Re: James Bond and Entitlement

[(Anonymous)]

But you didn't have to go for something specifically targeted towards women. Jfc.

Wasn't the intent.

Because, shockingly, it isn't where I'm from.

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting! Where are you from?

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

[ill_omened]

UK.

(though the same is true for a number of ex-colonies, see also Australia)

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

You're right, that is shocking!

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

That explains everything. Everything.

Here' in Britain 'cunt' is usually a gender-neutral insult. I'd say neutral leaning towards masculine.

A lot of people here are still very offended by it but it is used differently then in the US.

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

Yeah, wiki does say something to that effect. I can buy that, but I also think you'd have to live under a rock to never have come across the other meaning, and not think that saying it wouldn't cause trouble. And I was genuinely curious as to where i_o is from since I've never seen them mention it although I knew they weren't from the US.

Tbph I find differences like this kind of fascinating and I'm kind of curious as to how the difference usages evolved.

And that's all I'm going to say because in my experience the British usage vs American usage debate doesn't end well. xD

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

Nah, it's fine. I think it's really fascinating as well.

Cunt (play /ˈkʌnt/) is a word that primarily describes the female genitalia, particularly the vulva, and is widely considered to be vulgar.[

Pull the other one, ass, it has bells on it.

Re: James Bond and Entitlement

[ill_omened]

"Cunt is also used as a derogatory epithet referring to people of either sex. This usage is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.[3] Reflecting different national usages, cunt is described as "an unpleasant or stupid person" in the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, whereas Merriam-Webster has a usage of the term as "usually disparaging and obscene: woman",[4] noting that it is used in the U.S. as "an offensive way to refer to a woman";[5] the Macquarie Dictionary of Australian English states that it is "a despicable man", however when used with a positive qualifier (good, funny, clever, etc.) in Britain, New Zealand and Australia, it can convey a positive sense of the object or person referred to.[6]

...

This is particularly true in America, where the word is solely used referring to women or sometimes even a rather feminine man, while in the UK and Ireland, the word is an insult which can be used for anyone, much akin to calling someone a bastard or wanker."
