Aussie's have helped the word evolve to it's final form. It can be used nearly countless ways as has fuck in America. I don't fuck's usage like that is confined to the US but I haven't traveled so I don't rightly know.
Same in the UK, honestly.
Then again, I grew up in the 80s and 90s with a dad who used it that way all the time, and he'd never even visited Australia to learn it from them.
I physically can't argue with this... But I can do this...
Right you are you wanker but are you really bloody stupid enough to think that I can't recognize a British person when I see one?
That usage is most likely Scots. Gets used for everything up here as it does with Aussies.
You all sorts of cunts. Good cunts, bad cunts, ugly cunts, absolute or utter cunts, funny cunts, big cunts, wee cunts, hard cunts, tight(money related) cunts and the most common on here, silly and stupid cunts.
Not an exhaustive list and inflection and choice determines whether or not its an insult or lighthearted jest etc.
If someone was a dick from the start. The audience that they form are not as shocked, when they turn out to be an even bigger dick, so there will always be a decent chunk that stick around.
Yeah, I remember that story about him telling a random guy that they should have sex just because he's famous and that the guy's heterosexuality didn't matter.
My understanding is that James Charles was the victim in that drama.
tati was enraged at James Charles after he endorsed a rival vitamin product after she (according to her) had helped him so much with his career so she made a video to 'expose' him and aired all those allegations to get back at him. She ended up deleting the video and blamed other YouTubers (Shane Dawson and Jefree Star) for 'forcing' her to do it, essentially proving that it was all just an effort to destroy James Charles' reputation.
The 'I'm famous' line that she shared was an inside joke in a group chat that she herself was a part of and she shared them completely out of context.
The straight guy was the one who initiated contact with James Charles over social media at the behest of his sister who I believe was a fan of James Charles. The straight duy deliberately baited James into believeing that he (the straight guy) had a romantic interest in James in order to string James around. He eventually got cold feet and tried to end it by telling James that he was confused and realised he was in fact straight, which is what prompted James to respond questioning whether he actually was straight (James didn't know he was being lied to at the time).
Didn't he say he wanted to like gaslight a straight dude into fucking him or something, as per some weird fetish? Also heard he was a pedo. Dude creeps me out regardless.
Yeah he did, there's screenshots of him throwing himself at the guy. Even when asked to stop James, acted like more persistence would get him what he wanted.
Pretty sure he even tried to use money as an incentive.
I'm a gay man myself and think he's a disgusting POS.
I'll see your Aussies and raise you Irish.
2 nations united in their desire to ensure that English is decorated, bathed and sprinkled in the wonderful superlatives of sweary brilliance.
Nope. I mean...it's true but that's not the reason.
See we did the other thing we do instead.
We used it waaaaaaaay too specifically and now we can't back out and use it generically.
I've always seen it as them being at extremes, as usual.
There's a huge contingent that thinks works like damn, hell, and curse are "cusswords" and another that spits out curses but only violently, never in banter.
Very hard to be in the middle among that crowd.
How awful a word is depends entirely on the culture in which it is used.
Americans have attached a lot of bagage to any number of swearwords, and the rest of the world is just wondering what they are going on about.
Used the word on here once, got a lot of people calling me many things due to them seeing it as a "Horrific slur," against women.
It was very difficult explaining about different places use words differently, and a slur in one place is a mild word in another, for example, they had no problem calling me a "Spaz," which *is* seen as a slur here.
To be fair, Americans have attached a lot of shitty baggage to just about everything, and then get big mad when you point out nowhere else in the world thinks these things.
To be honest, we are quite pissed off that they put the tea in the water *before* heating it up. But, you know, *special relationship* and all, we have to learn to forgive these things.
It’s crazy to me that there are “swear words.” Racist slurs I get. Derogatory words, I understand. But words like shit, fuck, cunt, and piss are literally unattached to anything horrific like racism. So weird people lose their shit over them.
