(when referencing vagina)

i'm by no means prudish or uptight about language but it's the one word i really truly hate. it just sounds so...yuck.

In everyday life... yuck. 🤢 During sex... yes please 😂

HagridsBigToe · 27/05/2019 22:09

I don't really like it either. But it's better than gash or twee terms like "bits", "downstairs" "lady garden" or, worst of all, "front bottom".

cunt is a term of affection or a general word for people round my parts!

(as in where i live, not my PARTS parts Blush)

I think most words for it are a bit gross, the evolution of language I guess!!

HagridsBigToe · 27/05/2019 22:15

I don't actually find cunt very offensive. (although I rarely use it outside my circle, because I am aware people may have strong feelings about it). It's just a word. I find racial, disabilist etc slurs much more offensive to be honest because they are actively hurting people.

Agreed, Hagrid. I tend to suppress a desire to smack women who use coy euphemisms for their own body parts.

I’m also reclaiming cunt, and reviving quim and quaint.

I know what you mean, magicBrenda, and I used to feel the same way. Then I thought: why is 'cunt' so terrible? Why should it be, like, the worst thing you can call someone, when it used to be simply a neutral word for our lady parts? A cunt is actually a beautiful thing. In the same way, a 'fuck' can be a loving, intimate act if you both hear it and agree on it in that way. My partner is a little older than me and very traditional but now he likes using those words. We want each other, and can't be doing with frilly euphemisms!

My pussy is way too furry at the moment.

I prefer pussy to growler.

Grr where's the gif gone?

YoThePussy · 27/05/2019 23:16

Just wanted to say my user name references my street cats who strut around and I think say Yo to each other rather then meow.

Like Quim, might start using that.

steff13 · 28/05/2019 00:12

gash, or ham sandwich, or axe wound.

Well, those are just horrifying.

cheeseislife8 · 30/05/2019 18:51

I agree with Hagrid on "front bottom", that's just utterly horrendous

SinisterBumFacedCat · 30/05/2019 18:53

God yes, it sounds infantilising. Much prefer cunt.

ALongHardWinter · 30/05/2019 18:58

Axe wound 😂. How about clowns pocket?!

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 30/05/2019 20:01

Otters pocket

CobaltRose96 · 30/05/2019 20:08

It makes me cringe.

CobaltRose96 · 30/05/2019 20:09

Clunge and minge make me laugh, though! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Feelingwalkedover · 30/05/2019 20:33

Surely the correct name ..as I was taught is
Front bottom
