[edit] Use of a word cunt in Neologisms and as an adjective

I have obvious anxieties about the inclusion of the 'c' word in an encyclopaedia, and am uneasy at the propect of it being accessible to younger people. However, since it is here, I wonder if there would be any value in mentioning neologisms created through concatenation of the word with other nouns, as these are increasingly entering common usage. These might include, for example, cuntflaps, cunthead, cuntcock, cuntpiece, cuntface, cuntsmell, cuntlips, cuntstitch, cuntbuttock, cuntfanny, cuntchuckle, cuntfight, cunteyes, cuntkissies, cuntapple (can also be used with other fruit-types), cuntbricks, cuntsounds, cuntsauce, cuntcushion, cuntfiller, cuntcuddle, cuntmeet, cuntdown etc. I've also heard the word used increasingly as an adjective, such as cunting, cunted, cuntish, cuntfuelled, cunty, cuntled, cuntesque. What do other people think about this? BennyFromCrossroads 22:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Obvious anxieties? So your anxiety means that we should censor potentially offensive words and ideas from this site, is that what you are saying? Well, what if someone is offended by the characterization of the Nazi regime as barbaric, should we censor that? What if Japanese person feels that the references to mass rape and organized brothels during WWII is offensive, should we censor that? The information should be provided, period. You are entirely wrong to support or even countenance any type of censorship. Are you really so naive to think that a child hasnt heard a word like cunt or fuck or even nigger before. At least here, if treated professionally, they would be able to understand the fact that these words are not to be taken lightly and can cause a great amount of pain to an individual. (though the word fuck falls into a slightly less offensive category). Educating young people is a much more effective tool against ignorance and misunderstanding than censorship and I must say that I disagree with you entirely on that issue. Second, I think you are making up a lot of those neologisms. I mean cuntface is two words, and as for cuntdown and cuntmeet, I have never heard them used in my life and I know a lot of offensive people. The same goes for a large number of your references. To get to my point I feel that it might not be very useful simply because you can just add a million new ones each day as they pop into your head. Then again, I dont live in Canada, but I can assure you that few if any of those terms get any use in common American lingo.


censorship can be used sometimes, because you could use like a pin word for these pages —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.103.70 (talk) 20:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I don't think that "cunt" is a bad word

I think that "cunt" means a kind of rock music. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mewtwowimmer (talk • contribs) 20:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

This is a matter of opinion, but is the word "cunt" really more offensive in the US than the word "nigger"?71.118.48.179 19:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Why don't you say that to a girl then?

[edit] Addition to pre-20th Century Usage

I have no references to this, but I'm aware of a term used in pre-20th Century England that is relevant to this article. The term is 'cunny pocket', and is a euphemism for the vagina when used as a smuggling device. Using the vagina for smuggling contraband was considered an effective method before body cavity searches were considered decent or necessary practice by customs employees.

[edit] THis could be a Featured Article

I think this article is of sufficiently high quality to be nominated as a Featured Article. What do others think? 87.112.91.133 15:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that even if this were the most perfectly researched and brilliantly written article on Wikipedia, it would never become featured simply because of its name. Paul B 17:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I reckon this is the most perfectly researched and brilliantly written article on Wikipedia. Paul's still right, of course. Sentence of the year: "Calling someone a cunt is generally considered impolite". William Bowe 09:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
It would get featured article, it just would never get main page. In any case, this is no where near featured status- not nearly enough references, and the sections could do with a shakeup. J Milburn 16:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibility of reference to a sheath in old scottish warfare

My father once said that long ago the word "kunt" was used to refer to some sort of sheath in which to place a dagger, sword or some other weapon. It would be good to add some academic reference to the word and see what comes out of it. Please do some research and update as necessary. Thankyou

It is also ironic how the traditional usage of the work "cunt" -- meaning vagina is sometimes referred as an "axe wound", possibly linking the work kunt in its "sheath" meaning to the "axe wound".

Can somebody do some research and update. Blashyrk 04:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Your father was on the right track, but it was actually the politically correct "vagina" that means "sheath formed round a stem by the base of a leaf [from the Latin: meaning sheath, scabbard]" according to the Oxford Concise English Dictionary. M. Frederick 04:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It's called axed wound because it bleeds and there's a slit. The idea of linking the word kunt in its "sheath" meaning to the "axe wound" is just stupid.

