Cate Drops F-Bomb At Oscars

[icyfroth]

Never have more passionate words fallen from the lips of one of our greatest Aussie thespians.

Yes, this is going to be a contentious statement, but, we've got to admit, if anyone is going to know the best time to drop an F-bomb for emphasis, that person would be Cate Blanchett.

The Aussie darling, fresh from winning the Best Actress Oscar for her role in 'Blue Jasmine,' was being corralled into a Q and A in the press room following her big win.

Fielding questions from journalists, one Aussie reporter had a poignant question for Our Cate.

"You are the first Australian actor or actress ever to win two Oscars…" the journalist began, before Cate jumped in, quipping: "And don't you f**king forget it!"

I wish ppl wouldn't think themselves terribly avant-garde by dropping the f-bomb. It's uncouth and totally spoiled Cate's glamour for me.

For **bleep**s sake .

Cate used the F word OMG! Call the Queen!

Cate didn't call anyone a **bleep** er or a **bleep** wit or a **bleep** head. She didn't insult anyone. 

Using the F word as an emphasis is hardly **bleep**ing newsworthy.

Call the Queen?

Why? What's the Queen going to do?

I'd guess that the reporters who reported the story have used the same word more than once.

The Queen (with a frown on her face) will say 'We are not amused'.

The word is never used amongst family and friends so I am not used to hearing it regularly at home but on the bus, walking around the shopping centres and so on the use of the f word never ending.

However put a sewing machine in front of me then give me some slipperly material and you will hear a never ending stream of f words until I have sewn the last stitch (and I get really loud if I prick my finger or cut a great hole in the item I am sewing).

It's not about saying it, Freaks, it's about saying it when it's inappropriate.

Sheesh...mixed company means a mix of young and old, male and female

No, it doesn't.

Mixed company is: "A gathering of people consisting of members of both sexes", age is irrelevant and not part of the accepted definition. 

---

Yeah well I don't think that's enough, I think it should be young and old as well.

[cherry*135]

Mixed company has always meant both genders are present. Never old or young.

After a long night celebrating it's not so inappropriate.

It was a light hearted comment. I doubt anyone was offended by it.

Meanings change. The gendered meaning has no place in this century.

MMmm, is it ageist to watch our language in front of the over 90s?
