I never really understood why that particular "anatomy as pejorative," was considered to be head and shoulders above every other one in the English language. Nobody blanches when someone gets called a cock or an rear end in a top hat.

It's viewed much worse in the States than it is in the rest of the English-speaking world for some reason.

Yeah, it's pretty much used as punctuation in a lot of places in Australia.

edit: not that that's necessarily correct of people here to do that, just saying it's not considered as offensive.

It's the gendered part of it that's the problem, and it's part of why conversely, cock is viewed as a pretty mild swear word.

It's not like the "C-word," has a different definition in different places. In every place it's slang for the same thing, and like most anatomical slang it is sometimes used as an insult. I was just saying I'm curious as to why it was the "winner," of the most offensive contest, even compared to other words associated with the same body part.

"Twat" is considered a rather bad curse word over in the states too, is it not? We use the C word regularly over here, and twat is basically a jokey insult with hardly any sort of malice behind it.

Rightly or wrongly, you could argue that if you want to reduce its impact as a whole you should use it more to get rid of its sacred cow image and integrate it into regular cursing vocabulary. That being said, using it to refer to the body part it's meant to refer to feels absolutely revolting to me and I'd never ever consider doing that.

In order to get the thread back on track, I want to say that the quote in the OP is one of my favorite things ever, and I think there's something particularly hilarious about Japanese wrestlemen saying funny things in broken English on Twitter (and just so I don't seem like a racist dickbag I'm sure my attempts at Japanese if I knew enough would be just as laughable :)). The quote was Taka, wasn't it? Has he had any other gems since then?

Yeah in the UK and Ireland it is more about the sound and malice you can put into the "c" and "t" rather the literal meaning:

Adding "Taka is coming motherfucker!" to the beginning of his theme song is the only gem I require.