[edit] Use by Begbie in Trainspotting

Sadly, since the article's semi-protected and I can't remember my previous username, I'll plonk my suggestion here, for what it's worth.

In the section on use in various countries, such as the reference to Shaun of the Dead in the section on the UK, perhaps the sentence, "This lassy got glassed and no cunt leaves here until we find out what cunt did it." from Trainspotting, uttered by Begbie (a frequent user of the word) should appear in the Scottish section.

Just a thought. Over and out. Discussion very welcome. GentianHush 19:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The true definition of the word cunt (or other words of that form i.e. - thunder-cunt, flaming-cunt, bitch and other things of that sort) is Alley. yes i read a book called Actual Meanings

[edit] The Word Cunt Is Not Considered A Word To Be Used Affectionately In New Zealand

It is actually rude to say someone is a cunt in New Zealand, unlike what the article says, for i live in New Zealand, so don't try using it in an "affectionate" way EVER in New Zealand, IT WILL NOT END NICELY.

Agreed - and ditto for Australia.

1) sign your comments with 4 tildes ~, 2)I am australian and I really have used cunt affectionately. WookMuff 21:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you do - but your wrong in general terms and in any case you would not want someone reading this, coming here (Australia) and using that word and being embarrassed. In some States you could get arrested for saying it as it is considered offensive behaviour.

Sorry, you are wrong. It is not in everyday use but it still is used. Just because you haven't said it doesn't mean its not true, thats a form of OR WookMuff 10:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm a new zealander, and I've used it plenty of times as an affectionate term. So have lots of my mates (including females) - Mutant 13:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Affectionate use of the word cunt

[edit] Here are some Aussie examples

  • Sick cunt - Good Bloke
  • Tough cunt - Someone who acts tough, but isn't
  • Hard cunt - Good fighter, good rugby player
  • Mad cunt - Funny Guy, someone you can bludge money off
  • Funny cunt - Good sense of humour
  • Sick cunt - Similar to mad cunt
  • Big cunt - Body builder or just solid
  • Dumb Cunt - Someone who lacks common sense or is just plain dumb - Not to be used affectionately.
  • Dead cunt - Threaten Someone before they get there head bashed in - Not to be used affectionately.
  • Doughy cunt - Those whom lack general knowledge AdamCassar 10:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm an Aussie (for some reason I believe that needs to be clarified here :) ) and although I have used pretty much all the above examples at one time or another, the word itself doesn't have widely accepted usage. For example, I may greet my brother with "Hey cunt" on a regular basis, I wouldn't use it in a public forum because it's not appropriate. I think the general tone of this article is misleading in that it seems to indicate that it's common to use these examples. It's not. It's a rare thing, and when it is used it's not used in public (generally). "followed by a long string of chanting "CuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCuntCunt" upon his entrance to any room." This sentence, can someone back that up with some evidence? I have NEVER heard of that usage. Klytos 02:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


New Zealanders are a pack of cunts. They need to get a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.12.233.21 (talk) 03:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the point being missed here is that affectionate 'cunt' in Australian and New Zealand english is used as part of the tradition of affectionate insults. The denotation never changes, but it's implicit in the interaction whether it is positive or negative —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.73.35.125 (talk) 11:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Removed capitals from heading- unnecessary shouting & annoying. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 12:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Also in use in the United States Armed Forces

I joined the US Army in 1978 and was issued a garrison cap to be worn with either Class A or B uniforms ("A" so-called Dress Greens; "B" so-called Khakis). The Service (so-called bus driver's) cap was an option purchase item which was phased out sometime over the next ten years. The 'cunt-cap' was later superceded by the black beret.

