[Scarlett17]

35. Only when I sing the song. . .

[realisticphish]

4. no

having sex with ones mother, i would imagine, is pretty bad in most cultures.

so, it's a general insult, not particularly sexist.

[flvegan]

6. It's all sexist.

Matter of fact "sexist" is sexist because one uses the term more often in regards to women. See?

[undeterred]

10. Its one of those words that makes me cringe

although I don't think people actually think about what they are saying. Oddly enough, its rarely said to women- its almost always said to or about men.

[Runcible Spoon]

26. I hear it used primarily as an adjective or simople expletive.

I rarely hear "motherfucker" as a noun.

More common usages: "You motherfucking asshole!". Me stubbing my toe: "Motherfucker!"

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. It's motherist.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Depends on the mother.

[Kat45]

13. Nope. It's one of my frequently used words.

And I abhor sexism.

[GoneOffShore]

14. IBTL -

MILF?

[HEyHEY]

15. I believe it's mainly seen as racist

[npk]

16. What about when people say "I'll motherfuck you up."

Is that sexist. I mean it sounds like they're saying people who mother fuck are fucked up, and that is just not right.

[billyoc]

17. Just get the fucking iced tea!

[MrSlayer]

18. My favorite response to being called a motherfucker is....

"Keep your mother off the street."

I'll be here all night.

[LeftyMom]

19. Sexist or no, if anybody says that around me, my mama will kick their ass.

:rofl:

22. No, it's classic

[Skittles]

23. as sexist as, "Son of a bitch".

[old mark]

24. "Other" It would be more effective as "Parentfucker" nt

[bluesbassman]

27. Too gentrified.

I can imagine the scene around the family dinner table: "Pater, would you please pass the parentfucking salt"? Or how about this: "Mater, be a love and pass sibling of a bitchen mashed potatoes".

Just don't quite roll of the tongue right, ya know? Really, that's what swearing is all about. The words need to slide on out to be useful. If you have to enunciate them, why bother?

[Chovexani]

30. Unclefucker.

If it's good enough for Terrance and Philip, it's good enough for me.

[old mark]

32. Bassman, I prefer "sheepfucker" in daily conversational usage,

just felt "parentfucker" to be more - inclusive. A big tent, ya' know?

Do you know Glenway McTeer?

28. Anyone ever see that scene in "Alice's Restaurant"

29. Mother rapers & father stabbers. Father rapers!

"there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it
up and said..........

33. Not really. It's a historical reference.

Read Oedipus Rex sometime. That Sophocles, what a crazy!

[Dogtown]

34. Incestuous insult

has nothing to do with the gender-traits of the recipient, merely his moral values.

Has become as vaguely indirect as "fuck" itself, having both positive and negative connotations.
