The "C" word
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: SKYHN
Earlier today I was out at a job site and some of the other wokers there had on Rush Limbaugh. Personally, I find him to be nothing more than a jackass. But anyways, he started to read a breaking story from I think the university of ohio or colorado, whichever one has the sexual harassment thing going on with the football team. The basic story is this girl was harassed by the team to some extent, they said sexual things to her and called her names which included the "C" word. For those of you that dont know what the "C" word is, the "C" word is ****. If you dont have a girlfriend/wife, the "C" word is the end all worst thing you can say to a woman(in most cases).
Anyways, the president of the school came out today, a woman, and said that the football team would not be punished because the "C" word is a, and Im not joking here, "Term of Endearment". If you dont know what a Term of Endearment is, its basically something you call a person out of friendship or love, like 'honey', 'sweetheart', 'buddy' etc. So obviously the "C" word is not a term of endearment.
A man called in from I think it was australia said that the "C" word down there is used in that way amongst friends, like when someone is a 'good guy'. So then Rush Limbaugh made a joke by asking this guy if it would have been ok for President Bush to call Hillary Clinton a "C" word yesterday at the presidential portrait unveiling.
Theres really no point to this thread, I just thought that was funny. People try and cover their asses in more and more rediculous ways today.

colorado article on the case
so what was rush's point? he doesn't seem to be the type to defend her, because of who she is(a liberal university president)....hmm. so what was rush's point.
btw i am not sure she should be fired she certainly should have taken responsibility for the university and agreed that **** is a awful derrogatory remark. the lawyer should have asked her to use it in a sentence, " Hey nice to see you ****" or Your looking great today ****." how about " My word its nice to see you ****."

If this is true, that c*** is a term of endearment...it would explain a lot, at least to me, when I attempt to understand to Rap or any other current contemporary music for that matter. My inner minority could feel it emotionally as poetry of the streets, of the "hood", of the disenfranchised. But what where these people saying inbetween all those "expletives deleted"? I thought it strange that musicians and singers would "put down" or put a negative slant on the very culture they were catering to.
All those derogatory lyrics put me off because I thought they degraded women, showed disrespect for the law, and encouraged people to be losers and be proud about it.
Now that I know, that certain words actually mean something else other than what they mean, well, this just makes the whole RAP poetry scene closer in my new appraisal to Walt Whitman rather than Ginsburg.
You just to have to love Academics. Who else would blame it all on misinterpretation of intent based on cultural bias?

it certainly can be used affectionately, and may have been, although its doubtful. anyway, as distasteful as some people find that word, its certainly not appropriate to punish students simply for using it towards a peer. punish them for sexual harrassment, yes. for using a 4 letter word? no. unless youre going to punish her as well for responding by calling them a ****tard or ********, which im sure she did at least once

ESPN justified it perfectly, "She was a crappy kicker anyway."

Sex=Money there is no way to get around a good raunchy/sexually inclined story
