Fuck and shit just ain’t cutting it anymore.
Champ.
Yahoo#1: “The Earth is flat, didn’t you know?”
You: “Alright, Champ.”
Pimmel.
American
Bro said the A-word 💀
And if you wanna feel extra spiteful, use American’t
Make it sound like Americunt.
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
cunt
Twat
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.
you UTTER building material
You fucking spanner.
**Puts on British voice
‘‘You tooting foghorn of ignorance’’
Poes
The top turd here in the US is definitely a cockwomble
Lately I’ve been a big fan of “bungalow”, to signify that someone has nothing upstairs.
Republican
Definitely a slur
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.
“Fargin Bastages”.
A lot of Americans who say “fuck” will still lose their goddamn minds if you say “cunt”.
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.
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.
I know one, they get all bent over twat too
In England, twat (pronounced to rhyme with “hat”) is barely considered rude.

An incredibly vulgar way of saying “you” in Japanese.
What makes it vulgar, just curious?
I’m a novice when it comes to the language as a heads up. But my understanding is that generally most of these incredibly vulgar ways of saying “you” came about because they were originally actually respectful ways of referring to someone. But as time passed, people began using them ironically. So a term that was originally respectfully used to refer to someone of higher status is now only used if you’re basically cursing someone out.
Japanese doesn’t really have swear words, it’s mostly just words that are incredibly disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate for certain context.
There’s also 貴様 (kisama) which is basically so comically rude because, to my understanding, saying it implies everyone is inferior to you by default.
Edit: it’s also worth noting that saying “you” isn’t very common in Japanese in general. Usually you’d just refer to someone by their name. So even otherwise tame versions of you can still be inappropriate in the wrong circumstances. Not to the degree of these though.
The short answer is, “because history”. Like most words, although this often feels like a non-answer.
