Circumstances prevent me from celebrating properly, but at the appropriate time today I will be having a beer.
Heās the hero this city needs right now, but not the one it deserves.

I guess marijuana needs to be legalized so that long term studies can be done before we can say with certainty that it kills no cunt. Iām pretty sure we can say that people with alcohol and tobacco addictions are probably worse off that people who smoke too much weed though.
Heās like the catcall guy, except weed.
Well, except his weed smoking doesnāt attack women.
I suppose heās calling men cunts too. That should make everybody feel much better.
Itās English slang and it is what it is. You call out bros for using ādoucheā too?
What Americans fail to understand about British English and Australian English is that the word ācuntā, meaning a vexatious person, is a homonym for the word meaning ladyparts. Just like ācockā means both a dick and a gentlemanās penis.
And thereās a subset of the populace for whom the term ācuntā is just about the most acceptable gender-neutral pronoun.
this is not about reason. this has been about cultural control.
Jelly! And I must refer you to my appropriate user pic.
The word cunt is relatively benign to a large portion of the Australian population. It certainly barely refers to a ladies parts anymore. Amongst a large portion of people I know ācome 'ere cuntā can mean anything from āApproach me person I barely know, but intensely dislike, I would like to fight youā to āOld friend of mine, join me so we can chat about the current state of affairs while consuming these delicious fermented yeast drinksā. Itās all in the context and tone.
Also Iād like to further clarify on Xeniās post and this video, it is illegal to smoke marijuana anywhere in Australia, public or not; however some states have decriminalised minor infringements. Medical marijuana trials are also about to take place in the three east coast states (but not the east coast territory). The guy that got arrested certainly made a valid point that I agree with, but his girlfriendās claim that the police had no legal right to arrest him was about 100% incorrect.
Seems a fairly restrained and measured response to the situation using language that is perfectly acceptable, and not offensive, to a very large section of the Australian population. I dare say he personifies a typical Australian reckless cunt ( a reckless cunt is nether reckless or a female body part).
Pretty sure this guy was putting on an act for the cameras, doing the ājunkie drawlā, hence the exaggerated use of expletives. The things that tipped it for me were: A) no junkie owns an umbrella, and B) when he slips in āHi Shaneā under his breath.
Also C) He clearly states āitās all an actā.
You realize that we use the word in America, right? It is just that here it is considered that calling a woman by that word, for example, will get you taken outside and beaten half to death by all of her friends (or her).
In Australia cunt can be thought of as interchangeable with dude. Conversation I always remember having was: āHow was the surf?ā āIt was fucken great I was the only cunt out thereā - Also gets used to refer to unfortunate people as in: āPoor cunt lost both his legs in a motorcycle accidentā. Neither is meant as derogatory. Female colleague of mine likes to leave work with a āFuck you all, youāre all a bunch of cuntsā with smile on her face. All that said if you utter it with enough venom it can be about the worst insult you can give someone, and I wouldnāt use it unless I was sure of my company. I donāt think it carries quite the taboo it does in the United States though.

The word most used for remonstrance here is āmateā, especially when repeated.
āMate. Ma-a-ate.ā
