As far as guys, I don't normally hear it used much within the confines of the male gender. But because we know its effects, it's our trump insult reserved for women who go above and beyond the pissed-you-off scenario.

Hmm, i dont think theres much of a difference.

Maybe we do use it more frequently or more casually but the stigma is still the same. One of my mates uses it a lot and his girlfriend shouts at him for it every single time.

Actually I was going to make a social commentary about how product branding and marketing has shaped the reality of the developed world...

But...

now I'm wondering what that joke is. Banana Republic.

well a vacuum being an area devoid of any air or medium through which sound can travel, means if we threw you all in a vacuum, we wouldn't have to hear you all refuse to shut the hell up :P
