Its all about the context. Txhe C word doesn't bother me when its used in conversation about someone. If someone said to me, my boss is a real 'c' that's fine. It would offend me if someone called me a 'c' and I guess that's why I've been known to use it on the odd occasion to offend someone.

The word that begins with f and ends with ch is probably one of the more nasty names to call someone.

Urban dictionary has made the word 'felch' vile haha, but i dont know how it can be used as an insult. My other research on urban dictionary has left me to conclude its either this, fire crotch, falcon punch, or a typo

'Felcher' used against someone who is thought to be a slut.

Its something I've heard, teens using in a really derogatory way. I've also heard my own kids using the word 'scab' to describe someone they don't like. I believe that word came from the old picket lines and its a horrible word that's more recently lost its old meaning for something else

One of the worst words and unclassy. Then again I don't swear a lot n the whole. Not for any moral reason really just that I think it's smarter to be able to have a disagreement without resorting to swearing.

When I first heard the word, it was used almost solely by misogynists to describe women (not me) to describe them in a derogatory manner and I remember how that made some friends feel... so, not my favorite word.

I notice in the UK, the men use it to describe other men? I only hear teens use that word to describe people and it's very rare to hear an adult use it here. Americans like to add a lot of descriptions behind our insults. Skanky *ss ***** for example. But the longer the turn of phrase, the better. So we usually have a few favorites we stick to. Using the most vulgar word you know is the "cheap" route and not very inventive...

It's one of my favourite words, I use it frequently.

I think it's dumb to get upset over it, it's no worse than any other expletive or common insult in my eyes.

It’s a nasty word with a hateful message. Not a feminist word at all and full of unpleasant connotations. Not one I would be proud to use.

I thought it literally meant 'you are a woman's genitals'. Am I missing something, what is the hateful message full of unpleasant connotations? There are way worse unless theres a second meaning.

‘A degrogatory word for a woman’ hence why most women don’t like it.

Funny how there are so many insulting words about female bits used by many men - a message there I think. Of course some men using it will try to deny it. To be expected

To be fair though brillo, there are just as many about male genitals - dick, cock, knob, prick etc etc. I think the c word is offensive to some as it can be spat with real venom, due to the hard letter sounds.

Its not at all gender specific though (anymore) men get called it all the time..

Whether I find the word insulting or not is purely in the context of how it's used.

In nautical terms the c word is a name for a type of rope splice. Its also used to be used a '*******line' (the space between the bilges of two casks, stowed side by side. Where one cask is set upon the 'c')

Its a word that was used by Shakespeare in 'Hamlet' and 'The twelfth night'
