The use of the C-word has sparked quite a debate this week.
The Workplace Relations Minister Brooke Van Velden dropped the C-bomb in the House yesterday - becoming the first MP ever to do so.
She said the word in protest over the slur being used against her and other female ministers in a column by The Post on pay equity.
Language expert and Associate Professor, Andreea Calude from Waikato University talks to Emile Donovan about the use of the C-word and the evolution of swearing.
