Noticed not many people use curse words.

So.. why the fuck not?

I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I'm aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.

there's a subset of women here that go absolutely berserk if you call them a cunt in certain contexts. besides them though, its just another curse word here. use it as you please. pretty fun to say sometimes. and if you say it with an aussie accent, you have a free pass to say it whenever you want

Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.

You can bet your fanny that we have a stronger connotation for that word here.

American here. I try to remember that other folks outside the US don't have the same negative association we do with that word. It certainly helps ease the stigma I have for it when it's said in good fun in a conversation. I still can't bring myself to say it or write it often though.

You're a cancer on society. JK I love the word cunt, but yeah some Americans are just as sensitive about a word as they are a titty