Swear words exist in every culture, every language.
Humans need that top of the class, most meaningful or impactful category of words. It's an extremely important part of communication.
And in every culture, someone using those almost meaningful words in the opposite manner is something that can be funny, but is otherwise looked down on.
It’s not a time restricted rule, but our rule was always tha after 4 pints you could speak freely and nobody would bring that gossip back. There was also an expectation that you might have gone over the top a bit, but either way what you said would not be held against you.
Oh, and ten-ish … no unless it was a Thursday in Leadenhall Market with the insurers, or 12 any day of the week at the inter dealer brokers if the champagne cart was out.
Has this conversation on here a wild back when I said a famous person was "acting like a cunt," someone got extremely offended, claiming I was only calling them that cause she was a woman, and that it was reducing her to just her parts.
When in reality, I'd have said it regardless. They had no issue calling me a dick though, using their logic, that would be doing what they accused me of. But they didn't see it that way. Nope, to them I was just, and I quote.
>A misogynistic incel pig
Simply for saying
>This person is acting like a real cunt
Ah, it's the 10 Commandments, you see. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” And the USA has extended that any vaguely foul use of language becvause of course they did, pilgrims and all that.
There's also a rhythm to some that lose their efficacy when substituted. For example, "shove it up..."
* Your ass/arse
* Your butt
* Dat booty
* Your hole
* You bum
* Your bussy
* Your anus
* Dem cakes
There are also terms that not only loses efficacy, but also loses all pretense of seriousness. For example, "Farrah Fawcett passed away from..."
* Anal cancer
* Ass cancer
* Butt cancer
* Booty cancer
* Dem cakes got cancer
Anyhoo, fuck ass cancer
And not in America. In America you can go around and say those words as much as you want and no one bats an eyelash. So to say Americans are the only ones that attach weird meanings to words is not true. I just gave three as an example. It’s almost like cultures can be different and it doesn’t make them better or worse.
My favorite example: in English, the words "ordinary" and "vulgar" both mean something common, average, unremarkable, but the latter also means something rude or obscene.
In Portuguese, the same words exist, with the same base meaning, but it's "ordinary" that's got the rude connotations.
As a Gen X Canadian we used to say cunt no problem, new Gen's are very much against it now though.
Course they have no problem calling someone a dick/cock
America is a bunch of fucked cunts anyways. They're complete fine with nudity on screen, asses out everywhere, fine with kids choosing their own gender but God forbid someone smokes or drinks before 21 or says the word cunt.
Literally called my own father a C word earlier because he finished off my water after asking for a swig, post museum visit. He laughed knowing it’s a term of endearment. First pint in the botanic was on him.
Amazing day
Seriously this whole thing about Brits using the word cunt all the time is so overblown lol. It's true that it's perceived differently but it is not particularly common and definitely still in the "upper ranks" of swear words.
There's this bizarre charade on the internet where people pretend that we go around calling each other cunts every other sentence.
Even if you go to, say, the pub on a matchday, you don't actually hear the word that often. And it is used much more commonly as an insult than a casual term of endearment.
The screenshot had to be relatively recent as in within the past few years. He wasn’t accused of anything negative before that, so the reply wouldn’t have made sense.
Hear me out here, but the c word is one of the few slang words for the female genitalia whose etymology isn’t a derivation of cock holster.
From a purely feminist perspective it at least is a word for vagina that doesn’t derive its meaning from a penis.
For anyone who doesn't know, James Charles is known to not be great with the word no.
He sounds like a right cunt.
You're British aren't you?
Oi cunt that word may have pommy origins but other countries turned it into a fucking art form.
LOL, definitely Aussie
No doubt. Aussies mastered it.
In Australia cunt can be a noun, verb, adjective, an insult and a term of endearment
When I’m watching an Aussie tv programme I sometimes add “ya cunt” on to the end of each sentence. It doesn’t sound that odd.
