dcom Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) It depends on your audience, calling someone a cunt in the US will make them recoil in horror, in the UK or Australia it can be a term of endearment. Racist epithets are always a safe bet. It's always been very disturbing to me that there are countless (sex and promiscuity related) words to insult women with, but only a few you can insulta a man with.

dingformung Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 my years ago ex girlfriend once had an exchange student from the united Kingdom who told me cunt is the worst word but i dont reallyy understand why? why is it the female genetalia that is used as a bad word and not so much the male one? dick cock etc is all indecent thing 2 say but not quite as bad as cunt afaik. never really understoof why that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That exchange student must've been a bit posh, because in common UK/Australian vernacular cunt is an extremely flexible word, from an insult to calling someone a true friend. I guess douche could be a matching US insult, yet again something to do with female genitalia. Edited May 4, 2021 by dcom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcom Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) If you're after imaginative insults, look no further than the Scottish; they've got it covered, although they're not that easy to understand (unless translated or you've read a lot of Irvine Welsh).

There are contexts where it can be less offensive, but it's not the same as when a bogan uses it. It's likely that your UK friends just think you're a cunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to admit that it's more prevalent with the Ozzies. Edited May 4, 2021 by dcom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from the UK though, it's 100% an insult, nowhere near as serious as in the USA but it's not a nice word to call someone. In Australia on the other hand it's just like saying 'mate' at the end of a sentence so it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, thank you for clearing that up, now I feel like a twat - but then cunt would work as a general insult towards any non-Australian English. Add racial epithets to the mix and you can probably get a rise out of most people. Edited May 4, 2021 by dcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatoms Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 In today's Word on Wurst news: Wurst luck: half-eaten sausage helps German police solve cold case Inquiry into 2012 burglary is revived after French police turn up a DNA match for unrelated crime https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/12/wurst-luck-half-eaten-sausage-helps-german-police-solve-cold-case German police say they have solved a nine-year-old burglary case after DNA found on a half-eaten piece of sausage matched that of a man detained in France over an unrelated crime. Police in the western town of Schwelm said on Thursday the sausage belonged to the victim, and the suspect – a 30-year-old Albanian citizen – appeared to have helped himself to a bite during the break-in in Gevelsberg in March 2012. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/12/wurst-luck-half-eaten-sausage-helps-german-police-solve-cold-case 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Immer wieder erstaunlich, wie wenig Respekt dieses Zigeunerpack vor dem Privateigentum ordentlicher Bürger hat. Alles wird geklaut, was nicht niet- und nagelfest ist, auch ganze Scheunen. Und das alles unter dem Deckmantel einer angeblichen Armut. Eine Sauerei ist das!
