And Good Morning.
It’s fine to just must or block if you don’t like it
Just wait until you've been accused of "cussing". 😁
Hell, that's not even a real word. Fair fucking dinkum.
But youse Seppos (generally) seem to use it with gay abandon whenever a bloody blue breaks out and someone says "damn".

I created this meme to convey to non-Strayans how *context is king* when it comes to how we use words like "cunt"

In other Anglophone countries swearing was just considered crude. Where in the US it is both crude and ungodly.
It's truly exhausting

Someone locks their keys in the house . . . stupid cunt
Someone wins lotto . . . rrrr you lucky cunt!
Noisey group . . . will you cunts shut the fuck up!
Seeing someone for the first time in years . . .how yer going you old cunt
