..Do british people really say C U Next Tuesday that often or was it just a movie thing?

British users please provide insight.

See you in Toledo.

C U Next Tuesday is frowned upon, i'd say.
Its a big no-no. F word is funny, s**t is almost acceptable to say in front of the queen.
But C U Next Tuesday is horrible.
Londoners tend to use the c word the most, seeing as how a lot of them are aggressive lower class malcontents.
Note that for them its C A Next etc, due to their horrible accents.

  do her}

  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

All I know is Ben Kingsly makes my mouth sound like a saint in that movie hahaha. He played such a good role though.

I don't get it.

It's just swear evasion.

And for that matter

We say it all the time because it's funny.

Yeah I say it far too much, only when one of our memebers of staff from London started saying it all the time, so I have picked it up as well, plus more of our suppliers are based in london. Must try not to say it as much.

Vincent, this.


Language warning

I use it every so often.

It's only ever directed at someone... directly, though.

the big nasty men of Millwall Fc tend to use the phrase muggy C*** rather alot.

Muppets.

Was I not paying attention, or did this word pretty much only come into general usage in the last several years (In the US)? If so I give it about two or three more until it's as commonplace as f***. (Hey, that works both ways!)

It's the only word my mum gets offended by, unless one accidently calls her a *****.

Even so it doesn't stop me from using it as a handy insult when playing console games with friends.
