would you call someone a cunt to their face

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

That's it really. Some posters seem happy to bandy around the term quite happily on here but I suspect they are all talk with very little trousers IYSWIM. There are others who I am very certain could call a fanny a vagina.
So AIBU in thinking people are vey happy to type the word but out there in the real world face to face with another human being they wouldn't have the front/arrogance/nastiness to do it?

OK, so how bout this question? Fuck used to be a massive taboo, look how attitudes have changed... Is the same likely to happen to the 'c' word? If you think not, why not?
Incidentally, I totally endorse teh comment about cunt making a woman's genitalia somehow worse than a man's dick/cock... etc. I find that a totally unacceptable argument - if anybody was making that one?

Will 'cunt' become normalised, as 'fuck' has - it's broadcast on the BEEB, after all...

I'm very partial to a bit of swearing and am particularly fond of the word cunt.

It makes me laugh when people are so very precious about it saying 'oh I hate the 'c' word'!

Absolutely not. I've would never dream of calling someone that.

Nope, I've lasted this many years without ever needing to resort to using the word so I dont suppose that will change....

Horrible word.

Why does it make you laugh?

I don't really use the word, "cunt" in RL except in my head. I knew an Adele and she was a proper cunt but I never told her that even though she really was.

One ex BF used to use it all the time so I sort of followed. I did pull him up on it but he used it such a funny way that I found it difficult.

For example, we went to a party once and he decided that everyone we knew should go as Knights / Pirates with swords and shields nad there was a lot of, " You are a CUNT, GOOD SIR, and I shall cut you in twain!"

After jettisoning ex twat I called a prospective BF a cunt in a sort of playful way and he was fucking HORRIFIED. Not as horrified as I was when he sat in Frankie and Bennys counting out coppers and silver before we had even ordered. Bless the speedy taxi-company.

LMIATW I disagree as regards your opinion on use of the "f" word. It is unpleasant and childish. On what basis do you say "attitudes have changed"?

smartypants I suspect that there are words that even you would find offensive so please try to understand that there are some people who find the "c" word equally unpleasant.

Swearing is weak, immature, unnecessary and usually a sign of insecurity.

I post as I speak.

I have used cunt on MN and have used it in RL. Only a few times on both and mainly when I'm hormonal pissed off.

I use fuck quite a lot. I actually grew up with that being the worst word but only use it in context iyswim - not for the sake of swearing.

No, I never have and I can't imagine I ever will. When I hear it out loud in RL it always really grates on me.

Whereas having a bj for a name is fine?

I don't think I've ever called a MNer a cunt.I have been called one

It's a horrible word and I've NEVER said it out loud......thought it a few times though. but then I don't generally swear.

say it out loud...

x3

I would call someone a cunt without batting an eyelid and have done on several occasions, if someone incurs my wraith they damn well get it regardless.

I used it once, but I was very much provoked! I swear too much in rl but it's to friends, not at people. In rows I tend to go the other way and hardly swear at all...not that I argue with anyone if I can help it.

However, I could have a few choice words for the dog right now who has just come in and covered me in mud.

Reminiscence. My first girlfriend was the daughter of a GP and a former theatre nurse and they used to dine out on the story of an elderly nun who underwent surgery. It's apparently common for people to talk under anaesthetic but this lady began by saying FUCK and then added YOU ARE ALL BLOODY CUNTS and so on, and so on, and so on.

All the things she had wanted to say during decades in the convent, and out they all came. And the professionals had to keep a straight face and pretend they had not noticed and get on with the job in hand . . but imagine the hilarity when the day's list was done!

i swear but dont like cunt for some reason.so i dont use it on mn or rl.

No, because I type as I think, not as I speak - if that makes sense.

I may think someone is a cunt, but I don't generally swear out loud.

LOL, TechLovingDad, that's what I thought.

I think it is really shocking and would never use it, online or in person.
BUT the scene in Bridesmaids when the saleswoman in the jewelry shop calls the schoolgirl a cunt, is brilliant and hilarious!

I don't think I have used it on MN, I have however used it a few times in RL.

In RL I have a bit of an anger issue though, I don't on here.

I quite like swearing, but not that one, nasty word. I suppose like everything else it has a time and a place, but not in normal everyday conversation IMO.

I would if there was a good enough reason.
Been called it plenty of times on here, nearly always when having the audacity to question the arguments of the PC lobby.
