gdf Posted March 5, 2009 I say "cunt" an awful lot, often creatively as much of my swearing is. "OH CUNTING FUCKWADS!" etc. I don't see why people get so offended by it to be honest, I've always been confounded by the impact of swearwords. Then again, were they not "swears" I wouldn't say them as much. Not even really sure what motive I have to use them, it's probably means I'm some sort of horrible asshole. Also, "cunt" doesn't sound right in a North American accent, it takes a broad, Scottish tone to truly deliver its full impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted March 5, 2009 Also, "cunt" doesn't sound right in a North American accent, it takes a broad, Scottish tone to truly deliver its full impact. But that makes it a term of deep affection then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted March 5, 2009 "You'll order this game online and have it stuffed through your mailbox!" ign.com I like the subtle violence here -- makes me think of sleep-deprived postmen getting pissed off with all those Play.com jiffy bags they have to lug around.

James Posted March 6, 2009 I say "cunt" an awful lot, often creatively as much of my swearing is. Well you are (presumably) Scottish. I think you guys are probably the masters of swearing. I, being a nerdy suburban Southerner, tend to come off sounding a bit awkward. But I don't let that interfere with my enthusiasm. ----- "It'll comfort you with hugs" - IGN.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrobbs Posted March 6, 2009 Cunt sounds better as you go north - 'Kant' to around the midlands 'Coont' from midlands upwards Can't even begin to phoneticise the Scottish version, but it sounds better still Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gdf Posted March 6, 2009 I'd say that "Cunt" is as close as you can get to the phonetic spelling of our pronunciation. Apparently the Inverness accent is the "purest", pronunciation-wise, in the English-speaking world. And I know you can't help it, but in most English accents the letter "R" is replaced by an "ahhhh" sound. This really pisses everyone here off. Again, sorry, it's not your fault, but it sounds so weird! :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted March 6, 2009 Interesting. R as in 'lark'? Yeah I can hear how we do actually say 'lahhk' instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdf Posted March 6, 2009 You've never noticed?! Every time I watch TV it makes me slightly more aggravated Weird = "Weuhhd" Farce = "Faahs" etc. You do pronounce it at the start of words, or at least in the first few syllables though: Pronounce = "Pronounce" But then you can flip it round in one word: Roar = "Raaaw" I feel kind of bad for going to such great lengths to point it out, but if you didn't notice then perhaps others are unaware also. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrobbs Posted March 6, 2009 Don't be sorry! What you've just said has led to me finally being able to do a fairly convincing Scottish accent. It's been fucking awful up until now, so I guess it was needed to be pointed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brkl Posted March 6, 2009 Arguing 'purity' regarding an accent is... absurd. And what happened to all those Vikings who settled in Scotland, don't you think they had any influence? Why do you pronounce the word 'cow' exactly like the Swedes? Certain English accents, as well as the Australian and NZ accents, are non-rhotic -- they don't pronounce the post-vocalic 'r' unless it's followed by a vowel (I study this stuff). It's not that they pronounce something else instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brkl Posted March 6, 2009 I don't like seeing English speakers argue about how some accent sucks for some reason, because the variety is what makes English such an interesting language, that's all. I didn't want to sound like I was wagging my finger though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
