Cunt: a Wonderful Word for a Wonderful Thing

[flwyd]

A couple months ago I mused: Head, neck, chest, arm, leg, groin, butt, hand, foot, thigh, knee, shin, toe, brow, eye, nose, mouth, tongue, tooth, jaw, ear, hair, thumb, breast.
Body, finger, elbow, shoulder, eyebrow, forearm, forehead, belly, penis.
Vagina.
No wonder "vagina" sounds so awkward: it's the only trisyllablic word for a major

I like the word "cunt" rather than vagina. It seems to bother most people, though, so I don't actually use the word or get to hear it used descriptively very often.

"Cock" is a pretty good word for the primary male genitalia, aside from the fact that it also means rooster, which gets kind of weird.
