CALLED MY BOSS A C*NT....
Not a very bright thing to do at all but let me explain the circumstance in which it occurred.

I was 19 and had been at my current job for about a year when my work colleague, Sarah, asked me to call our boss Paul in London about something work related and also to tell him he was a bastard.

It’s pretty laid back at our gaff and we often have a bit of banter going on so this seemed quite normal.

I couldn’t quite bring myself to call Paul a bastard as Sarah had asked so I tried to think of a `lesser’ swearword to use.

Now, my Dad is a chronic swearer and would often call us little shits or little cunts when we were growing up (charming I know!) so I came to consider the word cunt to be as offensive as saying shit (which isn’t a bad word at all really).

I now realise that that is definitely not the case!

I duly told my Paul that Sarah said to tell him he was a cunt and was shocked when he gasped and was totally stunned.

Paul was so shocked that he called my big boss and I was called to her office and was asked why on earth I had used that word to a senior member of staff.

I explained my reasoning and was then told the true meaning of the word. Luckily they saw the funny side and let it slide. I think they were more bemused than anything.

AY DEAR!!

CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT
I always find it very odd when people get offended at the word, and it's always very offended.

You sort of have to apologise - "oh, sorry, I didn't realise you were one of those people"
