I think it is worth noting, that from a native and linguistic point of view, when she call’s her daughter a “cunt”, its American nuance is different, and very street, and very offensive… Unless, they have some Irish Skinhead affiliation… or?

I don’t know, they sound to me pretty much like ordinary (if maybe a bit confused and nervous) 15-year-olds who aren’t reading prepared answers.

Heck, most adults don’t sound all that bright when you put a microphone in their face.

I guess you’re right. And I think a lot of the strangeness has to do with being home-schooled, and just spending too much damn time with their mom.

If you really want to know, Google “Addicted to Hate”. And poor yourself a stiff drink. It ain’t pretty.

Try shortening it to an acronym (and “you” is easily shortened, of course, to “u”). It took me a minute to get it as well :).

And here I thought the asterisk in “c\*nt” was dumb.
