Siofra was back in West Clare last weekend, you missed her 

Where are you from?

You added me on Facebook and your definitely not British or Irish

Faaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr away in ... Malaysia

The inflection & context affect the meaning a lot and that probably is a lot harder to infer over a forum.  Don't really have a problem with swearing in general, but time & place of course, wouldn't dare drop the c-bomb during sunday dinner at my nan's place.  

A few colourful metaphors are a boon in the right time & place though, like when a F***ing w**ker cuts you up just before a junction.

Had to change it. Some forum members were getting blood pressure problems

c**t Life

It's possibly a regional thing too  I remember a few years ago I saw someone do something that was totally uncalled for and I turned around and said (rather innocently) that's a cu*ts trick. Well this person who was next to me (she was from Wales) , who I got on with quite well, went ape sh*t and reported me to my manager. But to me it was just an aptly descriptive word.

I'm from Wales (also female) and I'll tell you now I'm a right C**t for using the word c**t and the amount of people that go mental is unbelievable  So to make it a bit easier for them to take I change it to C*nty for some reason they don't seem to mind that!   

I think is just a generalized, regional term.  Here in the US, as "AZ" said. If you call a dude a "c**t", unless its a really good friend, your going to be throwing knuckles. No doubt.

But I heard that guys in the UK dont rag on each others Mom.  Here in the US I can tell some dude, how great his mom was in bed, and its more of a Joke Insult only. Its just sociological differences.  But If someone with an English accent called me a "c**t"...I would know its not personal and its just a joke. We also use "Douchebag"....which is American.

When i hear the word douchbag it really makes me laugh it sounds ridiculous

And we make mother jokes here too

I must admit I'm quite bad for swearing, especially the word c**t. But I blame being Scottish, especially in Glasgow the word c**t is used to mean a person.

"Some c**t just asked me what time the bus is coming!" but that doesn't mean that you necessarily think that person is infact a c**t in a bad way.

Classic example
Rangers fan tells BBC North West Tonight he hopes "every c**t will get along wi' each other"

Thats great...."Douchebag" is one of the funniest knocks ever.  I love it.

It's also good to know that all over the world "Mothers" are open to extreme ridicule.   So, hows your Mom....and my kids?

If I'd a bag of mickeys I wouldn't lend you one you geebag

There's a fair few over here who still find the word c**t offensive. It does tend to be girls than fellas who are offended by it. Although a girl saying it is a F***ing horrible sound.

In Liverpool most people will use it in everyday speech. "I've had a c**t of a day in work" or "the taxi driver was being a c**t today" for example. It's just one of those words that we use. But Scousers, and especially meself, tend to use most swear words anyway. It's more of a natural thing with me where I swear without knowing it - not turrets either. I don't think about using the word c**t, it just comes out naturally.

I love the way there's actually some debate going in the Arkles!

For me, calling someone "ya soft c**t" is the same as calling someone "soft lad". But "ya soft c**t" has more comedy to it. So it gets used more often.

Failing all that, if you don't understand. Just say bellend.

c**t is probably one of the least 'accepted' swear words used. Like, some people wouldn't get offended by the word F**k or sh*t but say c**t and they'll be all over you. I was working with a woman a little while ago who as reading the paper back when these stories about Peter Crouch sleeping around came out, she called him a n*b and I absent mindedly said "yeah, what a c**t". Of course my lady colleague was highly offended and I think she thought worse of me from that day forth. Now to put that in context she isn't exactly an airy fairy type, we both work as contractors and a fair bit of swearing is used on the job as it is, but c**t was just not acceptable!

I myself don't really give a damn, I couldn't care less what people say, they're just words. As long as you aren't calling me a c**t then it's sound!

crying out to be called it after that statement....

Bellend is a sh*t word though Kenny. It always sound like a ten year old when I hear it.

Divvy is a much better word

I particularly like 'shithouse' as in, "come ere ya shithouse". It really doesn't mean anything, I mean what are you calling them? A house of sh*t?

Shithouse is a boss word. It's a word where it can be used as every day reference to the bog as well thogh, so sometimes it's not used as a offensive term.