Further elaboration on uniform types and classes: The Dress Green unifor was (and may still be) the Class A worn with white shirt and black bowtie in lieu of the Dress Blue uniform, which is (for most personnel) an optional purchase item. The original khaki uniform was a tropical-wool blend with either a long sleeve shirt and tie, or a short sleeve shirt. The khakis issued to me were of a perma-press material with short sleeves only. The original had been phased out prior to my enlistment, and the latter was replaced by the grey-green shirt during my enlistment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.125.37.157 (talk) 15:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Etymological Accuracy

Please see the following link for further discussion of this word's etymology: http://www.blogmark.co.za/index.php?q=node/4789 Of course, we must not overlook the meaning this word has today; but I don't think it hurts to be forthright about its origins. Interestingly, I see Barbara Walker's "The Woman's Encyclopedia" was mentioned in the Refenences section but not in the article. I wonder if another user attempted to cite Walker and clarify the word's origins, only to have her factual contributions promptly deleted. M. Frederick 04:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In the United Kingdom, cunt is almost always used to refer to men, not women.

REALLY? I'd like to see a source for this.

Speaking as a Briton this is certainly true, the term is virtually exclusively used referring to men. Suriel1981 16:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

In the UK, 'cunt' is pretty much exclusively used towards men and almost never towards women.90.242.39.46 05:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

That is certainly not true...I'm British and I know that the word 'cunt' is used to refer to men and women and many other things besides...you can't just generalise how people use the word, YOU may not use it to refer to anyone other than men but other people in Britain may do.

All words have different meanings for different people, however it's used about 98% of the time to refer to men where I live (Glasgow) and my experience of the rest of the UK is the same. It's very rare to hear it used explicitly with reference to a woman and if you said that here it might not even be understood by some people. The two meanings of the word in my community are -
1. A general term for any person, as in "you'd better move that chair or else some cunt might trip over it". That sense of the word doesn't have any negative connotations, calling someone a cunt in that sense doesn't say anything about the individual, it's just a way of referring to people in general.
2. As a more direct insult. The meaning of the insult isn't anything like the use of the word elsewhere in the world, it means something like a cocky, mean spirited, arrogant man. As such it doesn't make a great deal of sense to use it with reference to a woman.
These are the only two meanings of the word I hear with any regularity in my community, it may well be used to refer to a woman now and then, but if my community represents the rest of the UK then it would be so infrequent as to make the original statement valid. Blankfrackis 23:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cunt as one of the seven words

I'm surprised there's not a reference to George Carlin's list of the "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television". Piss, Shit, Fuck, Cunt, Motherfucker, Cocksucker, and Tits.

At least the first and the last have been on broadcast TV since then, but I've not heard the middle five.

There could also be further references to The Vagina Monologues and uses therein.

Thanks for listening.

Hell, the British film Withnail and I contains the word cunt twice and that's only 15-rated. But then I'm fairly sure it was taboo to say the word period on American television up until about 10 years ago so American television must be a lot more inhibited. Suriel1981 16:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


What does this have to do w/ anything? Just delete the webpage and be done w/ it. Does it matter if you can say a word on British TV and not on American TV? Although, Britain does kick ass. GO BRITAIN!69.254.202.13 03:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC) User:TotalBritishLover621 8:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The ONE word that is so offensive??

I find this quote from the aritcle a little difficult to believe: "the word cunt remains in America the one word that is so offensive as to be customarily unspeakable." I would consider the "f word" to be much more offensive than cunt, considering you can't even use it more than once in a PG-13 movie. How often do we here cunt and other words in prime time sitcoms? David Mitchell 02:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


I'd rather like to question which sitcoms you've been watching. I have heard the word fuck quite often on television in recent years, granted I speak of Canadian television. Yet even American broadcasts use it, they simply censor it in a way so obvious you can't help but know what they are saying. Even in Canadian television, which is less restrictive than American, I have yet to hear the word cunt, especially on a "prime-time" show of any nature. Xerial 12:54, 30 April 2007 (PST)

Not seen Curb Your Enthusiasm then? --LiamE 09:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Curb Your Enthusiasm is not a prime time sitcom, it is an HBO comedy. The two worlds are vastly different. Xerial 12:41, 30 April 2007 (PST)


Seriously this is a stupid point. Cunt is not the most offensive word in America, nigger is. Period, there is no argument there. And I mean nigger with the 'r' pronounced, not nigga as commonly used by blacks and somehow acceptable. If you want proof go into a store and yell cunt in front of a mixed crowd. Then yell nigger with the 'r' pronounced in front of another mixed crowd. The difference will be apparent.

