- jrumbut 7y agoThat's a good point!
- mirimir 7y agoBut not so much in the UK, right?
- dghughes 7y agoI'm amazed at British TV shows even whimsical gameshows where everyone swears like a sailor. But when someone dares to say the "c word" it's bleeped and everyone gasps.
- Chris2048 7y agoI recall that the c-word used to be common too, then the idea that it was "the female n-word" was imported from the US.
- IgorPartola 7y agoAs someone who has an Australian friend, the avoidance of that word is definitely not universal.
