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
