It's amazing. There are verbal borders? In a world where girls have plummeted to linguistic bottoms in the last ten years, where even 10 year olds endearingly call each other 'sl*ts' I am blown over that the infamous C word can still offend. Feminists have led this race to the cellar and I can't see any reason for giving any word a pass now. You made your bed; lie in it. And when your kid calls you a useless C for not making his breakfast, what did you really expect?
I'm about to earn my "redneck" label...........
If my son as a teenager had ever called his mother a "useless C" he would have INSTANTLY been spitting teeth. Then he would have been outside, wondering how he got there, and why his butt has the print of a boot on it.
We do have some standards.
I should say that despite serious drug problems, problems at school, and a rebellious nature, the kid always showed some respect, and I never laid a hand on him when he was a teenager.
AND he is now a fine young man.
