How many times has helen used the "C-Word"?

[Carah-lee]

People keep going on about Helen saying the C Word?...
Has she used it as much as people say? I only recall it two or three times...

[warrenhill]

Two or three times to many then .....:nono:

[Creggle]

Really shouldn't ever say that word, but in private its a little less harsh. On NationalTV though... :nono:

[Carah-lee]

true..

When I mentioned this yesterday I was shouted down. Apparently in some areas it is used in normal conversation. Aisleyne was kicked off of BBOTS for using it. Most words are accepted but where is the line drawn.

[GypsyGoth]

The word just means vagina, I don't see the big deal about it.

[Kazanne]

Some use it ,some dont,it's no big deal

[Marsh.]

She uses it in the correct context. When she's describing the flapping big fanny in front of her.

[Livia]

It's not a nice word... I've used it, when I've been really angry or amongst friends when it's been funny. But I'd never, ever use it in public, shout it across a room, say it on TV... because I wouldn't want to appear common and base, which pretty much sums up Helen.

Usage alert
All senses of this word are vulgar slang and are very strongly tabooed and censored. The meanings that refer to a woman and a contemptible person are used with disparaging intent and are perceived as highly insulting and demeaning. There are many words used to refer to people in sexual terms. However, to call a person a ****, especially a woman, is one of the most hateful and powerful examples of verbal abuse in the English language.

The first meaning for that word in every dictionary is a woman's genitalia, and thus I have no problems with that word, if society wants to make it some sorta taboo and insult, that's their choice, but why should a vagina be an insult or something taboo.

Now I do think that some words should be taboo, I think it's necessary and does help people communicate better, however why should something that means vagina be the most awful word that can be mentioned in the english language?

[Dollface]

I hate that word, i just don't like the sound of it.. makes me cringe whenever people say it. I have a friend that uses it quite a lot and i tell her to shut up everytime she says it. (and not in a jokey way) i actually feel like i hate her when she says it lol.

Depends on how certain words are used. Come to think of it, I have never heard of a doctor saying that he/she needs to check a ladies C...

[Kazanne]

I hate the word TWAT but that's used pretty frequently,why dont people just be honest and say it's awful to say it as it was Helen that said it,lol,and tbh I've heard her say it once,as has Ash.

Even Ashleigh said it once

I just don't like the word, regardless of who says it

[Livia]

There are lots of words in the dictionary that are insulting. Because they mean something doesn't make them acceptable. I'm sure the "N" word is in the dictionary and means something, but no one here is going to justify the use of it. For me, same goes with the C word, no matter who says it.

[GypsyGoth]

Well the n-words only meaning is an insult to black people. However the c-word has more than one meaning. So my point is not that the insult means something, therefore it shouldn't be an insult.

I think the n-word is more severe of a taboo than the c-word. Yet most of society thinks the c-word is the biggest insult you can call someone. But the word just means vagina, so again my point was, why is being called a vagina such a big insult.

And cushty, the reason you probably won't hear a doctor say the word while working is because as I have mentioned, people deem it to be some great taboo word. The majority can't thinking of a harsher insult, that's my problem with the word, and I'm happy to be out of step with the rest of society on this one.

I'm not sure people think the C word is the biggest insult. Certainly not to me, there are lots of things people could call me that would be more insulting but I don't suggest they try it. The C word isn't an everyday word for vagina; it may be its definition but it's an insult. Is it okay to use that word in front of children? In front of your Grandmother? In the workplace? If it's not, then it isn't an acceptable word to throw at another person.

Love ya though x

See for me the fact it means vagina isn't why i dislike the word, there's just something about how the word sounds when said aloud that makes me cringe, same with the word "pussy" if someone uses that word to describe a fanny, i cringe so bad. Maybe i'm just a weirdo lol

[Creggle]

It's a word you keep in your reserve to really blow somebody up, because it is incredibly vile. People who use it often in life have no empathy or have exaggerated views of other people, thinking they are much worse enemies than they actually are. It's a slight step below punching somebody in the face where I live, and people who openly use it don't do it for very long. :joker:

She should receive a warning for using it tbh, imagine Mark's grandmother who will obviously be watching at home, she can't stand to hear any vulgar words, so imagine how she felt when the C-bomb got dropped, and she ain't going to be the only one out there by a long shot. It's BB's duty to make sure it doesn't make the highlights, or that the housemates using it never use it twice.

yes totally i really don't know how people can defend Helen she disgusts me with her sewer mouth , I was disgusted when Aislene used it on BBOTS , its not acceptable on TV on any show

Now see Kaz, I cannot bring myself to say that T word let alone type it.
However whenever I say twit, you know I am really thinking of a different vowel in place of the I.:laugh:

As to the C word, no, never just no.

