Why is everyone suddenly using the C-word? | Stan Carey
From viral videos about Tommy Robinson to Game of Thrones, there are signs the taboo is lessening – for some
A journalist from Canada recently shared a video on Twitter in which she asked people in Manchester their opinion of Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon). Two young people – one male, one female – replied immediately with the word “cunt”. The journalist was taken aback, and the video quickly racked up retweets and comments. So what’s going on here? Is the status of this notorious word changing?
Swearing is power language, a parallel remain popular (jeepers, cripes, gosh).
