Or does it need to be in caps?

Or surrounded by * * * *S

I really do wish we could keep swearing out of thread titles (wishful sigh).

thighsmadeofcheddar · 03/11/2010 14:58

I think it's so boring to see C in the thread title. Funny maybe ages ago when the first ones came out, now just plain crass.

JaceyBee · 03/11/2010 15:02

Oh FFS it's just swearing, it doesn't hurt anybody. YANBU.

GunpowderTreasonAndSNOTSleeves · 03/11/2010 15:03

it's still HERE, interestingly

GetOrfMoiLand · 03/11/2010 15:09

Well, you can't ban cunt because it's boring.

Not whilst parking spaces threads exist.

BonniePrinceBilly · 03/11/2010 15:57

I'm very posh and have oodles of class and buckets of style. And I fucking love cunts. So to speak Grin.

And at the end of the day - it's not very feminine is it.

But I suppose that's feminism for you.

BonniePrinceBilly · 03/11/2010 16:19

I think you'll find cunts are quite feminine actually.
Do you have a masculine cunt daftpunk? Is that why you're anti-feminist?

atswimtwolengths · 03/11/2010 16:24

I really, really hate it. I can't bear to see women calling other people by that name. I can't think of a situation where I'd ever use it - it's so crude and vulgar.

I have nothing against adults swearing and swear myself, but that is one of the words that I hate.

Just wondering whether people who use it on here would use it face-to-face with someone, either as an insult or a joke? I don't know anyone who says it and wouldn't go out in public with someone who used it, either.

daftpunk · 03/11/2010 16:26

It's not very feminine to have a mouth like a Liverpool docker.

my body and mind is 100% female. My dh would be appalled if he heard me using that word tbh.

BonniePrinceBilly · 03/11/2010 16:29

Are you sure there aren't any women working on Liverpool Docks?

Does your DH always tell you what you can say? is he a bit of a cunt?

Ok, would you seriously use that sort of language in a RL situation?

BonniePrinceBilly · 03/11/2010 16:43

If I met you in real life I might have occasion to use the word.

I think we should reclaim the word...CUNT! Think of it as conciousness raising, a feminist linguistic struggle. Why is cunt worse than any other swear word?

And what difference does it make if I am a man or a woman?

DanceInTheDark · 03/11/2010 16:55

Oh this is still here?

To explain fully: The snot filled one had her thread deleted because it had 'Cunt' in the title. This was just an experiment to see if MNHQ had started removing/altering threads with 'that word' in or if it was just Greeny's they removed.
