Did The Hoff call the dog lady a rude name?

I had to rewind it a few times and each time it sounded like The Hoff said ''Ya c*nt'' to the dog lady

I wish I had a video

I swear he said the c**t word. I was shocked but then again he did look as if he had been at the juice before the show.

And

He was the only one who was not scared of the FLY

He might have said can't. He's American, it is an uncommon word in America.

Wasn't he starting to say something about 'this country' but sort of trailed off?

You said the C word was uncommon in America, I show you a clip from an American TV show where it's used (and for your information Curb was one of the most popular TV shows of all time) and it's expected to be understood by the audience otherwise it woudn't have been used.

You were wrong, get over it.

I know CYE. I also never said it wasn't used. I said it was uncommon, especially in relation to the UK. Aside from that, CYE is not a portrayal of American society.

You didn't read my comment properly, get over it.

I have never claimed CYE is an accurate protrayal of American life and that is irrelevant to the point I'm making. An 'uncommon' word would not be used to form a joke as most of the audience wouldn't know what it meant, they would have used 'pussy' instead.

Americans know what the C word is and what it means and they use it. Here's a real life example...

Sheesh, it is like talking to a monkey. I never said they didn't know the word. I said the word is uncommon, as in not used often, used sparingly, here let me help you:


un·com·mon
   [uhn-kom-uhn]

–adjective, -er, -est.
1.
not common; unusual; rare: an uncommon word.

2.
unusual in amount or degree; above the ordinary: an uncommon amount of mail.

3.
exceptional; remarkable.

Origin:
1540–50; un-1 + common

—Related forms
un·com·mon·ness, noun


—Synonyms
1. scarce, infrequent; odd, singular, strange, peculiar, queer. 2. extraordinary. 3. outstanding.

In return, you show me two Youtube videos to do what? Prove they use it? I never said they never used it, so I don't even know why you're throwing your dummy around. What is your argument?

Well by that definition it's uncommon in England too, I mean it's not like we Brits use it everyday is it?

The fact remains, an American can say and use the C word which you were implying they wouldn't, you were implying it would be rare for an American to use the word as a slur when it's not.

Having said though, I still don't think he did say c*nt.

Sounded like 'You couldn't!' as in 'stay in your chair' or something.

The 'C word' is not uncommon in America. I listen to an American radio show every day and they use it as much as we do.

On the subject of whether it's a common word in America, Eminem has used it in songs, so I assume it is used over there.

And I thought he said it too!
