Middle-Easterners in "Discovery"

The recipient of the insult is the one that gives if power.

 

Yea.
I've only been called a "fucking slut. Ugly dumb bitch, lesbian slut, dumb broad, stupid bitch, dirty cunt slut, ni**er, and just the generic, slut, cunt, bitch, whore, and oddly, Catholic, Ni**er lover"

Those are just some Ive heard.
I just laugh,
I mean really. The person saying these things didn't have the intelligence to actually even come up with an original insult!
It's not worth my time.

 

It's good you're strong enough that such comments roll off your back.

 

Hmm, I thought the C-word was just as atrocious as the N-word. I guess not.

 

Nope.
Not with an international audience.

 

It's pretty much a term of affection in Australia.

 

It is to me.

 

I call bullshit on that.

 

What? Seems pretty surreal, they're not even close.

 

In my neck of the woods, I was under the impression that the C-word is absolutely the most vile and derogatory word that can possibly be used to refer to women. But I guess vocabulary usage differs in different countries where the same language is spoken?

That certainly varies by a region a lot. My understanding is that in US it is very strong female-specific insult, whereas in UK it is mid-strength unisex insult.

Usually insults that are specific to a certain target groups are (justly) perceived more negatively, as they connote underlying bigotry in a way more general purpose insults don't.

 

Yeah, severity of an insult depends on the culture really. Some places one word is more offensive then it is in others.

 

Oh bugger off, the lot of you.

 

According to Wiktionary, it does seem to be used as an earthy term of endearment (specifically among and in reference to males!) in Australia and New Zealand. One would never encounter that usage in the US.