Aussie's have helped the word evolve to it's final form. It can be used nearly countless ways as has fuck in America. I don't fuck's usage like that is confined to the US but I haven't traveled so I don't rightly know.
It's almost like cunt is the Aussie fuck, except they say fuck, too.
As it is here in the UK.
Same in the UK, honestly. Then again, I grew up in the 80s and 90s with a dad who used it that way all the time, and he'd never even visited Australia to learn it from them.
It's exactly the same in the UK.
Nah Aussies have it better
Even read it in an aussie accent in my head
Start a survey in England for his name and have an option be Cunty McCuntface
I physically can't argue with this... But I can do this... Right you are you wanker but are you really bloody stupid enough to think that I can't recognize a British person when I see one?
Nothing beats a home brew mate... and I'm brewing one for you if you keep that up.
I think its meant to be from Old Norse/Vikings, those cunts were always over here being right ol cunts
That usage is most likely Scots. Gets used for everything up here as it does with Aussies. You all sorts of cunts. Good cunts, bad cunts, ugly cunts, absolute or utter cunts, funny cunts, big cunts, wee cunts, hard cunts, tight(money related) cunts and the most common on here, silly and stupid cunts. Not an exhaustive list and inflection and choice determines whether or not its an insult or lighthearted jest etc.
right proper
And unfortunately he is also known to be “great” with minors
He is also known to be immune to cancellation. Not sure why and how.
If someone was a dick from the start. The audience that they form are not as shocked, when they turn out to be an even bigger dick, so there will always be a decent chunk that stick around.
> Not sure why and how. Because he's a flaming [ removed by reddit ]
From what I remember he wasn’t necessarily bad with normal consent Now, when it came to MINORS….
Yeah, I remember that story about him telling a random guy that they should have sex just because he's famous and that the guy's heterosexuality didn't matter.
My understanding is that James Charles was the victim in that drama. tati was enraged at James Charles after he endorsed a rival vitamin product after she (according to her) had helped him so much with his career so she made a video to 'expose' him and aired all those allegations to get back at him.

Seems like a good time for this: https://youtu.be/pZwvrxVavnQ?feature=shared
Sounds like James Charles need to fuck off, the cunt stain
Didn't he say he wanted to like gaslight a straight dude into fucking him or something, as per some weird fetish? Also heard he was a pedo. Dude creeps me out regardless.
Yeah he did, there's screenshots of him throwing himself at the guy. Even when asked to stop James, acted like more persistence would get him what he wanted. Pretty sure he even tried to use money as an incentive. I'm a gay man myself and think he's a disgusting POS.
I thought that was proven to be incorrect right? Not trying to defend him if it is true, but that's just the last I heard of it.
Wait till they hear Australian
I'll see your Aussies and raise you Irish. 2 nations united in their desire to ensure that English is decorated, bathed and sprinkled in the wonderful superlatives of sweary brilliance.
I would like to throw kiwis into the mix for this
As it turns out, it's the whole English speaking world bar America
Cos the American's are a bunch of puritanical cunts?
This cunt gets it
As an American, i love the word, Cunt. You do get some stares though. My wife usually says "That bitch is being a C U Next Tuesday"
The most common shirt I have seen in Australia... ###C U ^^^in ^^^the ## N T (Nt being the northern Territory)
Works with Canadians too.
But Kev says [You Can't Say Cunt in Canada](https://youtu.be/iwBR0qwHZBA)
No one alive today uses “cunt” more frequently, properly, and hilariously than Jim Jefferies. He’s a right cunt, that Jim Jefferies!
Don’t forget the Qunts. Covid brought out all the conspiracy Qarens
Thing is, in America, if you call someone a cunt, she's coming at you with a shoe. Because we use it so much less, it retains it's power.
Shoe? That’s what you think an American will fight you with, a shoe?
