That's why I use that word very sparingly. She has to be acting more or less over the top for me to use that word. Otherwise 'bitch' usually suffices.
The word "whore" and its connotations
- Thread starter Idle Mind
- Start date
HERES A SECRET: It's cause they're not rich enough to get the gold digging girls. And frankly, the strippers and hookers ARE whores and sluts, by definition.
In Australia, the 'cunt' insult is gender neutral. It is used to refer to anyone who is a major asshole.
I think that is kinda funny. So a guy will call another guy a C**T?
Pretty much, although they usually do it behind each other's backs (eg. "What a cunt!")
Connotations - What people imagine a word or phrase to mean which may or may not fit what the speaker/writer intended, more often not, & usually does not fit the definition of the words.
Yeah I wonder how often someone actually calls someone a C**T to their actual face.
I've heard men called that as well. Calling a man a female word is a huge insult. Like pussy.
I believe in your OP you proved your own assertion. Whore is offensive, but it's still ok to say out of context. "Nigger" is such an offensive word that even just typing it out of context can be offensive to some. It's so offensive, we've had to create the term "n-word" just to be able to reference the term without actually having to say it. There is no contest which is more offensive. The "n-word" in my opinion, could be one of the most powerful single words in the English language right now. There are some places, where using that term out loud could literally get you killed...I know of no other term that evokes such a powerful response. Only thing close is "free money".
N-word is utterly stupid. It is ridiculous that they've created the term "n-word" just to be able to reference the term without actually having to say it. Any time it's OK to say N-word, it should be OK to say nigger. Any time it's not OK to say nigger, it shouldn't be OK to say N-word.
Probably someday idiots will consider N-word offensive.

Ok, I have a question. If the word Nigger is so highly offensive why is it used so much.
Black music artists throw it around in their songs, and address eachother as Nigger. Is it ok if a Black guy addresses another Black guy or a buddy...." Hey Nigga " Is it just more offensive if another race calls them that? Or is it just something that is cool among Rappers or Music Artists?
Personally I don't use the word.

People now claim black or Negro are offensive. The whole thing is absurd.
It depends on the context in which it is used. 'Whassup up my nigga!' is an instance where 'nigga' (just nigger is eubonics) is used in the context of a friendly greeting. "You dirty nigger!" is an instance where it is used as a slur.
Although sometimes, 'nigger's' acceptability is interpreted in light of the verbaliser's skin colour. Which is bullshit.
Using "whore" to decribe a woman is always an insult in normal usage. Since it could reasonably expected to incite others to violence, I would say its at least comparable to "nigger" for an insult.
Personally I've always felt it is used only by the envious.
Its advantage over "cunt" as an insult is that it also insults the woman's partner and implies infidelity. "Cunt" is a more directed insult.
