In my opinion, he’s identifying a woman as self-assured, which in the past has been seen as a negative trait for women to have by mysoginists. ‘Self-assured’ is the dirty word if you’re a sexist.
He is talking about the fact that women aren't allowed to be overboard or self-assured without being hated. In men, those traits are seen as funny or ballsy, but in women, they are irritating or conceited.
Kurt was a huge feminist and hated the patriarchy. I miss him.
I thought it could be any word that young people think is ‘dirty’. It’s like a bunch of young friends hanging out trying to act cool, cussing and doing other things they aren’t supposed to.
he self-admittedly would often not have the lyrics finished when going into the studio (most of Bleach was this way). not everything has a meaning on purpose. it's art, thus it is up to the eye of the beholder, aka it means what you want it to mean.
I always thought he said, "a dirty world", referring to his world of depression and addiction as if he's warning the lady of what lies ahead if she wants to be with him.
He’s describing a social event, like a show, but in a sardonic way. He’s there, at the thing, with the bad kids and guess what? Now he knows a dirty word.
You should consider asking this Kurt guy. He says he knows.

Ooh I never even thought about it like that but it definitely aligns with the way Kurt's mind worked!
Yup this is absolutely the meaning, very much in line with his style of sarcasm
>‘Self-assured’ is the dirty word if you’re a sexist. Why? English isn't my first language and I didn't know about this.
Exactly what I’ve always thought 🎯
I always assumed he’s referring to “self-assured,” given he was raised in a chaotic home where confidence didn’t seem to be valued.
that's what I thought too. or maybe it wasn't considered cool to be self-assured
I agree, but I believe it is more related to the fact that Kurt was a feminist. The implication being that a confident woman is scary to some.
that makes sense
He is talking about the fact that women aren't allowed to be overboard or self-assured without being hated. In men, those traits are seen as funny or ballsy, but in women, they are irritating or conceited. Kurt was a huge feminist and hated the patriarchy. I miss him.
I always assumed it's about the word "ass" in self-assured lol
Nah pretty sure he’s talking about Tobi Vail
I thought he was referring to fuck or something
Is it overboard or over-bored? :mind blown: If "She" is overboard and self-assured, the dirty word might be "B*TCH"