I'm the same as you doll, i don't like those names (can't even bring myself to type them:blush:)

I don't know why people don't just use the words vagina and penis, they are the correct words, and there's no insult!

However my DD has just learnt what the word p***y means and finds it hilarious! I sometimes find her just singing the word over and over Lol! Bloody secondary schools!

'You alright cock?'

'Aww bollocks'

[bots]

Weirdly enough, its a word that seems to be accepted more in some regions of the UK than others. Don't know if there is some historical reason for that or not, but I've certainly seen it. In regions of Scotland such as Glasgow, its almost every second word spoken in some circles, so no-one would blink if called it. Try the same thing in Edinburgh, and you would likely be shot at dawn

Thank you so much for your post. I am 72 and a grandmother but I consider myself very broad minded. I have no respect for people who would use that word in public, let alone to have it broadcast on TV. Craigy, you have my respect.:kiss:

The worst part of it is that Helen and those around her don't at all seem phased when she drops a C-bomb, I'd hit the roof. I know that when living in BB apparently housemates get so used to it they forget about the cameras, but they should have some thought for the public. Some sort of filter. :shocked:

Although with Mark acting up 24/7 you'd think it would be difficult to ever forget your on a TV show, he's a human reminder. :hehe:

I'm sorry you've had to hear some of the vulgarity this season, even if Big Brother/Channel 5 are not. :fist:

Really? The word fanny sounds cute to me, lol! Bollocks is one of my favourite words! :D :D :D

[Dollface]

I haven't heard her use it, but I'd be very disappointed if she did. :sad:

Yeah i'm pretty sure she said it once whilst drunk (unless i misheard her), i was like NO ASHLEIGH NO :bawling:

I think it was in a conversation to Ash, i think she said something like "When i first met you i thought you were a C :laugh:" but don't take my word for it, i tend to dream things up sometimes lol

[Dollface]

On the upside, it's probably why you fit in so well with the rest of us on here!

:hehe: weirdos 4 life !!

[Robodog]

It's the most powerful of all the swear words that's for sure.

Interestingly though, as a word, it has the same root as 'cut' and also the county of 'Kent' which is so called because of the river Thames which 'cuts' into the land. Then it evolved into a derogatory way of saying vagina.

But the way most people use it these days is not so much as a crass way of saying 'vagina' - most people use it as a hardcore form of saying 'idiot'.

Ironically it's become a turbo gear way of saying you're a 'dick'

[Creggle]

Yeah i'm pretty sure she said it once whilst drunk (unless i misheard her), i was like NO ASHLEIGH NO :bawling:

I think it was in a conversation to Ash, i think she said something like "When i first met you i thought you were a ******* :laugh:" but don't take my word for it, i tend to dream things up sometimes lol

Actually now you've said that it does sound familiar, that's disappointing. :shocked:

At least she was drunk and wasn't trying to offend somebody, maybe just using it as a strong point as to how much her opinion on Ash has changed, but that doesn't actually excuse the use of the word. Big Brother should of punished her Steven style and made her wash her mouth out with soup in the Diary room tbh! :hehe:

Same goes for Helen and Ash, and they should of all received warnings.

[puzzled]

Two or three times to many then .....:nono:

Yes!

Not as much as she should have for all the annoying *******s in there.

The C-Bomb Word.

I haven't used the C-Bomb Word for years,mainly because I don't like the
sound of it,plus it's a strong swear word in some quarters. And since
I've been watching Big Brother for about nine years now,I've learnt that
the C-word is taboo on Channel Four and Channel 5.
Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, of Big Brother 7 UK fame,used the C-word on Big
Brother's Bit On The Side a few weeks since,and was promptly told off
by Emma Willis:nono:
The C-word,as you know,is used to insult a person-both seriously and,in some cases,as a joke,and is a casual word for vagina.
When I use to use it - and sparingly I should add!!! - I can think of an
incident when a workmate tried to wind me up as joke: He called me a C,
so I replied "I'd rather be a C than a pillock like you."Since I'm very attracted to women I was rather proud of being called a C!:dance::cheer2::laugh:
I use the attractive nickname of Pussy for vagina,and believe or not,I was
actually nicknamed PUSSY!:cheer2: It was a right laugh,I was proud of it
and there was nothing to be ashamed about!:cheer2::laugh:
The American term for vagina is Box,which just doesn't have the same ring to it like pussy does.......
