Cunt!

=============================================

I have no idea, but have heard that it is de riguer in Italy for men to do so. Does that help?

Also, back to your thread, is "Kuna" the word from which the word for woman is derieved (so asks my source)?

The writings of Ptah-Hotep (?) in Egypt, it is said the word for cunt is synonymous with that for woman, and was a word of respect (another, albeit ancient warm and fuzzy place for the word to be used). The word, "K-at" literally is said to have meant "the body of her," and also meant female genitals, or vulva.

Kunthi is both a Sanskrit term for the vagina, and the name of an ancient Indian mother goddess. Kunti, a goddess of nature, was said to take innumerable men into herself without altering her presence, just like the earth. She features in the epic Sanskrit poem of India, the Mahabharata.

Is this a repeat of anyone? Sorry, didn't read all the posts.

I've heard about the Italian custom as well. I don't think your statement has been made before in this thread, but even if it has I find it fascinating.

That Italian men like to pinch women's asses?

For the record, I lived with an Italian man in the house growing up and I never once saw him indulge in that custom.

Is it true that Spanish men like to pinch women's asses if they're walking down the street?

never happened to me when i was in spain. i got a guy walking behind me for five to ten minutes, saying all the time "hola, como estás" without that i answered or even looked at him - made me wonder a bit what made him think i might change my mind after a while... but no one pinching my ass... i thought it was indian men that have a reputation for groping foreign women?

anyway, they do say "coño" quite a bit in spain. if you knew that one word you'd already understand about half of each conversation, was my impression...

 

[Munachi]

and just for the record, gramatically coño is a male word. while "polla" (cock) is a female word.

So it's a stereotype?

"Coño" estás, Munachi.

 

[AchtungNight]

So it's a stereotype?

As far as I know.

hm... hehe...

as for the italians, i have never been to italy, and i must admit i am, for some reason, not a big fan of italian men. i have seen a few that are cute, but nowhere close to spanish or south american men... and for some reason i find their accent annoying.

but anyway, a friend told me she was in rome a few years ago and she said the men there were just annoying. it was impossible for her to walk outside in the evening by herself. of course i don't know how sensitive she is about these things, as i heard other friends complaining about the men in spain, south america, or romania, and i didn't have many problems in either of these places. i wonder if that means i am just not the type the whistle after and hit on very much, or if i just don't take it as serious...

Who knows? I've found that it depends on the woman traveling as well as on the men. I've been hit on by Frenchmen while Greeks let me be for the most part. Some of the Frenchmen were sweet while the others were aggressive. *shrugs*

yes i suppose it depends on both. and on the interpretation of things... i don't think i had real problems anywhere so far. i think spain was the place i got most annoyed at times - though as i said there was no groping or anything, and not that many hit ons either...

in greece i wasn't long enough to really say something about it. though i met this guy on a train who was kind of cute and we kissed once before i got off the train but later he kept emailing me, implying he is in love with me, so that creeped me out a bit.

haven't really been in france very often yet, and when i was i usually met lots of partly french partly non-french friends there, so don't know...

Yikes! That is creepy. *shudder*

I was briefly trapped in an elevator with three Frenchmen while I was in Paris. They kept their hands to themselves, but the looks they gave me made the air sizzle. Memories... *contented sigh*

well the funny thing is, that this was just after i left romania, and in romania there had been a somewhat similar case - a guy i went out with once or twice, and who later would call and email me telling me he misses me already and all that...

hm... *thinks of university elevator and all the south american guys that study in the same building as me* - i wonder if i could make the elevator get stuck???

I think Jack Off Jill made great use of the word Cunt.

 

[nyte_byrd]

I agree with the authors that say the use of the word "cunt" depends on the context and the intensity of the action you're describing. If you've got a really wild multiple-party sex scene going on, it's going to sound irritating to say "pussy pussy pussy" dozens of times, and it's probably not a good time in the story to revert back to softer words ("love nest", "womanly folds", etc.).

And you have to admit, "cunt" HAS to be better than using that old 80's slang word: "Twat". Now there's one word that just brings something gross to mind.

 

[MagicaPractica]

For me, the word "cunt" is not a problem, it is the intent behind the use of it. I think it can be a very hot word when used in a story. But when someone uses it as a swear word, it disturbs me greatly. Research has shown that reducing a woman to her body parts by calling her names such as cunt in anger is a significant sign of whether the man will become violent in the future. Someone brought up use of the word, "dick." It makes me wonder if the reverse is true for women but I don't think it works with this word. It's too prevalent throughout our society, at least it was when I was in grade school.

I try to be more descriptive in swearing at people. I've always liked George Lucas' "You low-down, stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, nerf-herder." Well, the truth is I just really don't call people names very often. It's not productive.

 

[Aurora Black]

It's all in the context, yes.