[edit] A couple of issues

"[...]or the Proto-Indo-European root *gwneH2/guneH2 = "woman" seen in gynaecology." ~ What is "*gwneH2/guneH2"? This could be some kind of phonetic transcription, but if so it's one I've never heard of. I would assume that it's some problem with the formatting, but obviously I can't correct it myself because I haven't the slightest idea what it's meant to mean.
"The earliest citation of this usage, circa 1230, is in the Oxford English Dictionary, referring to the London street known as "Gropecunt Lane"; as the word "cunt" has been incorporated into the colloquial and technical speech of nautical and other occupational traditions." ~ The semicolon (;) should be used to link two complete sentences that share a theme or idea. The section after the semicolon here is not a complete sentence, and doesn't seem to refer directly to the first section. I would correct this myself, but I can't work out what the second section is trying to say. Branfish 03:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsigned comments from top of page

Marathi, a language derived from Sanskrit has the word "Kuntan khana" which means a brothel. The "khana" part of the word means "place", whereas "kuntan" means sexual intercourse.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Shabdavallabh (talk • contribs)

Accordoing to Wikepedia, "Cunnilingus is the act of using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the female genitals, particularly the clitoris, often the most sensitive part of the female genitalia. The term comes from an alternative Latin word for the vulva (cunnus) and from the Latin word for tongue (lingua)." It would seem, therefore, that an arguement could be made for a Latin basis tot he word cunt rather than a germanic. More likely, given the reference to Marathi language above, the word is a common indo-european word found in several languages —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.237.170 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Silence of the Lambs

The entry about Silence of the Lambs is nonsensical. It mentions that in the Director's Cut you can hear the line by the prisoner "Migs", but that it is edited out in broadcast versions, and it seems to allude to the fact that the line was originally left ambiguous because of the vulgarity of the term. That's nonsense, because in the same scene Lector asks Starling what Migs said, and she forthrightly spits it out "I can smell your cunt". Why is it such a big deal that the line is more intelligable in the Director's Cut when Migs says it- in fact, as a device, its more effective that you hear it the first time from Starling.

At any rate, the entire passage is irrelevant, untrue, illogical, unsourced and does not add to the article. So I'm removing it, following the lead of other contributors I've witnessed here to remove anything they deem to be unworthy or invalid. Raphaelaarchon 18:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelled backwards

In the book "Venus on the Half-Shell", there's a female character named Tnuc. In the animated TV series "Tripping the Rift" a grossly obese alien female character is named Tnuk.

[edit] Censorship?

In the Anime 'Sailor Moon' one of the Villains was called 'Kunzite', but when it was Dubbed into English they changed his name to 'Malachite'. I think it's 'cause 'Kunzite' sounds like 'cunt', and I guess I just wanted to know if anyone else thinks it's possible.

Some people are saying that it was changed because 'Kunzite' is named after a person, but considering naming a gemstone (the character is named after the gemstone Kunzite) after the person who found it is common practice, it doesn't seem too likely. That, and if it had to be changed for copyright reasons, then they wouldn't have been able to use it in the Original version either, right?

Very loosely related to this Article, I suppose, but it's a bit interesting.

This page is pure comedy gold. I have had tears running down my face. Best article ever on Wikipedia, and yes i am immature.

[edit] Sex Pistols

Under "puns", worth adding that in the Sex Pistols' 1977 hit "Pretty Vacant", the accent and emphasis is clearly and strongly on the last syllable.

You could also note the ska band from Newcastle, Australia originally called the "Pork Hunts". At around the time of their first single they changed their name to "The Porkers", with the subtitle "Tired of being Pork Hunts". At some stage they reverted to "Pork Hunts", but I don't know if that was because of success or the lack of it.

Adelaide had a band called "Cunning Stunts", who had some trouble securing gigs, even though the name was a spoonerism and not a pun. This was some time before the Metallica album of the same name was released.

And The Goodies had an episode called "Cunning Stunts", episode 10 Series 5.--In no sense nonsense 10:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch cognate is 'kont', not 'kut'

According to the authorative Dictionary of the Dutch Language (Woordenboek van de Nederlandse Taal, WNT), only "kont" stems from the Germanic word refered to, and not "kut" as stated in this article. "Kont" originally designated the femaly private parts but now only means "bum". It is not considered offensive.

