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.

The meaning of mixed company has NEVER changed though, that is the point.  It has been around for a very long time and means the same today as it did originally.

Yet freaki needed to have it explained to her

As freaki said that saying probably has no place in today's world, young people wouldn't say it.. so the original meaning will stick.

Oh freaki's so young that's why she didn't understand it?

Right...

Meanings change all the time.  There is no place in this century for the context of gender based differentiation in language.  It's as outdated as the concept of women needing the permission of her husband to drive.

... and because most people don't use that expression (especially young people) anymore, the original meaning of it is never going to evolve into something else.

There is a time and a place for each and every word.

I bet the guy who kicked Lara used the F Bomb when Sam smacked him up the kisser.

I was listenig to a lawyer on the radio a few days ago who had seen video footage and it seems Lara is telling porkies.

As far as the F word goes, good on her! It was funny and not said at the awards.
