Fuck and shit just ain’t cutting it anymore.
A lot of Americans who say “fuck” will still lose their goddamn minds if you say “cunt”.
Yeah, I say cunt a lot as an American. My mom hates it which is at least partially why I love it. Shit cunt is my favorite variation.
In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, “pussy” is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to “bitch.”
I mean, it can be, but there are also other ways to use the term. It also is the only word in English that refers to the whole gentalia, not just the vagina or some other part. Gee I wonder why the word for female genatalia is considered dirty to a bunch of puritanical Americans. Reclaim it.
Vulva refers to the whole genitalia.
Vulva is external only.
Yeah, you’re right. Every definition I can find for cunt is either vulva or vagina, but none say it refers to both. I think it’s just used interchangeably for both. I think the only term that refers to everything would be “female reproductive organs” and “female genitalia”, but that does include things like the uterus and the ovaries that both vulva and vagina (and therefore cunt), don’t include. I could certainly be wrong though.
People in the small-town South don’t take it well when you call them sister-fuckers, either, as I quickly learned.
Didn’t stop me, though.
I was virtually raised by Australians so i’m a little more comfortable using that word than most people in America.
I know one, they get all bent over twat too
In England, twat (pronounced to rhyme with “hat”) is barely considered rude.
For best results, it depends on the context.
For example, when I’m dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I’ve found myself muttering “ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte”.
Classic. Troglodyte is an underrated one. I also like cretin.
I like calling people inanimate objects. Being angrily called a “fucking waffle” or a “God damned acorn” hits different than the normal curses and slurs
Write that down! Write that down!
“Listen up, lollipops!”
Guess what “glans” means.
You could go full British. “You absolute/complete/total (any noun)”
You absolute sponge.
You complete brick.
You total signpost.
Its all in the delivery. Say it with enough malice and anything is an insult.
**Puts on British voice
‘‘You tooting foghorn of ignorance’’
you UTTER building material
You fucking spanner.

My friend group uses Moist to mean awesome.
That’s pretty moist, my homie.
Stop trying to make “moist” happen
It’s already happened, and it continues happening.
It’s a medical condition. I can’t help it.
But I don’t think tankies would mind being called “Moist”.
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant “Maoist”.
he he
Heard a lesbian once say they have the same reaction to the term “shaft”

Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It’s not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.
I wouldn’t use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn’t racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn’t a slur but gets treated as if it was one.
✓ quite offensive
✓ not a slur
X you probably still shouldn’t use it
The only reason people use this word is because it sounds like the slur. If you’re choosing words just so you can say “Actually, it’s technically not a slur,” you’re just being racist.
It never matters what is, only what people think, is.
This essentially sums up cutting education and ramping propaganda.
It could be argued that the term comes from racist roots and therefore using it is racist.
You could argue that if you make up the argument I guess.
In a professional setting: disappointment is the strongest word I’ve ever said to someone
Outside that? I don’t know if there is a good cutoff between slur/not slur… The one I vividly remember was old Chinese social media users (before the blockage) calling some people “Wumao” (translates to 50 cents). This is implying that the person is being a troll, and they did it because they were so pathetic that they accepted a 50-cent commission from the government to say good/bad things on the internet. Probably still the worst insult I could imagine till this day; modern equivalent might be calling someone “nice job ChatGPT” or a “Russian bot”
Call someone sticky, and dont use it like an insult say it like you are being genuine. If they try to hand you something shy away and be like “oh um no I’m sorry, you’re just kinda sticky” garentee that’ll leave a mark
Champ.
Yahoo#1: “The Earth is flat, didn’t you know?”
You: “Alright, Champ.”
Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.
American
Bro said the A-word 💀
And if you wanna feel extra spiteful, use American’t
Make it sound like Americunt.
Lately I’ve been a big fan of “bungalow”, to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.
Presidential.
Muppet, munter, twat. Just start using UK insults
When in doubt about swearing look to the british. Cunt and bugger.
Since when is cunt not a swearword you fucking donut
um. he did not ask for something that was not a swear. He finds fuck and shit to be to boring to use. He wants a non slur. Granted you can reach and say cunt being female anatomy is a femal slur but given I hear it more used for men. eh. also maybe you can related bugger to gay but its a stretch to.
Ah my bad, I thought slur and swear are synonymous for some reason, I stand corrected.
Though I would argue both dick and cunt are kinda slurs as they imply negative things about a specific gendered thing, at least that’s how I feel about them.
Weirdly I don’t feel the same way about the word for bunch of sticks and the one that rhymes with regarded
Because for me they have a specific meaning that is completely irrelevant to what they mean originally.
the one that rhymes with regarded
That one was so common in normal 2000’s conversation I am still trying to break the habit of saying it. If anyone has replacements, I’m open to suggestions.
Yeah I think part of it is they don’t belong as swears for your last two but they were turned into depilatories. Its a bit like some folks at things I have been to get negative about the YMCA song and im like don’t be like that. That man is loud and proud and supporting us with the national anthem of his people. If he could join us in costume Im sure he would. Celebrate the freedom found in the YMCA.
the British are SO GOOD at insults, if their accent wasn’t so damn hilarious roadrage would be terrifying
The range of invective is far richer than that. American terms of abuse are far more limited.
