The C- word


An interesting article on the C-word... "a word so hateful it can scarcely be uttered"

The word, my friends, is C-U-N-T. Apparently it has NINE definitions: " 'vagina', 'a contemptuous person', 'a sexually available woman', 'a foolish person', 'sexual intercourse', 'an infuriating object', 'a difficult task', 'an acquaintance', and 'a vein for drug-injecting'. " -- who knew?

Anyways, an interesting read if anyone has the time or interest heres a link to the paper: Cunt: The history of the C-word

(And just for the record, I dislike the C-word very much and am not encouraging the use of it)

Edit: the link should work now.. it does for me!
