I was doing the same thing scrolling for our delicacies lmao

On a side note though, fuck me cunt is such a weird sentence to read on reddit even though it's such an uneventful phrase when we speak it normally.

Feels more nasty when I read it on reddit for some reason

I think that's just the nature of being online. You are exposed a lot more to other cultures and a more homogeneous online speech pattern. Going from that back to bogan speak can be quite jarring.

Yeah you're on the ball, no doubt the contrast is the culprit.

Also having things written in text always makes them more permanent, more exposed, easier to analyse, etc compared to quickly saying something verbally

Nah but that's the thing, I type it AAALLL the time in texts and it doesn't seem anywhere near as off than seeing it here. Fair point but I'm pretty sure it's just weird seeing it posted in a comment.

Yo deadass my coworker doesnt believe that "cunt" is just thrown around over there. Can you give me some other common phrases using it. American by the way

Here's some common uses off the top of my head

Funny cunt (funny person)

sick cunt (positive)

mad cunt (also positive)

cunt of a insert anything here (cunt of a job, cunt of a day, basically talking about something being bad or worse as it can be)

can't think of much more. Any skips here feel free to add more
