**** Trigger Warning **** Contains Swearing

Two friends talking about a mutual pal.
Someone you can rely on.
Says, “Aye, that cunt’s sound.”

See two folk on the bus,
a few cans to the wind.
One shouts to the other,
“Why are you acting the cunt?”

Crowd trying to stop a couple arguing in the street.
“Aye well, she’s a fucking cunt!”
She nearly knocked him out
when she heard that,
calling him a “bastardfuckingcuntareshole.”

There’s a woman I know,
Hear her chatting,
every second word she says is cunt,
like a full stop,
or an exclamation mark.

But some others
don’t say the word.
They’ll just call you a:

C
U
Next
Tuesday.

In Scotland,
we are fluent in swearing.
You’ve just got to get
the fucking context.
