Wh...@ Anonymous 25 September 2010 04:31 - I agree. When I went to California for 2 months, so many people called me ma'am. I was 20! Some of them were younger than me! I only found it offensive because it made me sound like I was ancient.<br /><br />In Australia, we've gradually loosened up on swearing. Pretty much, if it's after 8 P.M on TV, you can pretty much guarantee swearing won't be censored. <br /><br />Back when I was in highschool, Toyota came out with the "bugger" ad, which automatically meant that every single kid at school was saying it because "it's on tv, so it's not a bad word!" <br /><br />I admit, I have used the "c word" to other women, but only when they've been -incredibly- rude and hateful towards me. Once I called a lady who'd been harassing me for months a "miserable c-" and she burst into tears. Granted, she was American, but still.<br /><br />I don't really like using the word because it seems like that word is just harsh, moreso than others. It has the hard K sound at the start, and it's a very short, abrupt word. The sound of the word is harsh in itself, and I think that's what makes the word sound so much worse than others.<br /><br />My youngest aunt, who has 2 children below 4th grade, says "Sugar honey ice tea" when she wants to swear about something in front of them (take the first letter of each word =P) And she often says "Firetruck" too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-31460244326701216762010-09-27T16:14:27.248+01:002010-09-27T16:14:27.248+01:00@anon 4:31 and 16:05...

I personally hate the term because to me it sounds like referring to an old lady. It's actually supposed to be a term of respect but still I don't want to be called that.Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460604587468531517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-1019304897915382662010-09-27T09:06:45.217+01:002010-09-27T09:06:45.217+01:00Swearing is so interesting... they're just syl...Swearing is so interesting... they're just syllables but they carry so much weight!<br /><br />I'm from New Zealand, so I have an entirely different view. We would use cunt towards a male, not a female, but it is considered pretty bad. We have conflicting views from immigrant americans who think it's the worst word ever and the poms who chuck it around casually. And of course being a former colony we swear liberally.<br /><br />TV in the states seems to be so censored!
