[Language warning] The C word.

I never quite understood how anyone can be offended by a word.  Words,  in and of themselves are not offensive.  It's a completely different story if someone is attacking another personally with perceived harmful words.  People tend to have extremely fragile egos. Cunt,  is not the only forbidden word that seems to instill such a sensitive and negative perception.  Faggot, nigger, kyke to name a few.

Now,  if some braindead fucktard is spewing hate filled bile that is peppered with these violating words,  that is their right.  Just as it is my right to think you are an idiot for doing so.

PC, I have not previously thought the term to have a misogynist sting. There are ladies and there are insufferable bitches who might well be labeled as cunts in the derogatory sense.  The term is suggestive of the feminine gender but it certainly does not apply to all women or even a small segment of the female persuasion.

Many years ago I was the batting coach for a national championship caliber women's soft ball team. We had social gatherings now and then. On one such occasion, we were playing Blackjack and I had been losing to the lesbian dealer with regularity. I had a hand that totaled twenty so I knew that I could beat her. I lost. She had twenty and the push goes to the dealer according to the rules at the time.  Having had a few too many glasses of wine, I exclaimed; "You miserable cunt!"  The whole room burst into extended laughter.  Truth be known that all of them knew that I loved and respected them. I never did live that one down. It is not really a bad word if you know and care for the one who is the brunt of the saying.

This right here, it just had to be quoted for truth.

I can go from being a lady to an insufferable bitch in about 3.5 seconds, maybe 4.5, around there.
Can anybody else, here, beat that speed?

Not me, I need to work up to both states from a blase medium.

I can turn on a dime, but that usually involves a conscious decision. My emotions don't usually go deep enough for me to be able to switch extremes like that - there simply are no extremes to switch.

I think that's like the "I'm warning you..." --stage. I used to go there, but I don't waste time on that anymore.

Nope you really need to push me hard. If that happened and you didn't get the warning signs then you fucked up big time because I don't do half measures of anything. I still wont be angry though.

Mine is also a conscious decision as well. I don't do it around children or old people.  :nu-uh:

I don't like me when I'm angry.  :shifty:

Like what?
Like hurting their feelings?
Like, knowing what their insecurities are...and you stab them there?

Nope, hurting feelings is easy and only really works on those that wouldn't be able to push me to the kind of levels required to make me act anyway. That doesn't really do anything except hurt emotions, if I hurt peoples feelings it is often without realising. There are only four people that have ever pushed me that far, two in secondary school, one in Uni and one when I was new to the working world.

I thought this made me an insufferable bitch:

I guess there are levels of insufferable bitches. :sad sigh:
Here I was, bragging about how fast I could go from a to b., when what really mattered was the intensity of it.  :sad sigh:

I don't like me when I turn into a dick/prick/asshole/some other nether region demon.  But, we all exhibit our lower nature at time.  Wash, rinse, repeat.
