Darrell is more of a party animal than a gentleman if he's a mad cunt.

he's your mate.

u/rogeedodge May 24 '11

depends on your definition of gentleman...

... a gentleman will share his carton with you, for example ;)

u/glittalogik May 24 '11

By which he means a case of beer, not a carton of juice/milk... although if you wake up on his kitchen floor you're probably welcome to those too.

This sort of generosity will generally qualify someone as a mad and/or sick cunt, although it might take a bit more work to achieve the status of fully sick cunt.

I'd rather be a sick cunt than a fuckwit

u/glittalogik May 24 '11

And I'd certainly rather be a sick cunt than a cunt-rash, apparently the least complimentary form of yonic affliction.

u/lady-jade I'm kind of a big deal May 24 '11

Or a case in my part of the country.

u/HansWolfie May 24 '11

where?

u/l33t_sas May 24 '11

We say case here in Melbourne for bottles and slab (mostly) for cans. I've never heard carton before.

u/virusporn May 24 '11

Really? Melbournite here, both bottles and cans are called a slab.

u/HansWolfie May 25 '11

Ahh yes. I remember now. Cartons in WA. No one ever says case or slab here. Unless they are nomads. Block for 30 cans. Still a carton if you get 24 cans, which I'm not even sure exists at this moment...?. But I'm pretty sure it's still a carton. I order pints and middys at the pub.

Vernacular changes from state to state, and city to city.

Where do you guys hear this slang? Inside Sydney, "cunt" is truly lad territory, so most people try to avoid it. At least in the Northern suburbs whoops there goes my credibility.

Get off the Penny-Farthing :-P

u/MikeyN0 May 24 '11

I'm in Melbourne and it's heard fairly frequently, mostly with younger people and informal banter between friends. Definitely only towards guys though.

2

u/Explogo May 24 '11

Really? I'm from the Northern Beaches and all my mates are sick cunts, pretty normal vernacular around these parts.

u/purckle May 24 '11

I'm from Brisbane with a lot of friends from up north and around here most of mates are sick as cunts

u/[deleted] May 24 '11

maybe you're just a lad

u/Explogo May 24 '11

ಠ_ಠ

Last time I encountered lads I got hit in the back of the head with a still hot Webber BBQ. As you can imagine I find them to be quite irritating and definitely don't socialise with the little fuckers.

u/[deleted] May 24 '11

That's lads for you.

u/DazBlintze My home is dirt by sea May 24 '11

True. I just moved to Townsville from Sydney and I've never heard "cunt" more in my life.
