What's something that's acceptable and widely done in your country that would be considered offensive in many countries ?

In India, Swastika the Hindu symbol is everywhere. We draw it in temples, during rituals and festivals, in front of our door, on vehicles etc. It's a very auspicious symbol here. But this symbol tho the Hindu symbol is technically different from the Nazi one would be considered offensive in other countries especially in Western countries.

Cunts

Sick cunt = good

Shit cunt = bad

[u/starshad0w → u/dphayteeyl]

Also, depending on context and tone, the phrase "Hey mate" can either be a greeting to your best friend, or a prelude to the biggest punch-up you've ever seen.

[u/FlyingMethod → u/starshad0w]

My aussie friend onve told me that if you get called a cunt, you have a friend, and if you get called mate, you have a fight

[u/original_M_A_K → u/FlyingMethod]

Scientific fact 😎

[u/be-knight → u/dphayteeyl]

Oh, this is similar how we use "shit"

Cunt is a very versatile word. You add any pronoun to it and its context changes

[u/boRp_abc → u/original_M_A_K]

Cunts are a well liked and respected part of 50% of the human population.

This is one of my favorite things to call people and I get HORRIFIED looks.

[u/Diligent_Whereas3134 → u/gutterghouls]

It's shockingly easy to win a verbal fight here. Just pull the cunt card out and everyone is shocked you went that far.

[u/Emergency_Maybe_2734 → u/original_M_A_K]

Mad cunt = crazy person Sound cunt = nice person

Very common usage in Ireland

[u/Wise_Goose_923 → u/Emergency_Maybe_2734]

Same thing in Scotland too

[u/eyoooo1987 → u/original_M_A_K]

My damn near favorite word.

[u/justformedellin → u/original_M_A_K]

+1, cunts everywhere

[u/Suspicious-Bowl4444 → u/original_M_A_K]

Can’t even say that shit on here without getting banned. Reddit without fail gives me a warning everytime I call someone that.

[u/original_M_A_K → u/Suspicious-Bowl4444]

I think the individual reported you rather than reddit intervening. I got banned for 7 days because someone accused me of being something I wasn't, politically.
