This CEO Loves The C Word

October 18, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Pop Bitch] The CEO of which highly respectable and nationally treasured FTSE 100 company was spotted at the football game in London recently giving hearty wanker signs at the away fans and shouting “COME ON THEN, YOU C*S” in full voice?

BG Note: Wanker signs = obscene gestures. The FTSE 100 (a.k.a. the “Footsie 100”) refers to the 100 largest companies on The London Stock Exchange.

    Everyone saying the C word isn’t offensive in the UK is either from the gutter or not from the UK. I’m married to an Australian (where it is part of relatively common parlance) and I still hate the word. I’ve never heard anyone use it in a professional setting and have barely heard it socially. We do swear and I’ll eff and blind as much as the next person but the C word is a whole other kettle of fish.

    Don’t know but whoever said it isn’t an offensive word in Uk isn’t from here. It’s highly offensive.

    Well I don’t know who all these people are saying it’s not offensive in the UK! If that’s what the US has been told, then you’re bloody wrong. Yes we like to swear & curse and are quite proud of our colourful language, but it’s still the most offensive word you can use in the UK, and hideous. A c* has not lost its power!

    As far who… it would for sure come out of Sir Alan (Sugar)’s gutter mouth, he probably is a bit of a one, maybe less so Branson, who’s just a Dick, born into higher…

    I’m pretty sure this is Alan Sugar. He’s a bit of a c*** himself

    Totally Musk style. It’s only a matter of time when his bubble breaks.

    And th C-word is bandied about quite regularly in the UK- it doesn’t have the same connotative nuances as it does in the US. And it is regularly used in reference to both men and women-

    Optional: Yes, very offensive

    I honestly don’t have a clue who this is but have to say that when I lived in Aberdeen during my doctorate years, I quickly got over my aversions to cursing. This word is constantly used by the locals. I told a friend who was traveling to the UK & who is easily offended NOT to try for ‘local flavor’ pubs – especially when she was visiting Scotland. She would be highly offended by the language used – even on the First Bus system there!
    And, no, it doesn’t bother me in the least. It’s just…

    October 18, 2018 at 5:39 pm

    Sounds like Richard Branson/ Virgin Group

    It’s a very ugly, vulgar word no matter how it is used, either privately and most especially in public.

    Don’t know who the CEO is, but yes, I find the “C” word offensive.

  14. thelasthigh says

    “c*nt” is not the same in UK as it is in America. It is not considered offensive, whereas in America it is highly offensive. Similarly, “f**k” is not a strong word in the UK like it is in America.

  15. amagod121 says

    October 18, 2018 at 4:19 pm

    No clue. Just came here to say that yes!!! I find the “c” word offensive! Our British cousins may not as it’s also used in another way as well but over here in America? Offensive as can be! Every bit as bad as the “N” word.

    I HATE the C-word, but for some reason it admittedly does sound less offensive to me when a Brit says it. *L*

    • amagod121 says

      October 19, 2018 at 8:57 am

      Perhaps because they mean it less offensively! Over here it has one meaning and useage, which is extremely offensive.

    Elon Musk.

    I learned on Reddit that the ‘c’ word in the UK is used quite often.

    I’m sure there are words used in North America that the Brits would find odd and uncomfortable.

  21. gingercat says

    October 18, 2018 at 12:42 pm

    No clue who this is, but a quick note about the word C*nt. Here is the U.S., it’s considered a HORRIBLE word. In the UK they use it the way we use the word A-hole here. It’s not something terrible over there!

    The c word in England is like saying damnit over here.

  25. NoYoureatowel says

    As a Londoner. This isn’t uncommon. Nor is it frowned upon.

    The ref is always a *.

  26. Parade says

    October 18, 2018 at 11:54 am

    So what, we’ve been using “d*ck/s”, “w*nker/s”, etc. to call out people for decades.

  27. Sharper_Teeth says

    October 18, 2018 at 11:51 am

    But that word isn’t as taboo over there. I like it.

  28. spoofbyrd says

    October 18, 2018 at 11:49 am

    Can’t think of anybody but Sir Richard Branson or David Beckham . C#*t is a common UK expression and is used by people over on those Islands to refer to women and men . It has become transgendered and almost evolved to the point where it is like the word ” sucks ” I remember when sucks first came around in the 60s and was considered vulgar but now is very mainstream generic . Old Fart, however, still remains and it refers to people like me who know this quaint stuff

    • Cheerbear says

      October 22, 2018 at 1:14 pm

      Dunno who this is, but the C word is still VERY offensive in the UK. It’s about the only word that is. You might get some groups of friends that use it amongst themselves but please Americans don’t be fooled into thinking you should use it casually when you visit, you won’t get a happy response

  29. HereGoHellCome says

    October 18, 2018 at 11:33 am

    Dunno who it is, but that word isn’t considered offensive at all in the UK. It’s the equivalent as calling someone a jerk.

    • aaasmee says

      October 19, 2018 at 1:02 pm

      Uh, no. That’s not true in the slightest.

    • aaaHils says

      October 20, 2018 at 4:54 am

      Really it isn’t!! Don’t go around the UK calling people that and hope to make friends! It is deeply offensive.

    • spookie says

      October 21, 2018 at 3:18 pm

      Sure, its thrown around a lot more as a descriptor, or even a word between friends here, but if you call a stranger the c-word, you’re getting a punch in the face.

    I guess from “nationally treasured” that it’s a bank, so I’ll go with Royal Bank of Scotland CEO Ross McEwan
