To Swear Or Not To Swear... That Is The Fucking Question!!

Did you know that the Irish people are one of the most swearing nation in the world. Fuck this, fuck that, shut the fuck up, shag the hell off and all that.

I remember one day I was walking down the street and there was a young woman behind me with a buggy and a kid in the buggy. The kid must have been around three years old. One thing you need to know about rural Ireland is that it is quite common to see women of young ages with kids.
Condom?
Nope.
Pill?
Nope.
Tissue?
Yes.
Like that is going to work...

Anyway, the girl behind me suddenly shout “Hey, How’s gone you cunt!!”. Yes, the C word. You heard right. And that was directed to another young girl across the road, apparently they were buddies. Well I can imagine what would have happened if they were enemies but I won’t.
But the best one is that they have also their own version of swear words...
Like this one:

This was made extremely popular in late 90s in the Channel 4 sitcom “Father Ted”. If you click here you will get a good idea of the use of that term.

Now, a well known Irish cider producer (I won’t name them, just give you a hint... The freakin’ cider is bright orange. Yep... No chemicals in it.) has decided to use that term on advertising posters across England.
The poster picture an apple grower saying “Feck off, bees!”.
As usual, some twats thought it was outrageous and decided to complain. Well, credit to the Brits, the advertising panel decided that it wasn’t a swearing word!! Nice.
Why don’t you ask the Irish?
