Americans and the "C" Word ?

Is the "C" word a new thing over there?? I noticed a few of you seem to enjoy putting emphasis on it recently .Most notably in that film The Departed in the scene where Mark Whalberg seems to take particular glee in giving his new favourite word a run out

cooter?

seriously, the word cunt has always been used here. It just for some reason we(mainly ladies) find it much more offensive than overseas.

Thankyou for the feedback , Jonathan.You cunt

It is just seen edgier than pussy or bitch

CUNT!!

Tom Cruise used it in Magnolia. I only saw a clip of the film. I couldn't stand him.

????, yanks have always had problems with "comunists"

i dunno. people get so offended it's funny

Some people hear it more than others...

i say it all the time.. it's funny i can drop the f bomb left and right and no one cares but when i call someone a cunt it's like I killed jesus or mohammed or something.

personally i dont like the word,twat is a good word so why do you need two :)

twat just sounds too english for me to use

and sven would never use either word of course,well until blackburn beat city next sunday of course

Best word to use if you feel like being thrown out of yer home with many hard/sharp objects following closely behind...

Americans have a different variation for that 'C' word. Instead of 'cat', they call it "PUSSY!"

Indeed*!*

it's the english that used 'PUSSY' instead of cat. you've got it reverse.

it is not the same as calling somebody as d!ckhead though.

Oh i dunno , just never noticed Americans using the word til recently , that's all

I dont really see the point in people finding certain words as offensive. "swear" words are used no differently than any other words nowdays. I for one am never offended by peoples language.

It seems to be about the worst thing you can say to a woman over here. They take great offence to it, though I don't know why. So, like someone else said, it is just edgier.

that's a great film, you're missing out if you've not seen it. it's a portmanteau of sorts it's not like he's in it all the time
