girls hate that word?

[MicroBob]

tuq - You wanker!!!

Also - slag is slightly worse than s*it so it must be pretty bad. But that's another one i had never heard of before either.

MicroBob,

You are a Paki IMO.

I knew a girl who didn't mind c*nt but hated "snatch" when used with the same definition.

Yeah, there will be plenty of anecdotal counter examples.
I dated a girl who hated hearing it called "box." And as tuq mentioned, quite a few women don't like the word pussy either.

The thing about the c-word is that it is used for nothing else in the language. There is nothing remotely euphemistic about it (box, snatch, beaver, vulgar as they are at least have some other primary denotation).

What the hell is Paki?

Paki (as in Pakistani...obv) always seemed v offensive growing up, but it is just an abbreviation of a nationality...so why this is considered so offensive is peculiar (e.g. compare to Brit, Yankee, etc).

[LetsHugItOut]

A friend of mine does standup comedy and has a joke along the lines of, "Interestingly, most girls hate the word 'moist,' but they like the feeling."

panties just might be my favorite word in the English language.

But that's just me.

not just you, other creepy old men love that word too.

Haha.

I like the word panties and I'm 19. I also like panties, too. Coincidence?!

In Australia wanker is an incredibly malleable word, but is frequently used as a term of endearment. More accurately I guess, as a harmless insult directed at someone you're fond of or whatever. So, I dunno, a mate taps you on the right shoulder from behind even though he's standing on the left of you (that old chestnut): "you wanker". Harmless. It can be more insulting than that, but nothing that would propel it anywhere near c--t, f--k or even sh-t.

The litteral meaning relates to masturbation, is that the same in the UK?

Most girls I know hate "pussy" too, fwiw.

Also I think women are more sensitive to curse words or epithets in general, like most I know would be really offended by words like "fgt" or "n*gger" in casual conversation while most guys don't really care.

agree with both parts. i think using swear words unnecessarily (so not when you drop something on your foot or forgot something important, but just smattered through sentences or as adjectives) is really vulgar and implies stupidity.

i also think c*nt is a really nasty word, but i hate words like vag (pronounced vaj) and pussy, too. it makes me uncomfortable just to type them!

[/ QUOTE ]

What word do you use, then, when talking dirty with your man? Or do you just skirt the issue by never directly mentioning specifics.

How the hell does wanker rate that high?/

[/ QUOTE ]
Seems that other Brits agree with me that it is a pretty offensive word. lol at 'poof' though!
Another good imported one (not very offensive), 'bollocks' which is a very useful word. Bollocks is very versatile, like sh*t:

Something bad: that's sh*t / that's bollocks.
Something good: that's the sh*t / that's the bollocks (short for the dog's bollocks).

Why the hell isn't hell on there?

[/ QUOTE ]

Usually we would only say effing hell (which is on the list)

In contrast, 'god damn' seems pretty tame to me, but a word/phrase that some Americans get riled up about. You can say 'god', you can say 'damn', but you can't combine the two????!
