I wonder if Joy realises the the irony of using that word !

Dear snake,

I think Joy fully realises.
Because Mr Pyne has in the past
been referred to as a
"powerless, barking Chihuahua..."

Crikey, whatever happened to this being a land where people were willing to call a spade a spade? We must have entered the Age of the Euphemism.

Personally I see no problem with calling cvnts cvnts. But if plain speech is too shocking for some peoples sensibilities then I'm happy to refer to Pyne as a cowardly, ungainly, nasty troglodyte.

Cheers,

Tony

Not a rule that you apply to your own posts, apparently. LOL

Tony Lavis,
The obscene language you might use at home may not be acceptable in public.

Matter of fact if you used it at home referring to your female partner (for the purposes of the example assuming that your preference was heterosexual), it could be the basis of a domestic violence order. What do you say to that?

I don't have a partner. But if I did she wouldn't be a cvnt. Life's too short to date cvnts: I save my romantic attentions for pleasant female company. Given that she wouldn't be a cvnt I'd have no reason to call her cvnt. Calling someone a cvnt when they're not cvnt isn't a very good example of plain speech is it onthebeach?

Cheers,

Tony

Maybe this is no longer a land where people know the difference between a spade and an effing shovel?

"Personally I see no problem with calling cvnts cvnts."

I prefer dysphemism also, Tony... so long as it is grammatically correct.

There are many versions of this guide to the 'f' word around the internet, but at least this one comes from MIT (though the Dan Quayle reference dates it).
