A discussion on the T and C word (moved from Bonanza BTG)

[goatwack]

To put in in context.

I would have no qualms about calling my son a Twat, but would never ever call him the C word

Cankerblossom is pretty heavy, granted

But again all depends also where you are from.

It is quite common to hear people using it everyday here. For example you would often hear people saying " I am a bloody idiot i made a total c*nt out of that" Again not used in an offensive way against anyone.

Careful, that could traumatize him for life. There could be untold psychological consequences further down the line. My ma used to call me the c-word.

"A right little Charlie" . Of course, no offence intended to any Charles, Charlotte or cocaine snorters.

It's not so bad in Scotland as you can't understand it. I found it generally followed the words 'you' and 'English'.

Had to Google that

True.

But in Glasgow it often gets used as a term for mess.

Like messed it up. Made a balls up of it. Made a C*nt of it.

 

[goatwack]

Dick is a perfectly popular name. I could make a comment about how I'd wanted to get someone who's called that's attention, e.g "I gently tugged at Dick"

Wish I hadn't

As long as you do not poke his wife to get her attention If he does not respond.

At a quick glance I thought you were replying to @goatwacks post above.

Or after appearing in a panto "My Dick was particularly well received by the Mayoress"

Which Tag team was he ???

 

[TheAddict]

Yes, somebody who understands English and the context of my post.

It's a way of calling somebody an idiot or fool, like when Bryan used it occasionally to ban spammers and changed their member moniker-box to 'spamming twat'.

Similar to 'twit' or 'plank' etc.

i can vouch for this. i call friends the T or D word on a fairly regular basis if they make a joke or do something dumb, even random strangers occasionally i might call a silly Tw@ with a wee laugh when they do something stupid that makes me laugh.
my beautiful face has never been harmed so far as a result of this. granted, if they are as tall as dunover and i dont know them very well i i might stand an extra metre away first incase they've also just come away from the standard session on html5 rhino.


The C word can be heard in a similar manner too, "you silly c..." used when someone does something silly, which is usually included with a smile, but not always.

it is something you will hear before long, if you go into enough pubs in the uk. not too uncommon to be heard at some secondary schools by kids who've been pranked by another kid or .
even also more so - genrally that line is to be heard from someone who tends to swear a lot in general, and by saying that, I'm not implying that dunover goes around calling everyone a silly c*** or a cheeky c**t either .
the 4 letter word itself is very frowned upon/responded to with some degree of disgust, generally, mind. don't expect to be invited back to dinner at your girlfriends families house if you laugh and jokingly tell her mother she is a silly C**t for droppin some plates and tripping ass over tit while trying to pick them up..

As mentioned, key is intent. Of course some words shouldn't be dropped willy-nilly, especially in an international forum and where people don't well know everyone looking in.

That being said.
My Aussie friends drop the C word like it's a friendly salutation. Being called a dick here has WAY less impact than saying goof. In the above two, inflection/stress is more important than the word itself.
Saying somone is a twat-waffle here is like saying silly bugger or as hurtful as being called a dingleberry or dough-head.

Anyway, when in doubt, just go with another synonym...the English language has an insane amount of words so it isn't like there aren't options. Being mindful of others costs not much more than a thought's reflection.

Stay on topic plz dionysus m8.

I am certainly no prude and when I am with the lads I am as bad as anybody else when it comes to language. That’s the difference though, where I come from the t or c word are generally only accepted within an all male private conversation (between mates). If you have got any reasonable decorum or etiquette you don’t drop them into everyday conversations and would you really call any of your girl/lady friends a silly t or c and expect them not be offended? Maybe I am behind the times.
