"Real friends insult each other" Agree or disagree?

[reixun]

Do you insult your friends?

Tis true 😛

Tisn't true, tis false 🙂

Wtf "tisn't" is NOT a word 😑

[ak666]

With most of my friends, no. It isn't such a common cultural thing to teasingly insult each other so much in this way in Japan.

I do have one British friend though and I really like him. He tends to call me "wanker" a lot so I studied the slang and started to respond by calling him a "twat". It's weird because he was okay with me calling him a "twat" but one time I called him a "cunt" and he was like, "Bloody hell, that really crossed the line." What's the difference between twat and cunt?

Anyway, I really like this custom of insulting each other but it's not so common here so I went with "no" for the most part.

[ak666]

He has also called me "tosser" and "knob" in addition to "wanker". His insult vocabulary is much bigger than mine so I just go with "twat" mostly.

[Sami365]

You are from Japan?

And to answer your question, twat and cunt mean the same, but cunt is considered to be a harsher word for some reason.

[ak666]

@Sami365 Yes, originally from Shizuoka, though mixed White/Japanese. I've gotten pretty decent at English and it has actually become my dominant language (I now think mostly in English) from spending time in the U. S. and Singapore, but I was really antisocial in high school and university and didn't get the hang of this insult custom at the time.

[ak666]

@Sami365 There was a time when I first came to the U. S. where I really misunderstood it. I didn't realize it was teasing so when someone called me like a "faggot", I responded, "But I really like girls! I am not homosexual!" Then they found my responses funny since I was oblivious to how this all worked.

About "cunt" and "twat", that's very good to know! It's very confusing though to me. I mostly pick this up from watching films and it didn't seem like one was worse than the other in those cases.

[Sami365]

Oh I see! And if you have any other questions, feel free to ask :)

I guess. I mean I have friends and we use offensive racist words towards each other all the time. Some times I'll call my black friends words like darkie or chocolate people, they'll call me donkey fucker or taco n** or I'll call my jewish friend a pile of ashes and mock my indian friends with an accent, and they will mock me with a Spanish accent.

And hey what's up, it's been a while

[caligirl03]

There's a fundamental difference between playful poking fun at someone and constantly bombarding them with overt insults thinly veiled as "jokes". The former is a sign of friendship, the latter is a sign of passive aggressive asshole. You get to decide where that line is.

[Maryy94]

Yea this is soooo true as long as it's not about a serious subj and it's not thaaaat much offensive. for example I know my best friend's mom passed away and if i call her Mothaf**Ka she will chop my head off! literally.
but yea i do call her dumbass or b**ch...

[Paris13]

Many Online and Off lately, due to the Politically Incorrect Way of Life is Now... Strife.
What does this Say for this Society, including Friends that are Not to the Ends? xx

[EmpatheticLady]

If I pick on you, then that's a good sign. It means I know you won't get offended and am comfortable to be myself around you, haha. I'd definitey agree with that statement.

[EmpatheticLady]

definitely*

[coolbreeze]

Everybody gets mad at their friend's every once in a while. We are all human. And nobody is perfect.

[capturemyheartnow]

It s false. I have gt real friends whom I have chosen based on their behavior patterns. They never insult me and I never insult them. A few good friends who acted rude , I have deleted them fro the friend circle. I cannot tolerate insults in friendships.

[wolfie12]

I'd never insult my friend. Not as in a way to "punch where it hurts". There is joking around and "insulting" but only on topics that you knpw he will be comfortable on. Would never pull "well, you're dumb and that's why she cheated on you" kind of insult.

[Kurgiflurgen]

Yes never pour salt in the wound type thing...

[Anonymous]

Yeah we use to find pictures of really ugly things on the internet and say "looks like you"

[reixun]

Lmfaooooo same

[sodababe]

Aha so true like if I tease you, it means I like you

Though there are definitely boundaries to how far you take it and whether you're really insulting or just teasing

[ToruMatsuda]

But you make fun of me and you don't like me?

[sodababe]

But you're an exception cause you tried to get me kicked out of KRU!

[ToruMatsuda]

You were a new recruit we had suspicions

[sodababe]

But you were the traitor and you tried to feed me to the KRU

[ToruMatsuda]

No only I do the eating in the kru. I'm telling you it was all a test. I never left the kru nor joined the kebabs

[sodababe]

I can't believe you until Rebel confirms, which he won't

[ToruMatsuda]

@therebelreturns yo you like my acting skills yo?

[TheRebelReturns]

@ToruMatsuda I pardoned Toru specifically because we needed every man in the field. Toru is now on our side.

[sodababe]

Was it all a ploy?

[ToruMatsuda]

Thank you commander
@sodababe see? I've gon up the ranks once more I went from grass clipping to a grunt, and now await to get back my prestigious title of lance corporal general ivvv

[notallthere98]

If I'm really polite to you and never tease you it means I either don't know you that well, or I don't like you

[RJGraveyTrain]

No bond is stronger than the bond between two people who can call each other fat cunts and follow it with laughs and love.

[bluevega]

To a certain extent!!! But yeah... you gotta be able to fuck around and laugh at yourself and each other

[dipta]

Real friends do not insult each other, not after they're 25 yo anyway.
Even with siblings. Teasing, okay, insulting, no.

[Izzex3]

I insult my friends all the time, but on a joking level.
Make sure you don't hurt their feelings.
They're friends you can joke with and some you can't.

[TinyCactus]

My best friends and I make fun of each other. But we never joke about things that we know will actually hurt each other.

[Waffles731]

if you'd ever seen a conservation between me and my best friend, you'd know they we throw the occasional friendly sarcastic jab at each other, you'd also know we only do this because we are such good friends

[RealandGenuine]

if all they do is insult you, they aren't your friends

[FroggyDoggy96]

A true friend may not necessarily insult you, but they may tease you. That's something that a non-friend can't really do at the drop of a dime.

[NikolasGLT]

I sarcastically insult my friends, if they have no sense of humor, I wouldn't even bother them.

[TheLuckyPizzaDog]

I insult everyone.
That means everyone is my friend. :D

[Kurgiflurgen]

Yeah sure, but more often than not you should actually respect each other...

[Lilier]

You obviously don't get more ass than a toilet seat

[AdviceGiver123]

Depends, if its just a playful conversation then sure.

[Sami365]

It depends. If the whole tone of the conversation is just joking then yes.
