to think the saying " as dry as a nun's cunt" is funny and not offensive???

[Casey76]

Well...it all started when my old hag older collegue told us that she hasn't had sex for a while because since going through menopause she is "as dry as a nuns cunt"...I laughed and too be honest because of my childish sense of humour I have been sniggering all day...However another very annoyingsensitive collegue was horrified and has since grassed on reported the older one to our boss!!!
How mean is that? Too be as dry as a nuns cunt and then too get into trouble about it....what's with the world today? when did everyone become so sensitive?

Made me snigger..

But i am tres vulgar and have an infantile sense of humour.

It's not funny though?

I would never dream of reporting someone for such a phrase or comment. However, I don't really like coarse language myself so wouldn't find it particularly amusing.

Working in an industry based on crop supply when supply was low we always said 'tight as a nun's cunt (or chuff depending)'.
I always relished saying it.
YANBU.

She reported her to her boss for having a dry noo noo?

That is odd

Young nun's cunts won't be dry though...

Not v funny IMO, but hardly report-worthy

I find it highly amusing. How embarrassing to get in trouble for it though.

Let me be the first humourless, PC-gorn-mad fembot on this thread: I don't think it's funny and I do think it's offensive.

Same as Hulababy, I wouldn't go as far as to report someone for saying it but I don't find it funny either.

Pesronally i wouldn't like to hear that at the local pub, let alone in the workplace, however I wouldn't have gone so far as to make a fomral complaint!

I used it on MN the other day on a weather thread. I used "chuff" rather than cunt though. I can't see who it could offend.

was already to say YABU when i read title, but after reading who said it and why, i laughed out loud . so YANBU and sensitive colleage is BU

will you send touting colleague to coventry ?

Dry noo noo....

tbh I can see why some people might find that offensive. People of faith, or people who hate the word cunt. Poor choice of words in a workplace, I'd have said - but reporting a bit over the top.

I think it's pretty disrespectful but hey, if it floats your boat. Not sure why you'd want to broadcast being so childish though. I'd keep it to myself if I were you.

Yes...said colleague will be in coventry untill her noo noo is fusty and dry..and slighty mouldy

You'd hear a lot worse at my local.

My DH has always used that phrase when he is thirsty.

Well, he says dry as a nuns gearbox, to be specific.

i think loads of things are hilarious that have em clutching their pearls in horror on here :)

ew it is gross though

I wouldn't have reported

Well I'm obviously in the childish and tasteless camp as I sniggered loudly when I read the thread title

Perhaps they aren't - so you could be factually incorrect! Why not ask a nun? Never used that expression myself - use the old 'dry as a bone'

It's normally 'as dry as a Nun's chuff'

I don't really like the C word and I wouldn't use the expression in front of a religious person in case it offended them.

But I certainly wouldn't report anyone.

Course & not funny. I would've ignored it.

I don't see why it's OK to take the piss out of nuns because they choose to be celibate. They deserve respect, IMO.
