I couldn't sleep so decided to do this. [insert loser emoticon here]

I used 01/01 - 01/02 for the years 2004-2012.

Cunt was used this many times;

2004- 0
2005- 1
2006- 3
2007- 17
2008- 129
2009- 63
2010- 115
2011- 356
2012- 498

Grin

Also "fuck" grew from 18 mentions in Jan 04 to 6,277 mentions in Jan 2012.

"Cock" went from 14 mentions in Jan 04 to 498 in Jan 2012.

BUT "cock" is down this year from 585 for Jan 2011.

"Message deleted by Mumsnet" has gone from 2 in Jan 2004 up to a whopping 847 in Jan 2012!

I do have all the fuck and cock stats for every year but didn't want to kill you all with boredom. If I haven't already. Wink

Thanks for this OP, it's given me face ache Grin

Trills · 09/04/2017 12:53

A pie chart would be absolutely the wrong kind of chart for this piece of research 📊 📈

ExplodedCloud · 09/04/2017 12:58

When did the message poster start? That must have had a deflationary impact on cunt as the 'Cat me...' phrase became redundant.

TheCrowFromBelow · 09/04/2017 13:01

There are a lot of cunts in chat, which will have been deleted 90 days after first appearing.
Love this thread.

EffinElle · 09/04/2017 13:07

What a fantastic thread, op you are genius! I will add a cunt and a cock towards your data Grin

Collymollypuff · 09/04/2017 13:28

Bravo, OP, nice work.

kingscrossnoodle · 09/04/2017 13:40

Love this post. I do have an interested in cock though Grin

BellMcEnd · 10/04/2017 00:55

Please post the You're a Complete Cunt Song, again Vanilla.

Can we have a Cunt Amnesty, MNHQ? A Cuntnesty, if you will. Wink

PerspicaciaTick · 10/04/2017 01:51

2008's sharp rise in swearing is explained entirely by the arrival of my DC2. Sorry for setting a bad example.

KickAssAngel · 10/04/2017 02:00

I have a little happy moment every time this thread reappears.

OvO - are you counting cuntychops in the stats? I feel it's important that it's included.
(and yes, I would love to see a bar graph or pie chart to show the cunts as a percentage of threads. MN has got bigger over the years)

BitOfFun · 10/04/2017 04:24

Er, I've hardly had any deletions actually. And beyond seasonal namechanges and a shortlived flirtation with two others, I've always been recognisably "me".

Disappointednomore · 10/04/2017 05:11

This is great work. If you wouldn't mind putting the cunts and cocks on a year on year bar chart but then the number of threads on a line chart with a secondary axis that should demonstrate whether it's an increase in cuntiness or just a numbers game.

Trills · 10/04/2017 08:04

Much better chart suggestion.

VanillaSugar · 11/04/2017 10:26

BellMcend - are you sure you want me to sing it? It mentions cunt a lot BlushGrin

BellMcEnd · 12/04/2017 07:06

Vanilla yes yes!!!

QueenieGoldstein · 12/04/2017 07:10

VanillaSugar · 12/04/2017 23:43

Of course, the count words should read cunt - my phone auto correct went all puritanical on me.

KickAssAngel · 13/04/2017 02:24

what tune do we sing it to?

I may need to hum it under my breath in my next work meeting when my boss starts talking.

VanillaSugar · 13/04/2017 07:19

I think the tune is part of a Lily Allen song. The one about her brother Alfie ..... along those lines, anyway. Grin

"You're a" is. the same note
"Comp" is a note lower
"Lete" is the first note
"Cunt" is 5 notes lower than the first note

Then just go on from there and make up your own little Happy Hum!

KickAssAngel · 13/04/2017 14:00

I can't get it to fit to Alfie, but can sing it to Fuck You. Which is useful, cos if I get the two confused I'm still saying the same thing, basically.

ComputerUserNotTrained · 13/04/2017 14:03

Have I been cunted counted in the stats?
