Is 'C' the new 'F' word? (language warning)

What happened to the time when 'shit' was the worst swear word, and 'crap' was only just allowed? When did 'bastard' make it to G rated television? When did Alf on Home & Away stop saying 'flamin' and replace it with 'bloody'? My personal transition to the world of swearing started at a relatively young age. I remember being in the playground at school at slipping the word 'crap' and then looking around in a panic to see if anyone heard. When I recieved no reaction, except maybe a little respect because I was hardcore, the swearing seed had been planted. After a few weeks of dropping the word 'crap' here and there, I moved onto 'shit', shit it was a good feeling! I felt so tough!! These were really the only naughty words I used for some time, and only in the company of the 'cool' crowd, as my friends (nurds) were quite disapproving. Then came highschool, and the word 'fuck'. That took sometime to leave my lips, and I felt a pang of guilt everytime I dropped it....but overtime, it's become part of my vocabulary. It's used in many a context, eg "For fucks sake!" at the car in front of me doing 60 in an 80 zone, "Fucking hilarious" to the funny tv show, "fuck it" for "I give up". So what made me right this little peice?? Well, I guess it was Adam's description of life in Moomba and the over used 'C' word. These are generally the rules:

• If someone is a "C", they are a pretty good guy
• but if someone is a 'Fucking C', then they are a shit
• "hey you bunch of "C's" could be phrased "Gday mates"

So you can see where I'm going....the C word I believe is becoming the new F word in society!! Soon shit will be moved to 7.3o times slots, fuck will be moved to 8.30 time slots, and the C word will be the AO movies at 10.00!

Let's just hope the C word doesn't become the new 'fuck', it's such a cunt of a word.
