man + dog die trapped in a Corvette

Eldritch

is insensitive
Sad
Seen a few older 90's bmw with smashed windows because someone panicked after getting locked inside by the person who left with key fob

I mean, Bloody Hell, even if the dude was in his 70's, it says he had some kind of tools he tried to pry the door with. Even if only a screwdriver, he should have been able to smash the drivers side window out.

really awkward and uncomfortable non-funny word that shouldn't be used in polite society... or impolite society... or even BARF society...

:wow

Here's the thing. I haven't seen the thread that this is supposed to be in reference to.
It's a helluva thing to open up a thread, and get slapped upside the head with that.
I'm sure you were going for humor... but to women, that's just not funny.
Just my :2cents ... IMHO, YMMV, FWIW... ;)

I think its incredibly useful word. it's not gender specific in my mind.
It actually offends people.
Used correctly I find that wonderful.
Fuck doesn't express the level of scorn I can have for some people.
this is not a women's issue.

I use it when I want someone to visibly cringe.
it's really best out loud too.

Fuck off
Meh, cunt has lost its oomph of late. It's as commonly used by women as men and as much as Fuck. It hardly offends most these days. I hear it daily in all facets of my life. :dunno YMMV

The pretty thing told me a couple weeks ago she's gonna bring back the C word.

I've been rolling with 'twat' lately. Adds flair to the conversation.

Sad he died, but he did so because of ignorance. The car does in fact have manual door latches. They are located on the floor near the base of the seat.

Not the first time I've heard about this. Not uncommon to have some guy posting to the Corvette Forum from his phone, 'locked' in their car in the garage.

Well, that's obvious, isn't it?

I've been stymied by gas cover latches in borrowed cars before. Nothing like needing to Google "how to put fucking gas in a xxxxx" while sitting at the pump. :laughing

Could be a design flaw.

Engineers designed a manual latch, but driver could not find it.

I think differently... so do many women I know. They would take great offense.
Not all are progressive nor accept that it is not gender specific.

I am glad you find it useful. I won't use it.

Hell I have used much softer words and been ridiculed for it.

It is so easy to type :jaded or as Connie suggested other choice words.

We are not all from the same generation or come from the same background to be accepting of potentially offensive terminology.

Useful idiot
The horse is likely almost dead, but I am firmly in the camp that thinks that "cunt" is one of the most tasteless descriptors in our language. When I see someone use it I tend to dismiss the user as ignorant, stupid, and crass. There are so many more interesting ways to describe folks. Use your imaginations, folks. :laughing

Aww...poor grandpa and puppy. They seem like a couple of sweethearts. There's lot of other people to make fun of. Yeah, so it was a dumb mistake. I know I've done stuff on par with this or worse and have just been lucky not to make the papers with it. He was just having a bad day and it cost him his life. This guy and his dog didn't do anything to you guys to deserve to die like that or to be ridiculed as a result. Jesus...he's a veteran. Show a little respect.

It's a word. Nothing but a word. Use it when appropriate. Have the courtesy to avoid saying when it isn't. Like every other word, it can be used in a sentence. As part of a paragraph. To convey a thought or intent. Its intent is what one should worry about. Nothing but a word.

Reminds me of Frank Zappa's (similar) opinion:
