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?

I like the word cunt & I'm not a great fan of nuns. I'd still probably rather know less than this about my colleagues' gearboxes tbh...

Reporting colleague has overreacted IMO & should just've told the pair of you to either grow up or shut up

Thanks Boris...I am a classy woman, I haven't graced the class thread as it happens and if you are a regular I probably wont bother...is it as humourless as you??

Joins Hester on the hunourless PC Gorn Mad Fembot Bench.

It's a horrible expression and based on the premise that women who choose to be sexually unavailable to men are to be despised and mocked.

However, I wouldn't have reported anyone who said it of themselves, describing actual vaginal dryness, and i don't worry about the word cunt, or any swear word, except where cunt is used in a contemptuous way of and towards women.

I didn't even smile at that expression.

YABU

A1980 didn't even smile...

Not unreasonable, but definitely thick

I just have a 'different' kind of humour - yours is not the only kind sweetheart! Mine is a little more refined and dry!

Casey it's not funny but I wasn't hugely offended by either it to clarify.

OK Boris....your humour is a little more refined and dry...I get it...but maybe not as dry as a nuns cunt eh??

I can't lulabellarama ...I have no memory of to and too and if it grates then I am ever so sorry

another recruit for the humourless PC Gorn Mad Fembot Bench here. Had never heard of this ghastly phrase before but it is just plain nasty. Pouring scorn on any woman who dares to decide not to have sex. Because that's not something we should be allowed to do, apparently.

Wouldn't report someone for saying it of themselves but I'd think less of them.

Probably not. But then I wouldnt know. You are the expert!

I am the expert in what Boris?

Fantastic!

This is why people have to get paid to go to work, and moan about the office, isn't it?

I work alone at home, and often fantasise about the exotic joys of office work. But I'm realising it's not all sparking wit, and spirited exchanges of informed opinion.

I've torn strips of my brother for using the phrase "Sweating like a rapist". It's just sick.

OTOH, I have been known to comment that my mouth is "as dry as Ghandi's flip flop", so I can't really comment on nuns!

Do pagans get offended by "It's colder than a witches tit?"

Depends where you work I guess animula, can't imagine all offices share this level of wit!

Do you work in the 1970s?

Who Narky? I am a SAHM at the moment, but usually teach so I wouldn't generally be saying stuff like that around the kids.

EvenLessNarkyPuffin - it is the 70s, isn't it! good spot! I've just been reading the David Peace "Red Riding" books - yes, a bit late, I know - and this is a kind of back in time/homage thing, isn't it?

The OP Boris.

Oh ok Sorry Narky! :)

I'm a tad confused that the Feminist Gorn Mad group are leaping to the defence of the said celibate nun of which this saying implies (and in their POV ridicules) when I had a rather interesting conversation with Dittany this afternoon who said that feminists despise the catholic church because, and I quote;

"They rape children".

Now all the feminists are leaping to the defence of the women who, some argue are oppressed, some argue are child rapists, and some argue are not to be mocked for being celibate.

Confused, is not the word.

Not funny to me either...

Yes it's crude (hate the word C* anyway)....but I'm surprised the phrase was reported....seems a bit OTT to me.

It's not down to sensitivity...just that there are some people who find such language un-acceptable.
