Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

Fuck knows, fuck you, and merry fucking Christmas.

In seriousness though: no idea. It’s nice though, not every sentence needs an f-bomb or a c-nuke. They’re just helpful and/or satisfying sometimes.

You may often be understood quite well even without using harsh language in every fucking sentence.

Infact, refraining from using harsh language increases the impact of it when you actually need to for some god damned reason.

So please, consider using some bloody restraint, and only curse when you actually shit ass need to.

I hope that this comment has cleared it up for you, have a lovely new year!

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.

I’m an American and I throw cunt out often enough. I’m from Jersey though and we curse a bunch, and I also was in the Marines, where we cursed a lot. It’s where I picked up the phrase cunt hair, as in the unit of measurement.

Ah, Finnish army also has (or at least had) that unit of measurement, “pillukarva”, literally pussy hair.

Is karva related to the Polish kurwa? I’m American and you guys are close to each other in my uneducated estimation, and so I feel like there’s gotta be something there right? And oldest profession is an old word.

Merry Christmas, and thanks for the new word.

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.

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

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

I don’t swear often because that makes it so much more satisfying when I do. It’s like rationing out my favourite snacks.

Also it makes you sound much more intelligent when you can express yourself with other words. It forces you to utilize your vocabulary.
