a word has only the power you emotionally give it, so the fault doesn't lie with hiyer herif, it lies with you.. after all it is only a word. think about it... or maybe that's above your heads...

IMHO its a word that decent civilised people do not use in mixed company and on a public forum. I do realise it was only a joke, but in very poor taste.
I think you have to realise that some people are offended by profanities such as this, or maybe that's above your head!

i reckon that that word is one of the very few words left in the vocabulary of many which still has meaning!!! i hate that word and wen people use it around me i get really annoyed... i dont know its just one of those thing (btw this aint an attack on the dude or dudette who rote this joke^^) but i ges now words like F... and B..... are like everyday words.... I reckon thats abit sad...

I was more amused just by looking at the name "Hiyar Herif". In Turkish "Hiyar" means "Cucumber" and "Herif" means "Guy". It is a very rude way of addressing someone. So what can you expect from this "Hiyar Herif"?

I do not like obsenities but simple jokes like these make me smile, I see no harm as long as it is not overdone.

The C word is used in almost all British movies, it must have been used a dozen times in "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" alone.

There is nothing wrong with it. There are times when no other word can be used to have the desired effect.

Last time I used it was about 4 years ago to let the guy who has the last say in who can and cannot park in the yard at the back of our offices. His rudeness and unreasonable behaviour deserved nothing less than the C word. No other word would have described better.

In UK Vogue 2 months ago there was an indepth 3 page article on why women should embrace the C word and make it their own. Made for interesting reading! Personally I think that sometimes no other word can fit the bill.
Like calling a spade a spade!
It's certainly an emotive word to such an extent that this 4 letter word can provoke such strong reaction in people - interesting I think.

Correction...it was March Vogue. Am re-reading it now! What a fab article!
