Reply to: The "c" word

[Old Greg]

I used to have a Glaswegian housemate who used the pronouns 'somecunt', 'anycunt' and 'nocunt'.

[jmo21]

and my own favourite c**ntybawz.

Even this one has been shortened to simply "c**ty" in my reprobate bunch of friends.

Can anyone remember the film where two ladies of a certain age are playing scrabble as a cop persues a miscreant through their flat?

In one shot you see MOTHERFU

and in the next you see CKER.

Well, it amused me at the time.

Aha!

Do they mention the scene in the Goldie Hawn movie Foul Play? She's being pursued by a ruthless killer, she's escaped through her window on to the roof, and now she needs to get back in again. She's looking through the window at these two sweet old ladies who are playing Scrabble. One of them has just played a very long word, which you can see starts with MOTH... and ends with ...ER. The other one's saying "I think it's hyphenated, dear". I love this scene!

A couple of years ago there was a brilliant article in The Times about the 'c' word. Now sadly lost behind their pay wall unless someone knows different.

More Tennis?

back to the OP's question, there are times when c**t is used instead of the word person...

'you're a pure crazy c**t '

would actually be taken as complimentary in most circumstances.

'check that c**t out'

Would, again, not be taken badly.

We maximised the use of the word with words like c**tyface and my own favourite c**ntybawz.

Parliamo Glasgow is a highly complicated subject so don't dive in unless you know what you are doing. Getting French wrong in Paris might end up with you ordering a horse burger, getting it wrong in Glasgow can end up in A&E.

When we play it at home rude words always count double. It should be in the official rules.

Being vaguely interested in how well computer programmes fare against hu-mans at Scrabble, it appears from this link that silicon triumphs.

Also came across these amusing anagrams:

DORMITORY: When you rearrange the letters: DIRTY ROOM

PRESBYTERIAN: When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER: When you rearrange the letters: MOON STARER

THE MORSE CODE : When you rearrange the letters: HERE COME DOTS

SLOT MACHINES: When you rearrange the letters: CASH LOST IN ME

ANIMOSITY: When you rearrange the letters: IS NO AMITY

ELECTION RESULTS: When you rearrange the letters: LIES - LET'S RECOUNT

SNOOZE ALARMS: When you rearrange the letters: ALAS! NO MORE Z 'S

A DECIMAL POINT: When you rearrange the letters: I'M A DOT IN PLACE

THE EARTHQUAKES: When you rearrange the letters: THAT QUEER SHAKE

ELEVEN PLUS TWO: When you rearrange the letters: TWELVE PLUS ONE

AND FOR THE GRAND FINALE:

MOTHER-IN-LAW: When you rearrange the letters: WOMAN HITLER

Actually Scrabble is better played by people of a mathematical nature. It's about patterns and numbers see.

He's right. It's all about strategy, you generally won't beat a good player by playing the longest or highest scoring word you can manage on every turn.

Hmmm if you're being cryptic, then I suspect so also

Where I come from, its a harsh word, one of the worst. And no man would ever dream of using it in front of a lady

When I prove you wrong I expect you to put your money where your mouth is and give it to the BHF.

Put some effort in as well. Wasn't Lady Gaga and Lord Lucan at the finish line with you as well?
