And Now, The C-Word...
Jun 4th, 2025 at 9:46am
 
There's something hypocritical, schizophrenic even, about the attitude of some Australians towards using c~~t in general parlance, given Australian culture allows for its use without any regard to the offensive effect it would necessarily have in any other culture within the Anglosphere.

Australians can be good c**ts, funny c**ts, poor c**ts, lucky c**ts, strong c**ts... name the adjective, in Australian lingo, c~~t can usually follow it... almost as if it were a formal grammatical rule.

In a cultural lingo, so established - one that uses c~~t more times in a week than Americans and Canadians combined would use it in a year - it's more than hypocritical to feign offence to its use at all... particularly when f**kwit, f**kknuckle, f**khead, f**kstick, &etc can pass by without a second thought.

I've always been amused with the forum word censor substituting "front bottom" for the C-word.

Of course, a few members have found a way around the word censor. Hint: use the Quote button for their posts and you'll see how they do it.

(I wonder who was the first to discover that particular 'bug' and how they did it? I have a strong suspicion a bit of mistyping may have been involved).

It's almost infantile in its effect...

To mask the use of a liberally used term in Australia, by a term that would not be out of place in a pre-teens movie, probably says more about the moderators than the posters.

And nevermind the supreme irony of the word f**k being replaced by the word, bugger!

I always find it amusing when someone says “Australian Culture “?

Is that not the definition of an “ oxymoron “.

If I can ask, what does it mean “ your working like a Navi “?

Not used much anymore...

Navvy once referred to a canal builder (a 'navigator'), then to a hard-working unskilled labourer.

More egregious than any hypocrisy over the use of the word c~~t, is the acceptance of the n-word by some Australians when used as an ethnic slur.

Why oxymoronic?

Every other nationality can identify Australian cultural mores, so why not Australians?

Does culture only apply to those nationalities whose citizens produce operas?

At best “ Australian culture “ is a bastardisation of dozens of other countries cultures.

At middle it’s “ throw a shrimp on the Barbe “.

And at its heart is the simple, mentally unstable convict from England and Ireland.

Of course many levels between these points exist but “ Australian culture “ is really a very funny concept to many more sophisticated and older nations.

So, you'd say the Kiwis, Canadians, Americans, the Hispanic South Americans have no respective culture(s) either, then?

No, you just suggested that not I.

Feel free to expand and explain your thoughts?

Why do  you suggest  they have no culture ?

I found the overuse of it in Game of Thrones tiring on the ears.
But I gather it's a British thing to say often, especially when they have to put up with all those Moslems, Hindus and other C###s in their country now.

A great song by Melbourne band TISM
"I might be a C###, but I'm not a f##king C### (at least)"
They highlight a big difference.  Cheesy

I'm suggesting that, by your reckoning of Australian culture, then the Kiwis, Canadians, Americans, and the Hispanic South Americans have no respective culture(s) either, given they're also young cultures spawned largely from European ones, within the last 300 to 500 years.

I think you have confused my reckoning and made a very broad statement of your own that your attempting to pass of as my own.

Why do you believe by your interpretation of my reckoning I believe the numerous nations you named have no cultures when I never made either a claim or speculating on those nations?

Your imagination is fantastic!