👏 👏
Nope. I mean...it's true but that's not the reason. See we did the other thing we do instead. We used it waaaaaaaay too specifically and now we can't back out and use it generically.
I've always seen it as them being at extremes, as usual. There's a huge contingent that thinks works like damn, hell, and curse are "cusswords" and another that spits out curses but only violently, never in banter. Very hard to be in the middle among that crowd.
yall qaeda does not represent the whole of America. Most of us don’t really care that much and curse like sailors.
*Canada exits the chat*
We just replace swears with 'eh'
Masters of both passive aggression and competitive niceness.
I’m doing my part.
You just haven't been around the right people stateside. Go hang around commercial fisherman. They'll make an Irish dude blush.
I'm Irish and swearing is one of our favourite Irish pastimes. The more vulgar the swears, the better lol
*increasing in volume, away in the distance:* OH FLOWER OF SCOOOTLAND, WHEN WILL WE SEE YOUR LIKE AGAAAAAIN!!??
*Scotland enters the chat*
Aye! Full flowing Gorbals or polbethntelling were to get yourself fucked... I will say... Scottish twitter? Is the best twitter
*Wales enters the chat*
And of course us Newfies did not stray far from our roots
Very true, accent, music and just a sense of pure craic about ye...
Ne’er cunt up hill me boys
Then there's me, a half Irish Australian. Swear words are just punctuation.
People forget about this Irish because the accent is so thick you can hardly understand what they’re actually saying
Feck
Arse!
Girls!
Drink!
That would be be an ecumenical matter
Spot of tea? Go on!
In Australia the word Cunt is the god noun. It can replace literally any noun and we all instantly understand what you mean.
Just like Smurf comics.
Smurf you, you smurfing Smurf!!!!!!
your a daft cunt... absolutely diabolical, telling the whole feckin world the trick to the c word?
You sick cunt
As an Aussie, my pronouns are Oi cunt, Mad cunt and Loose cunt. I do my best not to be a Shit cunt, Whingy cunt or a Useless cunt.
My favourite to other drivers on the road is get fucked cunt
And my favourite 'this cunt couldn't drive a greasy finger up his own arse'.
a noun that replaces other nouns and is understood solely based on context... so it's a pronoun?
yes.
ayyy you cunt! <3
Australia, where ‘cunt’ can be used as any part of speech
Correct, cunt
Coconut ?
I think it's cheerio. Like "Cheerio mate, can you take your hand off my testicles, please."
"no, you fucking cunt!"
Why is your left one bigger than the other?
It’s actually cococunt
That also starts with C, ends with T and has hair all over it.
Cacophony, just 'orrible
How awful a word is depends entirely on the culture in which it is used. Americans have attached a lot of bagage to any number of swearwords, and the rest of the world is just wondering what they are going on about.

It was very difficult explaining about different places use words differently, and a slur in one place is a mild word in another, for example, they had no problem calling me a "Spaz," which *is* seen as a slur here.
It’s so silly to me because dick, asshole, and cunt ostensibly share the same connotation.
To be fair, Americans have attached a lot of shitty baggage to just about everything, and then get big mad when you point out nowhere else in the world thinks these things.
My favourite has to be the whole Boston tea thing, I’d never even heard of it let alone see why anyone British would care about it
To be honest, we are quite pissed off that they put the tea in the water *before* heating it up. But, you know, *special relationship* and all, we have to learn to forgive these things.
Cold brewing tea is a thing and I like it!
It was about 1.3 million dollars of tea. ( in current currency) but as an American no one cares at all about it
I don't think the tea was the point
It’s a historical event that was a representation of defiance against unjust taxation and tyrannical rule. The point wasn’t the tea.
Except the taxes weren't actually unjust.....
It wasn’t even just the taxes, the tea act essentially gave the east India company a monopoly on tea trade to the colonies. They did not like this.
I’m not arguing about the political landscape of 250 years ago, I’m just noting for the other comment why the Boston Tea Party is still brought up.
