      Yup

      Funny how the yanks find out use of “cunt” offensive, but children being murdered in schools is just the price of freedom…

      It’s crazy what different societies see as obscene

        It’s a different word in the US, with a totally different meaning. I’ve never heard it said by a yank without it being directed at a woman in a voice filled with hate, intended to demean, frighten, or hurt her. We all get that it means something else across the pond, we’re not offended by your use of it, although I personally would prefer you don’t direct it at women who you suspect might be from the US. Many of us have really bad memories of terrifying situations where we were called that word.

        I also find children being murdered pretty fucking offensive, for the record.
