I had to wrinkle the bag a little so everyone would see what I saw.

    I imagine that’s the case in your culture. But in many places in Australia.

    “Oi Cunt”

    sounds no different to “Yo Man” would in the US.

    Obviously a cultural thing.

    It’s seems the US is very much still at the stage of stigma. Which makes sense, the US is far more puritan about language.

      Mostly yes, but I don’t speak for all families. Cursing is usually avoided around other people’s kids and in business situations here. In more relaxed situations, most people will let it slide. That said, cunt is basically sex talk and would make people uncomfortable.

      You could probably get away with the word vagina in an informative setting on prime time television.

      Pussy cat is the only way you are getting this second word in.

      Cunt is explicit and either was said by an Australian or is evoking direct sex talk.
