When/why did the word c*nt, all of a sudden the penultimate four letter word? Is it be because its ...?

Question

Is it because the c-word is a bad word in more countries?...

I mean ultimate then. I had watched an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares UK, when the chef and Gordon were cursing at each other. Every bad word was heard. At one point, gordon calls the chef a ****, and the chef calls Gordon the c-word...but it was bleeped.

Nowadays the word ***** is commonly heard on tv and people openly swear in public even in front of children, so why is it the only word that gets bleeped. Why is that someone has no problem with being called a *****, but goes insane when they are called a c*nt.

Its like its on the same level as the n-word. I would like an objective answer to this. Is it a word banned by both sexes for the sake of women, as the n-word is banned by everyone because of the subject of race?

Basically, is it in the same derogatory class as the other words. Is it because it has a historic backstory to it just like n-word?

the "only a guy would ask" comment was not necessary, I hate all of humanity equally :)

Answer 1

Penultimate means next to last. Ergo, I don't understand the question.

Answer 2

Maybe in your group it is penultimate. But it is still just another negative put down word for women in most of ours.
It reduces women to a vagina. Like we did not already suspect that state of affairs.

Answer 3

it's because all the other words have been overdone in the media and c*nt is the new forbidden word that is rarely said
I hear f*ck 20 times more than I hear the C word even though it's considered worse.

Answer 4

"C*UNT" has actually been around for a long, long time. According to one widely-accepted dictionary, the word traces its origins back to old german "kunte", which at the time meant "hidey-hole". lol true.

Answer 5

Only a male would even have to ASK this.
