The trouble with the name "Otto"...

When I was in elementary school, one of my classmates name was C. W. It didn't stand for anything, I guess his family thought you paid for a birth certificate based on the number of letters in the name. There were some really poor people in my primary school.

 

I wish I'd known that when I was younger, I could have had fun with that. In the American military, as slang and officially in communications prowords "Roger" means right, correct, yes.
Marines are also known for the numerous and fluent ways they can use the "F" word. i.e. "You silly little "F", that is just out f-ing standing, You silly f-ing little limp dicked fug, you better unfug yourself, before you piss me the fug off and I stomp yur fuggin guts out." Now, if I'd known that I could have used "roger" as a substitute, I'd have been golden.
Gunny "alright Marines since there was all that trouble during last liberty call we're cancelling liberty and will have organized athletic competition instead."
"Roger that shit, Gunny!", sounds moto, "right Gunny will do", but really translates to "fug that shit Gunny!"

 

Marines would fit right in whilst in Australia…everyone says it…7 year olds 70 year olds…it’s barely a swear word. You can put the word in at least three times per sentence. We even say it while we are thinking…’And this is fuckennnn…Julie!’ It can be shortened to ‘kn’ or ‘Ken’ in Australia. ‘My oath’ becomes fucken oath…becomes kn’oath! Or Ken Oath!

 

Yeah, pretty standard in Scotland an' all. Throw in 'feck', 'feckin' and 'fugging' too.

I notice the first picture also has the "C" word in it. That is the one word I am forbidden to use and very seldom do; I go years between using it. Of course, I do have an extensive vocabulary of profanity, much of it creative and seldom used in the regular world.
My wife is a very demure, nonconfrontational person. She avoids the use of profanity, avoids confrontations and I really doubt she's ever been in a physical fight, or struck someone in anger (except the one time I will mention) and if she did hit someone, I doubt she could hurt them.

We're in the car in heavy traffic that is moving along at speed, she's driving. Normally, if we're somewhere like Atlanta where aggressive driving is required, I'm the one that drives. Anyway, we're in the right-hand lane, barely a car length behind the car in front of us travelling about 50mph. The car in the left lane is about 2/3'ds a car length back from the car in front of it and about 1/3 of a car length ahead of us. A woman, talking on a cell phone comes zooming up behind the car to our left, then forces her way over in our lane, forcing my wife to slam on the brakes and jerk right, partway onto the shoulder to avoid being clipped. Cars behind us hitting brakes, squealing, barely avoiding piling up on one another.
My wife screams, "Did you see that bi*tch, she cut me off, she nearly hit me!" I can't remember ever seeing her so mad, so I say, "yeah what a stupid fuggin c*nt" (sounds like punt). She turns and starts hitting me on the shoulder yelling, "we don't say that word, ever! Oh, we don't use that word!" So, I don't.

 

In Australia…everyone is a c##t…it’s used like the word bloke or dude…‘Who’s that c$$t? It’s an old old word…

 

I never had a problem with it but have noticed it often has a visceral response when used surgically. Since the incident I've recounted, I have told the story to a number of females, always being careful to say "C-word" and not the actual word, and about 95% of those suffering from estrogen poisoning agree it is the ultimate bad word.

 

I’ve actually heard a number of times (watching various YouTube videos) that the word is still taboo in America…the few times I’ve heard Americans say it, it comes out weird…a little too we’ll pronounced. I think a few years ago I told the story of an American coming to our high school in Darwin, A big good looking cu…dude. Anyway someone says ‘who’s this c$$t?’ And BAM! It was on…a few air punches later, it was explained to him that the word was not meant as an insult…I’ve heard similar stories too.

I’ve posted this before…