That other Dutch word, kut, originates from kutta and still means vagina, vulva. It is considered moderately offensive, especially in Flanders.

Persons wishing to double-check can do so, after taking a free subscription, by following the link included at Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal.

[edit] Usage in England

I would like to suggest that the English use of the word is almost identical to the Scottish and Irish usage, especially in terms of referring to someone not currently present. I would also like to mention that the usage in affectionate instances requires affection or familiarity to exist in the first place, for it to be taken that way. I would like to see the section be edited to encompass this.

One must consider the many forms of speech that exist in England, and to blanket the entire country as one would be an oversight. Not simply in terms of the North, the Midlands, and the South; there are numerous variations.

Possibly repackage the section as Usage in the UK, including the Irish and Scottish examples, mentioned in direct reference to Ireland and Scotland. DigitalPsyche 13:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I must agree that since the the 1970s (when I was a teenager) at least, the usage in England, and in fact, all over the British Isles has been as described in Scotland, Ireland and Australia. The 'affectionate' use of the word in all these places is simply the normal (for these countries) ironic use of an insult as a term of affection. It's use in England is extremely common (though not much on formal occasions!), and it's meaning is very much dependent on both social and verbal context.Masmit 21:05, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


I agree - who thinks that we English don't swear just as much as the Irish or the Australians? I remember celebrating the creativity of phrases such as "he's an absolute cunting bastard". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.159.231.168 (talk) 13:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I would like someone to add "Cunt Oath!". It is a very popular phrase in country areas in Australia, it means 'Yes, definately!". For example, "Can I buy you another beer?", "Cunt oath mate!"

Why not add it yourself, whoever you are? (And please remember to sign your comments.) Rodparkes 02:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] earliest uses of the word in Hollywood movies

The section "Breaking Taboo" in the current version of the article is rather disjointed; it lists a number of movies that use the word but many of them are from the 1990s or later like Glengarry Glen Ross (film) and Trainspotting (film). Why are those movies even mentioned in this section? There is a thread on the imdb forums that lists some of the early films to use the word:

These all were released in the early 1970s, prior to The Exorcist. --Mathew5000 01:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vagina tagging

I have removed the (fact) tag that had been placed in the middle of the first sentance. The whole sentance is linked to a source which states that cunt is a vulgar term for the female sex organs. It seems that an editor has doubts about the use of the word, feeling, i believe, that the word refers to the external genitalia only, and not the vagina. Looking at vagina however it informs us that in English the word vagina is incorrectly frequently used to refer to entire area; vagina and vulva. We brits are, perhaps, a bit vague about about "down there" (ask any british woman!) and in common speech don't differentiate between the vulva and the vagina. It seems strange to believe that we are too ignorant to use the polite word correctly, yet are able to differentiate when swearing: outside of medical dictionaries cunt, pussy, twat and vagina all refer to exactly the same area of the female body.

[edit] Rework

Forgive me for shoving my interest in here (Ooh, err, Missus) but when I linked to this article from elsewhere (you really don't need to know) my immediate impressions were that (a) there's a lot of good stuff here, but (b) it's a bit disorganised particularly when it comes (Purrr-lease!) to media references. I've taken the liberty of beginning a revamp of this, in which all modern uses of "cunt" n the media are on one section and can be accessed, if necessary, from elsewhere in WP.

[edit] country berk

  • Berk - short for "Berkeley Hunt". "Berkshire Hunt".
  • The English slang word, "berk", is a contraction of "Berkeley Hunt", which in turn refers to the English vulgarity, "cunt". (The usage is dated to the 1930s)<nowiki><ref>Cassell's Dictionary of Slang. Jonathon Green. Pub. Cassel & Co. ISBN 0-304-35167-9</ref></nowiki> This is an example of Cockney rhyming slang. The "berk" in Berkeley is pronounced to rhyme with "bark", whereas the Cockney pronunciation of the slang term, as with the American English pronunciation, rhymes with "work".

Is there any info. as to why Berkshire & Berkeley,_Gloucestershire, Berkeley would be vaginal, or Cockney??
