I'm English and your list is fascinating.

Twat is male here.
Cunt is mostly male but rarely an insult.
Prissy isn't something I've ever heard anyone say.
Nag is a female horse and nothing else. Or maybe a donkey if you keep them.
Witches are females and wizards are males and neither is a curse or insult.
Whore is a genderless action, as is flogging in the selling context (but it's male in all others).
Slut. Oh look, you finally got one!
Pussy is a cat (either gender) or very rarely anatomy. It isn't a swear or insult.
Ho is American rap and anyone using it here would be locked up.
Quim is another one of those words I have never encountered before now.
Hooker is an American cop show word that no one uses here.
Butterface is...really? This is a word I first encountered on this comm within the last few months and it's always been used to describe a man. Specifically, I've only ever seen it used to describe Jeremy Renner and Daniel Craig.

Total: 1

Bravo! Where can I send all the applauses?

Except for the slight problem where almost all of this is wrong and stupid.

Your list is pretty ridiculous but i'm hooked. Are you saying twat and cunt are male or they're commonly directed at males as an insult? Because that's stupid both ways but I'm dying to know which way you were swinging for.

da
They are used towards males. The origins are female, as someone has posted many times in this thread, but that's not something most people think about or necessarily even know. Their meanings, context, and usage have absolutely nothing to do with their origins.

and bzzzt you're wrong

thanks for playing asshole

Anon is right about the usage and meaning of the words in England. You're the only ignorant one here, Canadian.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
They're still speaking English in England. The connotation of 'cunt' = 'vagina' is still there even in England. Therefore, when used in a non-reclamatory or purely-anatomical-descriptor way, it's still a sexist slur.

Hope that helps, shithole.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, nonnie. Won't you ever learn? Resorting to name calling and telling people that you hope they have their face ripped off with a rusty nail is no way to go about things.

The denotation of

fixed it

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, but are you using shithole in a purely-anatomical-descriptor way, Miss Canada?

[personal profile] lovelycudy 2012-11-22 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
But what if it is not considered an insult? Honest question. Cunt=vagina, but why should cunt=insult? People here are saying that it's not an insult where they live.

If one holds the sapir whorf hypothesis as inarguably true, and far reaching.

It's very easy to make an argument that this is not the case, and that in practical meaning the reference to the vagina, and the reference as an insult are entirely divorced etymologically and conceptually in most peoples minds.

It's an insult because people have been taught it's insulting. In casual usage people do not consider, or are influenced by the connection between the two, ergo it does not contribute to sexism in culture.

I always assumed they were universal and can be directed at anyone. :P

lmao
just... lmao

Are you serious with this comment? Do you actually not realize how fucking ignorant it makes you look?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for proving you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
