Why do you think cunt is considered a bad word?
My gf, who doesnt swear, reckons it no worse than fuck, that they are all equally terrible. But saying cunt in mixed company gets a stoney silence and looks of horrible recimination.

Why is cunt the worst of the colourful metaphors?

Calling a bloke a cunt seems fine but,
if you call a girl a cunt, and mean it, it's not

You cunt

Edit: Old bloke at work doesn't like the word, so out of respect for him we don't say it
I work in a VERY sweary industry.
People I know that hardly swore before, have mouths like sewers now, especially the girls

It's a word
I fail to see how any word can be offensive.

(Exception of discriminatory terms here.)
(, Sun 12 Oct 2008, 11:56, archived)
you can't make exceptions
either words have meaning and connotation, or they don't. You can't disclude nigger, wop and spic just because you find them offensive.

All words carry the emotion of the speaker as well as the information the word represents. That's why cunt is offensive. But you can make "mother" offensive if you said it right.

what with Shrek being an internationally reknowned figure adored by millions, rolling in money and instantly recognisable worldwide, beloved by kids and parents both, starring in tales of love, romance, heroics, friendship and happy endings.

Which is a hell of a lot better than being a fat single accountant with a rampantly ticking baby-clock who has online sex with redneck Americans.

exclude suggests its been removed from a group it previously belongs to (excluded from school, seeing as the ex- component means "going out from") Disclude suggests it was never included in the first place.

*Rises to the bait*
It's the difference between a word being discriminatory and derogatory. Discrimination is a lot more difficult to rise above than anything else, since it has history as well as genuine bile.

you said originally that words can't be offensive
so no hierachy, just yes or no. So now you've said yes, the hierachy is completely dependant on the listener, not the speaker. If I said you were a motherfucker, that would be amusing at my house, but if you called me a Brit I'd knock your fucking teeth out.

No, English is not British
otherwise there wouldn't be a need for the second word.

British is an amalgamation of four nationalities which insults both Scotland's and Wales' right to independant Parliaments, shuns and ignores the last 88 years of Ireland's suffering for independance, and naively burdens England with three scrounging whimpering spongers who wouldn't last five minutes on their own in the real world.
