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.

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.

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 “?

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.

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.

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. 

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!

"Fair Dinkum" a Chinese saying "Fair Gold".

Australian verbal culture has adopted a lot.
Look at the Media and newspapers. They use Jail from America, rather than the traditionally established GAOL that was already established here.

As a Second Nations person. I demand the return to Gaol from the invader Jail word.

cont of a thing to do...

More like the effect Norman French had on English in England.

Unfortunately I not lived or visited any of those countries long enough to be able too form a opinion of their “ culture “.

Sadly I am simply not a expert on the culture of the nations you named and I can’t answer your question.

How much time have you spent living or visiting these countries that allowed you to develop the view of their culture that I must believe they are the same as “Australian culture “?

In Australia the word most people avoid is "moist". Heathens in other cuntries use it all the time.

So you saying there is no Australian culture?

I know you have trouble spelling so I'll help you out here.

The word is "navvy" - it is a word still used because it has a railway connection.

Trackworkers/laborers are/were known as Navvys.

Know for the tedious work done in railway line construction and maintenance in all weathers... especially in the heat. Hardwork = working like a navvy.

Mostly all called trackworkers now & in smaller numbers because of mechanisation.

It was used in GOT but I wouldn't say it was overused.

I use it but find it more overused by both young males & more young females.

We had 2 female supervisors at the Port of Brisbane - one was called BOAT - B itch O f A T hing.

The other was COAT - C **t O f A T hing.

My son & my mates son - both the same age - cannot put together a single sentence with out using phuk/phukking and a less spattering of the C word.

I gets a bit much when they're doing it in their mothers company & they know their mothers don't like it.

But it seems they can't speak without doing it - like it's programmed into their speech.

No doubt the c-word has a foot in the Australian common vernacular door, and within a generation it will probably have made itself at home inside...

Currently, it's a male socioeconomic marker where it's acceptable without adjectival modifiers when used as part of a greeting... as in, 'How's it goin' c~nt?'
