threats to rape us and referring to us by our genitalia
See that word I highlighted? What does that mean?
There's a big difference between using that word as Peter described and threatening rape.

Try again. Re-read my one liner.

Yeah, I did. It's wrong.
They're both "sexually charged rhetoric", so valid for her to comment on both, in THAT context. Doesn't mean the varying usages of the word "cunt" have fuck-all to do with threatening rape otherwise, so your one-liner sucks in our context. HTH! -- Christian R.

Again, nonsense.
They're both "sexually charged rhetoric..." That is in the beholder. I can assure you that on the infrequent occasions I use that word it is *never* "sexually charged." bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. |

Maybe (some, not all the time [you may think so, but recipient not]) when you use it. Not generally.

I infer from Peter's nicely nuanced descrpition
that in Blighty: it's akin to [employing a common Asian Gotcha!] conveying your wish for the recipient at the level, ~"May you live in Interesting Times!"; some disdain implicit ..but no cause for fisticuffs nor, does its gender-origin ..usually become invoked. 'Course too, if you know zippo of the recipient's MO? then as, Ignorance kills sometimes, your caveat supersedes :-) Then there's Our Dolt-in-Chief admonishing Turkey's Dictator, "Don't be a sap!"--in writing, yet. (aka with Republicans, "it's always [Psych-on]Projection[/])". Anyway, the Word seems a fine litmus for comparing the sometimes hilarious 'connotations' /or sometimes weirdness of encounters with yet-another (new to you) Tribe. I remain--sometimes astounded--at your level 0f Grokking across several, er 'platforms'--right on down to slang. I wonder if you're in the right specialty, to wit: every Ambassador needs a linguist-on-tap; prolly sorta filled by 'Translators' but I know-not if many of these possess the full panoply of (any Other? tribe). ie This needs quite more than Boolean logic, I wot.

The Euros and the Yanks are forgetting that...
...our use of "cunt" sits in this context: And I find all your comments very interesting. |

Brit Psychiatrists must suffer a lot..
Re-coding the responses to simple queries, I wot. So during this event, what did you think your Mother meant? ..and like that. (Or has The Pub replaced the couch?) Or as PIet Hein puts it (yes, another Grook w/sketch) A REPROOF Grook in answer to a long explanatory letter In view of your manner of spending your days I hope you may learn before ending them, that the effort you spend on defending your ways could better be spent on amending them. |

Brilliant.

what about the phrase "we'll see" after being asked a favor?
