Oh, You Silly Elbow!

Ya know, it's too bad about the word cunt.

It's one of my faves.  And people seem to flip their shit if you say it.  Very oddly, I grew up with it in its proper context as a pleasant, somewhat naughty term for an A #1 body part.  It was a long time before I realized people used it as a derogatory term.

Well, there are those of us who have used it, and continue to use it, when referring to that "A #1 body part"; hell, I knew of the appropriate use long before I heard it used as an insult, which is probably why I don't mind it nearly as much as some people.

....and I am mildly amused by the fact that you're being coy by using "A #1 body part" rather than the more usual name for, errr, you know, down there, when you're commenting on, y'know, that word.

What, my vulva?

Or your vagina, yup. I'm not sure the people I know who use "cunt" in its strictly anatomical usage make a distinction as to which it refers to. Or if they have, they haven't told me.

Judging from my watching of British movies it's used a bit more often over there.

all RIGHT.

Cunt is one of my favorite words. It is excellent.

I can't say cunt and not smile.
