Not precisely true, that.

There was this Hindi guy who worked at Diamond Cab, and we did *not* get on well cause he either figured out what my general beliefs were or somebody told him (I figure the latter just to grind his gears, he was a bit of a jerk) - and he threw something of a hissy and confronted me about it.

I told him it was none of his damned business, but since he cared so much, YES, that was true and invited him to make something of it.

Ever since he's referred to me as "That F**king Mongoose", but since he wouldn't come near me after that, it ain't like I cared - but he most certainly meant it in a derogatory fashion.

Cabbies are pretty used to being insulted though, was kinda funny that the main beef of the two arabic guys I worked with was that americans weren't inventive *enough* when slinging racist or nationalist insults at them.

Words and music by Freddie Mercury
You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You've taken all my money
And you want more
Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
With your narrow minded cronies
Who are fools of the first division
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart of your own
Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
You're just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?
(I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good feel good?
You talk like a big business tycoon
You're just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You're just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You're the king of the 'sleaze'
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal? (Shark)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own
(Right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good I feel good

If you don't mind me asking, what general belief of yours did he take exception too?

Because calling someone a cunt as an insult means that one finds cunts to be bad, and thus people who have cunts are implied as being less than those who have dicks. Does that solve the mystery for you?

Here's one I don't get: Dog, Bitch, Fox, Vixen.

Think, four canines all with very different connotations when applied to a female. A man is usually a pig, there were times when he might have been a dog, or even a cat.

No one ever calls you a mongoose.

No, not so much. I've just noticed that, even among women, the C word elicits a strong negative reaction. " I just HATE that word" is what one friend of mine said, and I could tell she meant it. Of all the words, this one just sounds vulgar. I can't explain better than that.

Also, just the sound of "cunt" is very powerful - one syllable, hard "c," sharp "t."

I rarely hear the C word.

And as for the British having less of a problem with it, I'm a bit perplexed. In Lily Allen's "explicit" album "Alight, Still", the song Friday Night, the C word is censored, though words like 'fucking' aren't. I dunno if that's an American thing, edited through I-Tunes , or what, but I find it odd that 'fucking' would be fine, and 'cunt' not. I don't know if a completely unedited version is sold in the UK or not, but it's curious that there's any censoring on an explicit labled album.

Still not buying the onomatopoeic insult idea, but editing for space, always good.

Yeah. I think the frequency is an issue to, like rat bastard by itself is probably less insulting than motherf^&ker, but carries more impact because it's less common.

Several bands have had fun with the potential Spoonerism of the title Cunning Stunts on albums(Caravan, Cow) and videos(Metallica).

I can still remember hearing a female DJ on WREK, the Georgia Tech student station, saying "That was 'Lover' by Caravan, off their Stunning Cunts album.", followed by a minute of dead air.
