@fritzoids Some questions lent context, but it was more about physically when and where the word was used, rather than its different senses, as far as I can tell.

@bobthomson70 Ha. Scottish attitudes do seem to be tugging the general degree of offensiveness down

@stancarey I should have this on copy / paste as I say it so much, but my go to personal anecdote for how swearing works in Glasgow is that I once overheard someone talking about another to their pal, “Aye, that cunt’s a prick”.

@stancarey Boosting strictly for "Fatherfucker", which I've theorized existed as a swear but never considered to be perceived as offensive.

@RowinSpeez It's not common, but it has some currency. Sheidlower's "The F-Word" (a dictionary of "fuck") dates it to 1963
