How the times they do change things....

I have been wondering about the evolution of language and I present this to you for your comment.

I first need a person(a volunteer's name so I can insult them...thank you Galt) so here we go...

Galt you one eyed, bloody, boot licking, cussed, scalawag, polecat! Your chasing after quim has gifted you with the French Pox from a Strumpet.

Rot in hades you bounder and cad!


Pretty tame vs what could be said today or is it just historical perspective?
The only power that words have is the power that you give them.

Fuck is shocking! in the US, not a big fucking deal in UK.

Why I love the word cunt. Easiest button to push when you want to annoy a woman.

So, I will say that we don't have the correct perspective to find those insults shocking, but I won't say that they are tame comparatively.
What the fuck you talking about Willis?

Well said Sillygirl, and nice legs.

Sillygirl, you're so right about cunt being the ultimate insult for some reason, particularly from one woman to another. Witnessed a particularly vicious brawl at a party a number of years back when the magic word was dropped by one of the girls. I'm not sure there's a comparable insult for men, but when you pull that one out on women, sparks fly.

What's the difference between a cunt and a pussy?



The cunt owns the pussy.

In the old days (maybe 200 years ago) they had style with an insult. Today, most insults have all the subtlety of a cement block.

It also helps to know your enemy and what would annoy them. I was engaged in a debate with a young woman in class and I intimated that she may be racist. She blinked, gasped, and choked on her argument. She was a liberal do-gooder. I never said she was a racist, I just pointed out that her argument was similar to an argument a Klansman would advance.

As for Catnip, it's nice to be remembered. Just make sure you spell my name right you hedonistic, pussy besotted wanker.

I have heard that cunt has magical powers over women but not the kind you can use in school. Which reminds me of another story; I was in a navy school with a bunch of guys and one woman. She worked in the same shop as I did and she had bragged how she had avoided sea duty by getting pregnant on purpose. I mention that she was a civilian in the naval service since she hadn't been to sea. Somehow she heard Civilian Under Naval Training or CUNT. She was mad and I was mystified. She was also the kind of woman who heard a guy yell "Bitch" ,when his wrench slipped and he opened his knuckles, who filed sexual harassment charges.

One of my favorite insulters was Winston Churchill, who responded to the high class lady who told him "you sir are drunk" by saying "and you madame are ugly, the difference is I'll be sober in the morning". I always think of those comebacks the next day.

Sorry, my bad. Changed it to the right wanker.

Another Churchill story; he was approached by the Lady Astor (a transplanted American who was oh so veddy British) and he was in his cups again (tipsy). Lady Astor had a mad on for Churchill and so she told him "Mr. Prime Minister, if you were my husband I would put poison in your coffee." Churchill looked at her with bleary eyes and said "Madame, if I was your husband I would drink it."

One more considering the site; Lady Astor once again talking with Churchill about morals. Churchill; Madame would you consider sleeping with me for one million pounds? Lady Astor thought about it a minute and said, "Yes, I would sleep with you for a million pounds." Churchill then asked if she would do it for 50 pounds and she angrily responded "What kind of woman do you take me for?" Churchill came back "We know what kind of woman you are now we are discussing price."

Churchill may not have been the original source of that quote, you wastrel.

As far as the word 'cunt' goes, I like the beautiful variations of the word. "Don't be so cunty!" just sounds fun to say. Then there are the hybrids. GUT+CUNT=GUNT. Then you can add on top of 'gunt' to get some eyepoppers:
