For a country which throws around the c-word like it's going out of fashion,watching wife sex videos Australians won't be able to hear it said in the critically-acclaimed Lady Bird.
Greta Gerwig's Oscar-nominated film has been cut by Universal Pictures to satisfy an M rating in the country, replacing the word "c**t" with "cooze" and removing some explicit nudity, as noted first by Facebook page Media Censorship in Australia.

As noted by Filmink, who contacted the Australian Classification Board for clarification, Lady Birdwas initially rated MA 15+ on Jan. 23, which means that it can only be seen by people above the age of 15, or those under with a parent or guardian.
The Board told the magazine that a scene involving pornographic magazine Playgirl was the reason for the higher rating.
A modified version of the film with a tweaked version of that scene was resubmitted, and on Jan. 30 it was given an M rating, a lighter, advisory classification that legally allows those under the age of 15 to watch it.
A spokesperson for the Board stressed to the magazine that it "does not ‘cut’ or modify films. The production company or distributor of a film may decide to make a modification to a film and re-submit it for classification in order to obtain a particular rating and consumer advice."
Given the film's immense hype, it might simply be a case of ensuring more people see it via a lighter rating.
Mashable has contacted Universal Pictures for comment.
