    "angina" is a bad word
    so is "hoist" (cause when you give someone a wedgie, you hoist them up)
    "fornicate" is just a word thought up by parents to make kids think that sex is gross
    because "eschew" doesn't have to do with chewing, its a waste of letters

    whoever thought of "bitch-slap" ought to be kicked in the crotch (an excellent word there, crotch)

    writing a term paper makes me think that i talk intelligently
    why the hell did i write this?

By Kelsey on Friday, June 5, 1998 - 04:19 pm:
    i would have to agree that those words all suck. although, angina is pretty descriptive in terms of sounding like what it is. here's a really terrible word, "cunt." i don't like that word.

    cunt seems bad the first time you call someone that. but it's not so bad the 2nd or 3rd time. by the 5th or 6th time it is perfectly natural. by the dozenth time it is just another joke. "shutup, cunt!" HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAA!! "look, lookit her, i'd like you to meet my cunt.." HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAA!!


    in college i really got off on the words "ABDOMONAL ANYEURISM"

By N on Saturday, June 6, 1998 - 01:36 am:
    abdominal, that's pretty ugly. psoriasis (the heartbreak!), stalagmite (but not stalactite), and puce are all words that do not evoke delight...

By Kelsey on Sunday, June 7, 1998 - 12:04 am:
    turgid.

    I had a pithy addition on both bad words and "bad words" that I added earlier, but I must have left my PC before posting. Or it's been eliminated. Ah, well, spur of the moment, don't feel like recreating it. Live for the moment, that's me.

    i think it was the summer of my eleventh year. my sister and i were in the television room; i wanted to watch some war movie, she wanted to watch whatever bullshit 18 year old girls liked to watch at that time. since i'd been there first, i assumed i had the right to watch what i damn well pleased. she assumed the same due to her age.
    she was pissing me off.
    i told her to "shut her frothing cunt" or called her a "frothing rabid cunt" or something to that effect.
    she beat the living shit out of me.

    i've never called a woman a "cunt" ever since.

    the mere thought makes me wanna duck and cover.

By Dave on Sunday, June 7, 1998 - 10:08 pm:
    Yeah, but then if you're trying to offend someone, are there things you shouldn't say just because they are so unpleasant? I mean if someone really pisses you off and the only retaliation you have is to be offensive as possible, then let loose with stuff that'll hurt. 'Cunt' is a real bridge burner, though. So is 'hole'. It seems that the really offensive words are all targeting women. What can you call a guy that'll hurt him?

By Markus on Thursday, June 11, 1998 - 08:41 pm:
    "Cunt" doesn't seem to lose any of its force, regardless of frequency of use. "Twat", on the other hand, can become very casual frighteningly fast when hanging around citizens of the Commonwealth. Although it is used almost exclusively to refer to males. "Ya know what that stoopid twat did? He chundered on me new pullover, he did."

By XXXchris on Friday, June 12, 1998 - 02:46 am:
    Argh. "Cunt" is hideous. Esp. when associated with "stupid fucking"

    "hiya cunt"
    "go to hell, you bastard"
    "get me a beer"
    "fuck you!"

    so is "cunny." That sounds even less educated. I think that word carries with it an "Im a fucking uncultured toothless sweaty somewhat overweight grabby-handed 19th century American male"

    yes

By Dave on Friday, June 12, 1998 - 03:50 am:
    I used to work with a guy who was Scottish (a regular american of Scottish descent) and a bagpiper and he loved to say cunny. I remember when I was like 13 or 14 I had gotten a hold of this Canterbury Tales erotic elizabethan era storybook where all these nubile young teenagers liked to seduce middle-aged men and the word cunny was used frequently. Ummm. . . tomorrow, I'll probably wish I hadn't revealed this.

By Kelsey on Friday, June 12, 1998 - 05:49 pm:
    heehee! that's fuckin hilarious. dave used to relieve his teenage anxiety with elizabethan porno! i love it! i learn something new about him every day. he is truly an enigma.

By Markus on Friday, June 12, 1998 - 07:27 pm:
    And speaking of our degenerate fellow English speakers across the water, for them "fanny" is an obscene word referencing the above anatomical bits. Making for amusing times for Americans abroad with their fanny packs.

By Whet on Tuesday, June 16, 1998 - 09:08 pm:
    One of the best totally accidental jokes I ever made was trying my best to toast someone at a new years party - in response to his not quite correct english. In a foreign language and country (foreign to me that is) south america to be exact.
    As I raised my glass - announced 'felis anyo?'
    well don't even remember it now, but instead of happy new year, I toasted him as 'happy asshole'.
    ;)

    Markus, surely, by definition, the English cannot be degenerate with regard to the Americans, but let's not bicker about triviality.
    I must admit, it IS funny to hear Americans talking about fannies in polite conversation, but there are other situations where I'm sure the English come out with some bizarre phrases.
    The prime example is saying in a chatroom, "BRB, just going for a quick fag." I've now learnt to say "smoke" instead when talking to Americans.
    btw, you'll also hear "cunny" used in Ireland, as well as "ganny" (derivation unknown). Also in Ireland, "Baltimore" is hilarious as it means Big Cunt in Gaelic.

    Munich has a sizable expat Irish community, including a core of IRA types on the lam that I really despised. I was tending bar in an Irish pub in the Schwabing district, and tossed not a few of the wankers out on their arse, getting death threats in return. The owner, a miserable bollocks from Clare, hated Americans, so I was the only one among a staff of Germans and Irish.

    One night, we were all sitting around after hours throwing Guinness and Weissbier down our necks, as we were wont to do, when the topic arose of a mutual acquaintance who was an extremely unpleasant person. My boss, Sid, said, "She's Godzilla with a capital gee," and everyone wet themselves. The last word, apparently, being yet another synonym for the female naughty bits, though I wouldn't have any idea about the spelling. It's pronounced with a hard g, however, as in "good".


By Luckey X on Tuesday, March 23, 1999 - 08:26 pm:

    I'd like to start with:
    Crotch Waffle.

    Other than that, Henry Miller used the word Cunt rather profusely for anyone--regardless of gender.

    The word bitch-slap, however, gives me extra satisfaction


By Soft Gee as in Geeeeeeze on Thursday, March 25, 1999 - 04:47 am:

    I once went with a boy for a few months who called me that there "c" word, the first time I met him.


By Jim aka PajamaBoy on Thursday, March 25, 1999 - 07:34 am:

    He called you a crotch waffle? That BASTARD!


By Natasha on Monday, March 7, 2005 - 09:13 pm:

    Whet--
    Feliz ano is happy new year in Portuguese. Anho is portuguese for asshole. Just take the Y element out next time.;-)