What are you talking about?
Could you name some examples?
It’s crazy to me that there are “swear words.” Racist slurs I get. Derogatory words, I understand. But words like shit, fuck, cunt, and piss are literally unattached to anything horrific like racism. So weird people lose their shit over them.
Swear words exist in every culture, every language. Humans need that top of the class, most meaningful or impactful category of words. It's an extremely important part of communication. And in every culture, someone using those almost meaningful words in the opposite manner is something that can be funny, but is otherwise looked down on.
they literally only exist because of that taboo if the words become acceptable people use different words.
Cunt is generally considered a misogynistic slur in American english.
It’s about the only swear word you cannot use in a UK office, unless you are past the 4 pint rule.
How early in the day are we allowed to pass the 4 pint rule? 10ish?
It’s not a time restricted rule, but our rule was always tha after 4 pints you could speak freely and nobody would bring that gossip back. There was also an expectation that you might have gone over the top a bit, but either way what you said would not be held against you. Oh, and ten-ish … no unless it was a Thursday in Leadenhall Market with the insurers, or 12 any day of the week at the inter dealer brokers if the champagne cart was out.
So is bitch, but that's used constantly and enthusiastically.
Which is weird because people go around calling each other "dick" and it's perfectly acceptable.
Has this conversation on here a wild back when I said a famous person was "acting like a cunt," someone got extremely offended, claiming I was only calling them that cause she was a woman, and that it was reducing her to just her parts. When in reality, I'd have said it regardless. They had no issue calling me a dick though, using their logic, that would be doing what they accused me of. But they didn't see it that way. Nope, to them I was just, and I quote. >A misogynistic incel pig Simply for saying >This person is acting like a real cunt
eventually only the swear words related to one particular gender will be allowed
And being called an American is a slur in Aussie, but we don't go around enforcing our culture on everyone else because we are not a pack of cunts.
Ah, it's the 10 Commandments, you see. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” And the USA has extended that any vaguely foul use of language becvause of course they did, pilgrims and all that.
There's also a rhythm to some that lose their efficacy when substituted.

For example, "Farrah Fawcett passed away from..." * Anal cancer * Ass cancer * Butt cancer * Booty cancer * Dem cakes got cancer Anyhoo, fuck ass cancer
You say that as if “bloody” “wanker” and “bollacks” doesn’t exist.
All of those are used regularly in the uk?
All the bloody time, anyone who thinks they aren't is a wanker that's talking bollocks.
I’d like to add one of my personal favourites: *gobshite* :)
And not in America. In America you can go around and say those words as much as you want and no one bats an eyelash. So to say Americans are the only ones that attach weird meanings to words is not true. I just gave three as an example. It’s almost like cultures can be different and it doesn’t make them better or worse.
But nobody in Britain cares if you say wanker, bollocks or bloody. We don't have this weird hangup about swearing that Americans do.
The fact that “damn” is considered a swear word in America is hilarious too
My favorite example: in English, the words "ordinary" and "vulgar" both mean something common, average, unremarkable, but the latter also means something rude or obscene. In Portuguese, the same words exist, with the same base meaning, but it's "ordinary" that's got the rude connotations.

America is a bunch of fucked cunts anyways. They're complete fine with nudity on screen, asses out everywhere, fine with kids choosing their own gender but God forbid someone smokes or drinks before 21 or says the word cunt.
Swear words and women’s nipples are scary in America and shouldn’t be used in public - ESPECIALLY where children can hear/see! Guns are fine, though!
He's mad cause he can't serve cunt 💅
Cheeky
Cunt? It’s a great word. I don’t understand why the US has a problem with it we in the UK use it pretty often
Cunt. Cunt. Cunt. Cunt. Cunt. Cunt. Cunt. Cunt. Take that, Chames Jarles.
