Of tutting

I don’t know about you, but I tend to tut. Tutting was part of my childhood. Do something bad, parents tut. Misbehave at school, teachers tut. Feel bored, I’d tut.
Sounds like my life was filled with tut … But it wasn’t all tuts!

Try tutting with Japanese friends or tutting in Japan. You’ll get a very strong negative reaction. Basically, it’s a very bad, offensive, angry sound in Japan.

For me it’s a natural, inoffensive sound. Make a mistake, I tut.

I find it very difficult not to tut. So not doing this one small sounds makes things difficult!

Do you ever tut? Is it so offensive?
