I'm not sure if this word is allowed or not, but due to its definition I thought to make sure with the Mods about it as I read a post using it:

What's the problem? Other than Gregory Campbell being, as you say, an utter cunt. Him and the rest of the DUP, for that matter.

I guess some people would then want Ulster Scots on signs, too, but no. Just no. It's a dialect not a language, for a start, and nobody actually gives a shit about Ulster Scots other than John Laird and the cultchies that have that show on Radio Ulster on a Wednesday evening that gets in the way when you're flicking through stations in the car. Although I suppose it's better than endless country music on Downtown. edit: or, oh god, U105.

Isn't this a derogatory term?

If you search General for the word "cunt" you find 3240 matches (and across all forums you get 6881).

Interesting, also, that you picked that post when the OP in that thread contains that word twice.

In some countries, it's the worst possible slur. In others, it's at about the same level as "damn" or "bastard". Obviously we'll consider it on a case by case basis, but if it's not used to excess or as a pejorative towards other players, it's usually all right.
