    Who cares ? geez it's just a word, you ain't going to be mentally scared by it. They gave out enough warnings for it during the ads. Also you can't kick someone out for saying c**t, people are allowed to say it.

    Oh get over it. It's not that offensive and isn't any worse than other swear words. If you hate it so much, complain yourself you whopper.

    :confused: A warning of 'Very Strong Language' was given. Watch, don't watch, the choice is yours.

    It is the most offensive swear word to me. We are all offended by different things and more accepting of others. Saying get over it isn't very mature.

    It used to be a swear word that had real impact when using it as it was rarely spoken -certainly on tv.
    But nowadays every c**t is using it.

    No, actually getting over it is more mature.

    I find it offensive that a word for female genitalia is considered more offensive than the words for male genitalia.

    It's so queynte.

    ...:D....

    That really made me laugh. I'm not sure what it is about the word. It certainly makes me flinch/cringe a bit but not as much as it used to. I think the fact that it's becoming more widely used has lessened the impact a little. Whether that's a good thing or not I'm not sure.

    I'd be interested to know why historically it has become such a shocker - lots of other words are out there which describe the same thing but don't have the shock value.

    I'll be honest - years ago the word pratt was used to describe the same female parts (at least where I grew up) - all of a sudden in the eighties it became a kind of endearment with very little negative connotations. I can't use that word flippantly or lightly and I still flinch a bit when I hear it. Where I grew up it was on a par with the C word.

    Quite simply, as you say in the rest of your post, these things just shift around over time. When religion had more of a grip, the words considered worst were any that involved blasphemy, and good old Anglo Saxon words like the C word were just everyday rudies which have always been about pee poo willy bum drawers, ie: our most base, first chakra concerns.

    Gosh = God's shit

    Golly = God's legs

    Gadzooks = God's hooks (the nails through Jesus's wrists and feet)

    (Berk = Berkeley Hunt, rhyming slang, by the way)

    It is a bit Kunta Kinte, perhaps. Perhaps it's an indictment of our society's deep set misogyny, or perhaps it's just a brilliantly explosive word to say. Certainly if you call someone a kn*b or a d*ckead it's more belittling in tone. C U Next Tuesday is more powerful. You could choose to see it that way.

    Just realised I am probably classed as an 'elder' which may be why I hate it so much :D. It still shocks me to hear it used so casually.

    Have you ever stopped to consider WHY that's your opinion? Or do you just go "I'm offended, end of, the world must stop turning and language must stop evolving, for I have taken offence"?

    It is isn't it? Years ago I had a friend who I thought was really rather refined/classy - I was a little in awe. We were on our way back from a PTA meeting in the car when we were stopped and she was brethalysed. The Police were incredibly patronising and complete tossers.

    As they walked away she just said C**. I completely lost it - a hysterical and ice breaking moment. That was almost thirty years ago - she now lives in another country but we remain very good friends.

    A powerful word - weird thing to say but it changed our whole relationship.
