Jackie Collins uses the word a fair bit in her books; Its either 'He's a cunt', or 'She's a cunt'.

It sounds horrible out of some people's mouths. Some people just have the tone of voice to make it sound really offensive.


Hugh Grant, for example, couldn't make it sound awful.

LOL - In school we always said in our best Brittish accent "pardon me, could you speak a titty bit louder. I cunt hear you. I have an ear in-fuck-tion."

The English use the word like it's nothing. I used to work with a bunch of English guys and I had to get used to hearing that word pretty fast.

Sometimes, but I've been known to use it toward people (usually a nasty female) whom I absolutely despise. It's the vilest word of disrespect IMO, and when I use it, I'm pretty pissed.

Jane has poor impulse control.

I love the cunt word...My mum doesn't approve though

From 'cuniculus' come the words 'coney' and 'cunny' that were used in England from about the 1100's for - a rabbit and for the vulva. The New Shorter Oxford Dictionary tells us that coney was originally a term of endearment for a woman and that the pronunciation was as in 'honey', until the 19th century when it became coney as in 'phoney'. The dictionary proposed that the pronunciation may have changed because of its association with the female genitals.


'Cunte' was used as a slang word, but not a 'bad' word, in England up until the 1600's, but by the 1700's it had become an obscene word and it was illegal to print it. In a dictionary of 1785 compiled by one Frances Grose it was euphemistically called the 'monosyllable' and printed as 'c__t'. Grose's definition - "a nasty word for a nasty thing". Obviously this is the mind-set from which our current usage of 'cunt' comes.

I call chicks that when I don't like them. Calling a chick a bitch has become ineffective Now calling a chick a cunt serves a dual purpose. One, it shocks them into stunned silence. Second, it gives you time to run the fuck away during their stunned silence, because you know when they recovered, they'll want to kick your ass.

I love the word cunt. I call my pals "cunt cakes" when they are irritating me. I think its funny that a four letter word is given so much power, so I do what I can to destigmitize it.

That or I just really do curse like a sailor.

I like the term cunt cakes. Mine is cunt muffin. That word goes really well with baked goods words.

I like cunt better than vagina, it sounds powerful. Observe:

"The Cunt that Shook the World."

or

"The Vagina that Shook the World."

Which sounds a stronger sentence to you?
