but I have to admit it came to mind when I saw the Pamster's performance.

This is one of them.

I will admit its use in the UK and Australia is deeply comic.

And yes, it is a slur that is useful when describing the deeply depraved Pam Bondi.

But I'm not gonna say it. Out loud.

The Mother Of All Karens is one of those people.

And I was screaming it at the TV during her disgusting disrespectful performance.

and I was thinking it very loudly.

But honestly, that is one word I can never get used to. Maybe it is the way it has been used around me and even about me. I'll just stick to "b*tch".

But it certainly applies to Pam Bondi & Karoline Whatsherface. Nasty skanks, both of them.

I’m from socal, where ‘skags’ are a rung below ‘skanks.’

I posted that in the title and nothing else. Then I see posts where the complete words are used all the time! I won’t say it’s not fair because like a friend used to say “The fair’s in July”.

And I'm still pissed about that slap on the wrist.

"You're a dick!"

for using that descriptor about another MAGA woman. I was basically told I wasn’t allowed to use that word.

It’s just a word. I think censoring profanity is ridiculous.

n*gg*r?
It's just a word.

Of two organs, especially for this scum of a woman. “DUNK”, to describe her personality. And that is pretty gracious for her.

I hate that word and never use it, as it degrades woman. But did you monitor my tv viewing yesterday?

The word * cunt* is the ultimate of vulgarities here in the US but used quite freely in other countries so it’s the power given the word, as you say. If one considers Pam Bondi the ultimate of vulgarity and wants to use the word, I’m not going to argue..if the shoe fits kinda thing with me.

I don't feel the need to use a gendered slur in our society. The term doesn't make me wince if used in a British context, but in the American context it does, even if used against someone I think is a clownish cretin.

I like Bleached Asshole

Has given me her permission to use the word, out loud. I reserve it for very specific descriptions of certain individuals.

The ag is one of those individuals. In fact, the word came up a few times yesterday as we were discussing the things we had read about the situation….

But now it is the only word I use when talking about Trump's bitches.

It just strikes me like a slap in the face. It reflects the ultimate degradation of women. People can say what they want in other countries, but that word is (or should be) completely unacceptable here.

I try to consider my audience when I am writing or speaking, and I try not to offend with out reason. And if I did not mean to offend, I will apologize.

However, I will say whatever I want, whenever I want, and to whomever I want. If that offends some one, that may have been my intention.

that using the word diminishes its power to degrade and dehumanize women. If you truly believe that, go up to a group of African Americans and call them the N word.

Imagine reading this on the front page of DU (like this one is right now) : “ I'm happy that [insert name] has finally made Americans embrace the N word.”

Disgusting and disappointing.

My favourite insult of late has been "Absolute American"....

I have plenty of choice words for that person.

"I'd call you a cunt, but you lack both the depth and warmth".

And then I was struck today on social media by how many times I saw it being used to describe her. If the shoe fits, wear it.

It’s a highly problematic gendered slur imo.

Please don't

"By my life, this is my lady’s hand. These be her very c’s, her u’s, 'n her t’s, and thus makes she her great P’s. It is in contempt of question her hand."

They have made all the words applicable and accepted.
Fuck these fascist pig!
Bondi is the cuntious cunt in the entire world of cunts. Except maybe for the puppy killer.

The meaning is still a term for a woman's genitals, and it is a negative term.

It si really gross to see this word advocated here at DU.

Calling ANY woman that is calling all women that.

I hoped the comparisons upthread to "what if" normalizing the N word...would put a stop to this



Long ways to go before everyone stops thinking derogatory terms can sometimes be used as a "treat"

Not just the women.

it perfectly applies to certain people. and Bondi is very deserving of being called that name. If the shoe fits...

She is one!

we sometimes see it here with homophobia.
Will it go as far as "rehabilitating" racist slurs because we don't mean every similar person, just one specific person? Time will tell.

Damn

When I worked in the hospital, we had a psych patient who was being admitted to a real psych hospital. We knew her well. She had tried to jump off balconies and elevated parking lots in our facility. We were waiting for an officer to pick her up for transport and she would not get dressed. She had on a hospital gown and that is all. She had clothes. Her nurse tried to reason with her and got called "cunt", the word had the desired effect on the nurse. I was the supervisor. I did not let it me even though the patient had an impressive grin on her face. I walked in and told her she could call me anything but either she got dressed or the cop and I would dress her. She backed down and got dressed. I told the nurse I understood her reaction. When used like that it is awful. Just so you know, later on the patient set fire to her apartment building and did some serious time.

But if I used the word, Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavette would bet the target.

Just as, in the film "Kingpin," the word for a loser was the surname of the lead character--a MUNSON.

From here on out, any petulant, bratty, unjustifiably contemptuous human who sounds like the current AG--well, I'm simply going to call them a BONDI.

As in, "Hegseth is such a Bondi." (Add Patel, Homan, Miller, and the champion Bondi of them all, Caroline Leavitt.)
