For 'people of a certain age' (eg me) it was taboo for so long...I remember Alexei Sayle had a routine about it cos he wanted to push boundaries by seeing how much he could use it.
But the youth seem to use it with abandon and my (adult) kids can't understand why I think it's on a different level to, say, p**ck.
Sorry I thought this was the who could our next manager be thread? Some of those names seem quite worthy. I've looked at the list and Joey Barton seems to figure in almost every case. Is he our new manager?
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Same here on the taboo thing - I used to tell a young girl that I worked with that it sounded so nasty when she said it. Then a few years later when my boss decided to sell the business to someone who didn't want a conveyancer and he'd arranged my departure behind my back (and the bloke didn't buy the business in the end anyway) I went down on the prom and called him the 'c' word over and over again and then I never looked back after that but I do still think of it as the ultimate swear word. Gareth (Blob) never really swore much but he's the only person I've heard say someone was a f'ing c (could have been QPR related) that sounded like it just tripped off the tongue with his accent. We have 'tuss' in this neck of the woods which doesn't seem to be widely used as Gareth hadn't heard it before?

Ditto. Growing up, it was deemed most offensive here in Blighty but Hollywood (who influence pretty much all popular culture) were always far more relaxed, throwing it about so as to lose all impact. This is not new either. Kill Bill was released in 2003 and closes with the line from Bill to the Uma Thurman character "You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. But every once in a while you can be a real c***"