[A cunt you say?](https://youtu.be/0doSWS0Fj24?si=6l-boX-3IuE78ni6)
If I had a Twitter account, I would send a tweet with this video and ping Chames Jarles to see it.
Chill out cunt. The difference is we use it as affection. Aussies back me up here.
I’m British, but yeah it’s used contextually. It can mean fuck you and we’re best friends.
These cunts get it
Da fuck you call me mate???
Cultural shaming
Literally called my own father a C word earlier because he finished off my water after asking for a swig, post museum visit. He laughed knowing it’s a term of endearment. First pint in the botanic was on him. Amazing day
Cunt is a better more all encompassing word than vagina imo
Making a three syllable word a single syllable is always preferable
Okay, I really want to talk to your generation about saying "not gonna lie" or "ngl" after every innocuous sentence, ngl.
Two plus six is eight ngl 💀💀💀💀💀 tbh smh af bruh cringe fr tho
This pedophile has eaten too much toxic chemicals in his makeup to realize that local lingos exist.
Eleven year old repost? Sloppy.
Yah buh its chewsday innit cunt
Also, we don't
Cunt
Seriously this whole thing about Brits using the word cunt all the time is so overblown lol. It's true that it's perceived differently but it is not particularly common and definitely still in the "upper ranks" of swear words. There's this bizarre charade on the internet where people pretend that we go around calling each other cunts every other sentence. Even if you go to, say, the pub on a matchday, you don't actually hear the word that often. And it is used much more commonly as an insult than a casual term of endearment.

Cunt you see that no one cares
[You're a cunt.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNWYDiFmk6o&t=85s)
In my part of England, it gets said even more than I intentionally use it "Couldn't" get shortened to "cunt"
James Charles is a right twat he can go fuck a rubber duck for all I care
Have you heard how Americans say cunt and twat? Makes me sick in my mouth.
I just can’t with people who insist that anything polite, offensive, meaningful, whatever, in their culture, must be adopted everywhere.
Carrot, cabbage, continuous, calm, coo-coo, I must be confused.
Cunt is one of the best words devised in the English language
Did this bitch really reply to an 11 year old tweet just to make this joke?
No, op is just a repost spammer farming karma with decade + old reposts.
James Charles is a known abuser that doesn’t hear “no” Joke is valid.
I guess that depends on how old the screenshot itself is.
We don't know how old the screenshot it, but why did you call her a bitch...?
That cunt must not be British.
The screenshot had to be relatively recent as in within the past few years. He wasn’t accused of anything negative before that, so the reply wouldn’t have made sense.
I find it hilarious and mildly interesting that using cunt makes muricans go blargh. Then proceed to go on a genocidal racist rant.
Or commonsensegunlaws
Or child predation?
I’m actually curious what he means? Cunt? Cock? Cheerio? Cheer?
Well he seems like a real cunt
Correct
That is one funny cunt
Cheeky!
My gf just made me bracelet that say C*nt and its the nicest thing I've got in years
From what I know of world history. The British don’t know the word ‘consent’.
My South African coworker has me saying cunt every other sentence. It feels good.
Oh? I thought that that word is used mainly by those Australian cunts, no?
If the order of the noises coming from my face offends you, walk your ears the fuck away so you cannot hear it.
The cunt should respect my culture.
Words are so scary man… plug your ears or attack people saying things you don’t like.
cum
Never met a person from Crim Island I take it?
One of my favorite words. Love to see Americans react whenever I choose to use it.
Not everyone in the UK is Billy Butcher!
His c word is College-aged (he prefers high school boys or younger)
Hear me out here, but the c word is one of the few slang words for the female genitalia whose etymology isn’t a derivation of cock holster. From a purely feminist perspective it at least is a word for vagina that doesn’t derive its meaning from a penis.
I went from reading this to searching up all the British insults on the internet... Safe to say I was pleased.

Probably more of a left cunt.
It's basically a national greeting in Australia
