Since when was 'witch' an insult?

I've known (and fancied) a few witches.

I gave some money to a homeless chap, can't have been more than 20, in Bratislava... felt realyl sorry for him. He was just sitting there, at the edge of the street...

What a bad start to life.

excuse the redwine response but ...what you just said reminded me of the latest robbie williams story.
suing a magazine for acuusing him of being gay.

isn't he insulting gay people by taking such a stance?

surely it would have been better to say ...#i'm flattered but sorrythe answer is no?
surely being accused of being gay is no longer an insult?

But it's a good insult.

eg, "You mothers cunt"

Former Member

But how is a good insult? what is negative about a mother's cunt? be careful- you are talking to a mother with a cunt!

Former Member

it's funny! but generally people tend to find it one of the most offensive swear words. my ex used to occasionally say it and would apologise after saying he was sorry he hated that word..i'd be like not bothered .

I don't use it as an insult generally, but more a term of endearment. I'm proud of my cunt, why should the vagina be used used as an insult towards people? I only call my friends 'cunts'.

But calling somebody a 'witch' is like calling them a 'Jew'. Witchcraft and other Pagan paths exist as much as Judaism.

Former Member

yes that's true but as you see by my outcast styleeeee comment, the word witch was used becasue it rhymes with bitch as a swear word edit replacement rather than as a insulting term in itself.
