The C Word ...

[Eleena]

Sat amongst fellow male workers, me the female & three males, them watching football in our break. The C word was said a number of times, till I couldn't not react. I think they thought it odd for reacting, don't you find it a vulgar word?

[aelmpvw]

was the ref having a bad game?

[Eleena]

Well, one backed me up, one laughed ... and the one that said it said he didn't know it was offensive??

[murraymints]

bad language in public and in female company is not good, I would have reprimanded them

[wolf63]

Christmas?

I don't like the word to which you refer and have never used it. But I use the Fword far too often

[Eleena]

No idea ael.

[mikey4444]

Me too Minty !

[Eleena]

I said exactly that Murray.

[emmie]

its a vulgar word, not pleasant in women's company, perhaps they forgot you were there....

[ladybirder]

I would be offended if they used that word in front of me. Luckily, I don't know anyone who does.

[donny48]

It seems to be an increasing thing that swearing is used as normal conversation and accepted as such.

[ummmm]

It doesn't bother me but I was brought up in an Irish pub.

I have noticed it gets used more more nowadays.

[murraymints]

I am very far from being a prude, but uncalled for gratuitous cursing is unnecessary and says something about the..inadequate.. person resorting to it....

[Eleena]

Probably carried away with the game emmie, but hard to have forgotten I was there, a massive common room and just the four of us. I wish I'd have just upped and left the room in silence, sometimes silence says more than any words.

[murraymints]

helloooooo Donny XX..OO..XX..OO..

[ummmm]

Minty - you've just wrote nearly my whole family off as inadequate.

[donny48]

Hello Minty, XXOOXX all done without a swearword.

This reminds me of the first lecture from our platoon sergeant when I joined the RAF. "During this course you will be subjected to multiple verbal abuse. However, we will never call you a b******d, in case you happen to be one".

[Prudie]

It's the one word I find truly vulgar and offensive but work in a male dominated business and it's used a lot in banter. Most, if not all of them, are respectful enough to not use it in direct conversation with me.

[Baldric]

Not a word i would use, and I promise you I can swear like a Trooper at times.

[Sqad]

Women don't like that word BUT but men do.

Not sure how that will help LOL.LOL
