today we're in the Blue Mountains

0:08

Australia and we're asking the

0:10

Australians about one of my favorite

0:13

words it's a very naughty word begins

0:16

with C and it contains four letters

0:18

there's a word that you really can't use

0:21

in England okay in England it's very

0:23

very very bad word would you slap

0:25

someone who used it how do you feel

0:28

about the C bomb I want to find out if

0:35

your strains use it as much as they say

0:37

they do and what connotations it has is

0:40

it always negative like it is in Britain

0:43

or is it is it neutral can it be used in

0:46

positive ways as well as negative you're

0:48

watching real teachers Before we jump

0:56

into the interviews I just want to

0:58

mention really quick this video has

1:00

kindly been sponsored by a talkie itoki

1:03

1:05

can learn any language with a teacher on

1:07

1:46

let's go back to the video there's a

1:48

word that you really can't use in

1:50

England okay but we do sometimes multi

1:53

begins with a C it's a C bomb and I'm

1:56

asking Australians today how they feel

1:57

about it and where do they use it

2:00

interesting that you should say that

2:01

because I went to a training session

2:03

last night and the female presenter

2:07

asked this guy how do you feel when you

2:10

drop your kids at daycare right and he's

2:13

answer was I feel like a [ __ ] oh my god

2:16

a bit

2:18

a little bit out there and all the other

2:21

guys are sort of thinking well that was

2:23

pretty out there and my lady the actual

2:26

facilitate actually mentioned something

2:28

so you guys look I'd prefer you don't

2:30

use that word being a female you know

2:34

yeah knowing the way out because he sort

2:37

of got told yeah

2:39

and then after after the facilitation

2:41

session I sort of went up to him I said

2:43

you must have felt like real [ __ ] just

2:44

saying that how do you feel about the C

2:48

bomb the real C bomb the real what about

3:08

it when your dad's not there no no you

3:13

guys no not really

3:14

yeah I'd say it's sort of you know when

3:18

you're with the boys type D know and

3:20

your girlfriend sold around sometimes

3:21

just sort of you know you're a bit more

3:23

loose of what you say and then you say

3:26

to your mates and stuff how do you guys

3:28

feel about the C bomb I love it you can

3:36

say that and it's not offensive I think

3:37

it's great yeah so you can say any non

3:41

offensive absolutely yeah how do I do

3:43

that so you could be like a funny if

3:46

you're a funny you're hilarious sure if

3:48

you're a mad you're a really cool guy

3:50

but also it works you could be a dump

3:53

you're really [ __ ] I'm interested by

3:57

mad but if you're mad and when you're

4:08

saying it's your mates are you meaning

4:10

that they are horrible people or nice

4:12

people or what do you mean I think it's

4:15

a case of if you're mean to them they're

4:17

you'd like them type of deal so it shows

4:21

it comfortable yeah in their company so

4:23

you sort of I don't know

4:24

yeah bit of banter bit of banter okay

4:27

what do you think of the

4:29

the swear word that the C bomb no it's

4:34

not no definitely no to that

4:37

yeah would you slap someone who used it

4:42

if you would say it on your grandmother

4:52

oh really

4:54

yeah okay but you you refrain from using

4:57

it yeah because you know that's not it's

5:01

just bad to say I don't like saying it

5:03

does it feel it feels bad you say yeah

5:05

and how would you put it in a sentence

5:09

do you want me to say it yeah like if

5:14

someone's making a joke at you or if

5:16

they've made a good joke or something go

5:18

ah Mei you're a real funny one other guy

5:24

said you can be a funny yeah you can be

5:26

anything any adjectives it's very

5:31

flexible it can be used as a bad way as

5:36

well I think if you probably use the

5:38

word on its own it's probably more of

5:40

yeah it's a bad word yeah

5:41

for example I've my mum I've said

5:43

someone oh this person's are real that

5:45

and then I've gone but she's also a real

5:47

[ __ ] as well my mom's gone you can't

5:49

say [ __ ] don't say that

5:51

see bomb totally totally yes mum's okay

5:56

with you oh yeah totally

5:58

if you say [ __ ] now house shoes do not

5:59

say that what about your grandmother yes

6:04

she's fine with it as well I I'm in one

6:06
