Stunned silence

Today, my 7 year-old daughter loudly asked in the middle of a supermarket, "Mummy, what's a cunt?" FML

When I was two I shouted "OH ****" when I couldn't find something in the fridge. I then told my mom I only said that when I was frustrated. Evidently I had picked up something from my dad getting pissed off at another driver. Kids just know when someone's cursed.

Just make sure she doesn't repeat that at school

It's the UK. It's a totally different context over there. The word may not be appropriate for a child, but people aren't going to be clutching their pearls over it.

Where has this thing about UK and the c-word come from? I have some certain mates who will use it more casually but it's still very much a bad word, probably the worst of the swear words, and is definitely not something you just go around yelling in public, unless you are actually a ****. I definitely wouldn't say it in front of my parents or other similar adults even though they don't generally have a problem with other swear words. **** is still that step too far.

When I was little, I started screaming "****" because I thought it was a new word I invented.

I have a 2 year old niece who is a chatterbox. She loves saying inappropriate things in public... I feel your pain!!

my dad told me that it was another word for teacher

My sister once loudly asked, "What's a cliteris?" in a packed movie theatre at a quiet part in the movie. Apparently the old lady in front of them couldn't stop laughing.

When I was eight my dog knocked out my (baby) tooth and I thought it was one of my permanent teeth and I literally screamed as loud as I could "HOLY SHIT" on my couch.

**** isn't as big of a deal in England as it is In the US.
