What I find very offensive is that "ass" is on this list. It's "arse". An "ass" is a donkey. https://t.co/o9uEY22gzV

Honestly, what I find the most offensive is the bloody asterisk. We all know what you mean, it's no less offensive, and it's just kinda weaselly. Either fucking say cunt proudly or choose a different word. https://t.co/7lZtUsbvDi

The poll we have all been waiting for. I feel the word "Git" has lost its place in society. Growing up, it was one of the favourites to be used by my elders. You hardly hear it these days. https://t.co/tQ6BK8W6P1
