Whenst working on Landrovers, specially the springs on the front linings the C word does help the job but when I am really bugged I might let out the U useless piece of pommy made ****ing dog poo only a pom would put a bolt here. If somethings no good its deemed cactus delecti, if I throw a spanner the kids know to beat it quickly, coz I might let out the old you useless ****ing barstard off a son of a motherless goat, followed by a swift kick. The C word is still best said when there is no girls about they really dont like it

You know we built them like that just to p1ss you off, right? And you still bought them...

Well its quite obvious why girls don't like the c-bomb... If you were to say "you're a c***", or "she is a right c***", then you're implying that the said female has absolutely no worth whatsoever excluding sex. Similar to the male objection to the word "tosser", which no man, married or unmarried, old or young, frustrated or not can deny, yet it carries offense as it undermines the perceived concept of what it is to be "man"...

Yep! The C bomb is one of my favourites.



And I don't mean Crikey.

The C bomb was my top fix everything word untill about 6yrs ago when SWMBO put a stop to all that.

I have seen her smack people she doesn't know across the back of the head with NO hesitation.

I dropped the C bomb in front of my 3 year old once and i wore a back hander up the ear .... so i dont use many words while the boy is in the shed

Hi there

I find I only use language like this when there's is some one around to hear.
