I swear very much at all.
What do you say then, say if someone cuts you off in traffic or you stub your toe?
“Oh snap!” “Shucky-darns” What?
There are a lot of people on here, mostly men I think, who expect all women to collapse in a fit of the vapors if called a “cunt” or if the word is used anywhere near them. I don’t think the reaction is anywhere as universal as you might think. For some of us, it’s just a word, even one we ourselves use.
Yup. The first time I ever heard someone use cunt it was from the mouth of my dear old mother who had just been cut off on the highway. I’ve used it for a variety of occasions ever since. Most of the females I know react as if it were any other swear word. Women who get offended by it only conjure laughs from me.
Rwandan?
How dare you!!! 
I say retarded when I’m referring to a mentally retarded person, which occurs sometimes because I am a teacher. I do not use replacement words.
In the same way, I use nigger when I’m talking about the word. I don’t like the idea that black people are so weak that they can not even hear the word when it is being discussed.
I never say cunt.
I feel no sense of excitement at any of them.
So black people are strong enough to hear nigger but women aren’t strong enough to hear cunt?
I really don’t like profanity and I am far from being a prude. I was in a relationship with a man who peppered almost every sentence with the word “fuck” and it became incredibly ugly and sad.
Example; we were sailing a monohull in Belize when a group of dolphins started swimming alongside us, eventually leading the way - jumping out of the water and glancing up at us as they were cresting the waves. It was a beautiful, heart-warming, touching moment. But what I heard out of my boyfriend’s mouths was, “Its so fucking cool! Isn’t that just fuck’n fabulous? The fuck’n dolphins are fuck’n swimming with us!”
But this came from a man who, in an alcoholic rant would also call me a “fuck’n cunt and bitch.” Having the word describe what was both a beautiful thing to him and an insult made it begin to lose its impact.
I was also heavily active on a food board where one particular poster began to stalk and berate me. When he started calling me cunt, I left the board. This from someone I have never met but who went out of his way to be rude and mean. Pointless, really.
My favorite cuss-word? “Bugger.” But I’m an Anglophile…
The Chinese have some really really offensive slang. I think the Cantonese lead the pack but the Shanghaiese and Taiwanese are no slackers and I’m sure the other dialects can probably hold their own.
I’m a preachers kid, so growing up I swore more than anyone even when it wasn’t a contest. Now that I’m grown up and stuff, I find I can really make heads turn during an outrageously heated or tense moment by uttering a loud drawn out “dang.”
“smurf-a-tootie !!”
They sort of cancel out. When I hear Lisa Lampanelli say “there have been a lot of niggers in this cunt” it doesn’t even register.
I admit that sometimes I get a sort of cruel amusement at the expense of the White supremacists by looking at a page from one of their web fora where they toss around terms like niggafuxation, chimpout, africoons, etc., then roll around manically in each other’s mental filth.
At such times I think, “Yes, there is an inferior race, and these asswipes have no idea that they’re it.”
