    Picked up my neighbour's 7-year-old girl from school. She informed me she was shown the difference between boys and girls. I have a Volvo. I said no, you have not. I do so my teacher told me she said. No you don;t a Volvo is a car made in Sweden, you have a vulva.

    Ma Rainey was portrayed openly queer in the movie. Just because the movie wasn't ABOUT her sexuality, doesn't mean it was somehow "cut out".

    In old sailing terms a “cuntline” is the gap betwixt the strands of a laid (twisted) rope. In early water resistance practice the cuntlines were caulked with “small stuff” (lighter diameter cordage) and often pine tar. The whole was then covered with canvas strips which were impregnated with tar, before being tightly “served over” the circumstance with serving cordage. More tar may finish this off. Take care to keep your cuntlines properly attended!!

    I was hoping to find a real History with the definitive first use of the word. But at most, the piece only discussed use since Medieval times as it came out of old Germanic usage. I started skipping portions out of boredom, so I may have missed the real historical references. I only heard one sideways mention of Latin origins and no origin of cunnilingus. So if lingus refers to tongue, than does cunni mean vagina?

    2 questions. In many Latin countries couples dying it in “number 2” like gay sex before marriage I suppose this must have been common as well. Second to my question. Most people if not all were farmers. In my experience farmers have pretty good control that the femaile animals getting pregnant in the mid of their periods. If they do the logic is probably that their wife’s do as well and therefore avoid sex those period. When did farmers understand this fact?

    It doesn't mean Vulva. It comes from the Anglo Saxon word for a WEDGE Shape. Other sexual words like the 'F' word also comes from Anglo Saxon and means to have sex. When English evolved from Anglo Saxon and Norman French the older Anglo Saxon words were considered rude and the Latin/French derived words were used for politeness. The Peasant population spoke Anglo Saxon while the Nobility spoke old French. As time went by and English evolved the Latin derived words were used in polite company and the Anglo Saxon were considered uneducated and rude.

    Cunt comes from the word Cunni, which is a "snug warm damp place." When women were called Cunni's it was actually a complement because only a lady was snug. It's one of those words that is a noun that became a verb and can be used interchangeably.

    A much needed explanation of one of our historical "Taboo" words. Then there is the slang saying of See (c) you (u) next (n) Tuesday (t). But generally in my experience, it just means an extreme idiot. The best way to dilute theexceptions that people make to the use of this word is by treating it the way you have, by making it commonplace, without the extremist insult attached and talking in a matter of fact way without laughing about it is just about the best way to do it. Thankyou for a very informative discussion.

    In a letter to a young orator, Cicero told him not to use the word "cunnus" because it upset the audience. So the word has been obscene since long before the English language existed. Chaucer's "queynte" (toy) is actually a pun on the c-word, not the c-word itself. Shakespeare has "country matters," of course; but also "sea of troubles" suggests "C of troubles."

    Thousands of years ago, when sex was a sacred act of creation, the Britons worshipped at Maiden Hill, which represented the stomache of the pregnant Earth Mother. The river coming out of the hill, represented the female fluid. The name of the river is the Kennet. It is pronounced " kunt ". Fact

    So here's what gets my hackles up to a level 6 out of 5: Cuck !!! When a male person calls another male person a cuck, the insult is that a female bit of property has been co-opted, or borrowed without HIS permission! This insults a woman who usually had nothing to do with the insult - inspiring offense, or more likely, any and all females presumed to be potential chattel ! Perhaps you've covered this term, or I might look forward to it in a future episode.

    Oldest if you equate it with "quaint" in Chaucer! I forgot which characters, but when ""he grabbed her by the quaint" that was all the etymology I needed! Although that may have been a matter of translation, it seemed clearly connected in that context.
