Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

    I’m an American and I throw cunt out often enough. I’m from Jersey though and we curse a bunch, and I also was in the Marines, where we cursed a lot. It’s where I picked up the phrase cunt hair, as in the unit of measurement.

      Ah, Finnish army also has (or at least had) that unit of measurement, “pillukarva”, literally pussy hair.

        Is karva related to the Polish kurwa? I’m American and you guys are close to each other in my uneducated estimation, and so I feel like there’s gotta be something there right? And oldest profession is an old word.

        Merry Christmas, and thanks for the new word.
