 The Oxford English Dictionary Now Includes All The Worst Swear Words

The Oxford English Dictionary Now Includes All The Worst Swear Words

S-asterix-asterix-T!

I fucking love swearing, and so does every other prick out there - including, it seems, the Oxford English Dictionary.

This week it updated the dictionary's pages with over 900 entries and subentries - most of which were perfectly normal words that had been previously overlooked.

Of the words they've added, notable ones were the swear words cunty, cuntish, cunted and cunting.

When I've seen this reported elsewhere they've used asterixes so the words read as: c*nty, c*ntish, c*nted and c*nting. But seeing as though you're all grown adults I'm going to intrude on your safe spaces and assume you can deal with it.

Speaking of words added to the dictionary, they've also added the word 'bestie' to the dictionary!

Which gives me a chance to let you work out the meaning of these new OED-endorsed swear words in the context of a sentence...

I think it's pretty cuntish that the cunting employees at Oxford English Dictionary have added cunty words like 'bestie' to the dictionary, because grown adults using words like that is a good example of how the English language is increasingly cunted.

According to OED, 'cunty' is a way of describing something that is 'objectionable or unpleasant,' whereas 'cuntish' is for describing a person or behaviour that is objectionable and unpleasant.

'Cunted', on the other hand, is a word for 'under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and finally, 'cunting' is an intensifier to be used like 'fucking' is.

Did you work out the right meaning, lads?

Let me know if you did in a comment below and if you're lucky I'll give you an 'Internet gold star'!
