Hi,

I’m working on a new page for my freshly approved Chyoo interactive sex story. (Aaralon’s Discoveries). I feel obliged to spell things correctly but for some reason Mirco$oft Word doesn’t seem to be able to help me spell “cunny linguis”. So could someone with a more expensive education than myself rush to my rescue with the… oh, all right, with the right spelling of the word?

(Why do I feel as if I’m wasting an opportunity here? :) )
 
Gasp!

How dare thou reply to my most sagacious post with quick wit and humour!

Interestingly (or not) the character in this part of the interactive story is called Emerald.

:p

(Not quite the most sexy of tongue enhanced smilies - is it?)
 
Roll up. Roll up.
We send a call out to the wise men and women of the kingdom. A treasure for anyone who can safely and successfully spell the wet version of heaven.


Ah yes, your prize? Why! None other than the tempting Emerald_Eyes herself. She'll be all yours - just don't tell her I set this deal up.


Roll up. Roll up.
Answer this riddle and win this most amazing prize!

cunniglingus.

Cunt is an interesting word. For some reason a lot of women dislike it as being beyond vulgar. Someone please tell me why?

I think it is the anglicized form of the Latin root cuni --meaning cone-shaped. Remember 'cuniform' from high school? ancient Babylonian form of writing? triangle shaped letters?

And a vagina is a cone isn't it? An ice cream cone that needs a good licking, starting at the top and working all the way down, down, down to the teeny tiny tip.....then back up for a good flat slurping.

Isn't it funny how different words have different feeling tones?
Cock--sounds massive, insistent and mesomorphic to me.
Prick--sounds invasive and inclined to selfishness and arrogance
Dick--sounds thin, juvenile and silly
Member--sounds like something you find in Congress
Pussy--sounds full, sensuous, but seem to me to fit only unshaven love temples (my preference anyway).
Twat--I don't use because it sounds demeaning--almost French.
Whaddya think?

I think any attempt to observe language falls down once it reaches sexual heights / depths.

A good way to take someone down a peg, I've found, is to have a smart reply if they call you a cunt - or some other sexual swear.

Them: "You're a cunt!"

Me: "I'm a cunt? I thought you didn't like me? Oooh, I get it, you don't like cunts either." Pause "Ooh. You look confused. This explains much."

Clearly the insulter here needs to be male or one of those females who like to pretend to be bi.
 
Sixth,

You're obviously a person who needs some relief. And IMHO one of the best ways to give or get some relief is spelled C-U-N-N-I-L-I-N-G-U-S. (and my MS Word spell checker agrees)

RV,

Totally agree with your rapid diagnosis of popular terms, although you left quite a few out.

http://literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=42607

That covers most of the rest, although somehow I neglected the always-popular "fuck stick." How shall I ever live with myself for forgetting fuck stick?

I think this calls for a heavy duty eye-rolling.

And yes, the term is cunnilingus. It's nice. Fellatio is the male equivalent, if that ever comes up.

I had a question myself, actually...you have heard of phallic imagery, I'm sure. What d'you call it if it looks like a vagina if you squint at it long enough?
 
Interesting that such a cunning linguist would feel an important
ingredient to the novel is correct spelling. What a concept?
 
I can't nor have I ever been able to spell. If it wern't for spell check on computers I would have never made it through college. I NEED spell check on these boards!!! But not as much as I need pussy....

I would like to see the term "qwim" revived for pussy. It has a sound that starts off a little hard, like the first second of penetration, then becomes liquid, and is assonant with 'in'. It has a positive sound.

Also, "cunny."---So you see I've spent too much time in the 18th and 19th centuries.

"Yoni" isn't bad, but has all the Tantric freight with it.

I'm interested in words, their origins and their sounds. In the NY Times a week or so ago, there was an article on bottled water. Apparently, the company came up with the name "Dasani" quite logically. The "Ah..Ah.." sound is soothing, and ending the word on an "i" makes it sound foreign and exciting. It made a whole lot of sense, and since then I've been thinking about the sounds of words a lot more. "Quim" sounds exactly like how you described it. I've never cared for saying "pussy" because it just doesn't sound good...the "oof!" sound of the "u" isn't very flattering. "Cunt" sounds just like how it's used: rough and dirty and direct. Wish I'd read that article before I'd written my how-to; I'd have had a lot more to say.

You sound like you have experience in the linguistics field, or at least have thought about it, RV. Share?

darn. I love the word pussy. Think it sounds better than the rest. I love to here women say it and not in a bad tone like "Cunt" or "Twat". Wish more women apreciated it like myself.

just my $.02

--Especially interesting because Evian bottled water comes straight from----a municipal water supply!

In answer to your questions, I like to think about the meanings of words; their origins are one way to do this. Lately I've been interested in the feeling-tones of certain words, especially words that can be used identically but have different feelings associated with them. Analogous to low and high F-sharp. I studied French for many years, then German and some classical Greek as well as philosophy.

Also one problem with erotica is that the same old words get trotted out all the time and kind of lose their, er, thrust.

Not just erotica...it's hard to find words that still convey much meaning. I think that "reverence" still maintains its edge (and hopefully 10 of you won't now toss out a cheap little story entitled "Reverence") but yes, the language, like inhibitions in general, has weakened over the course of civilization. Hard to still get the same punch. "Manhood" used to turn me on, back in my early, early days of erotica. Now "cock" doesn't do anything for me on its own. Sigh...jaded readers are such a nuisance. o)

Ugh...can't stand "twat." It doesn't sound too ridiculous in and of itself, but the memories go back to 8th grade, well before things were sexy. I say "pussy" most of the time because I want to give that much more impact to the rare occasions I say "cunt."
 
Pet names

Emerald_eyed said:

I think cunt is better the Gash. I knew someone who called it a gash

I agree. Gash sounds like "slash".

OK, Em and ladies out there...do you have pet names for your vagina and breasts?

A couple of girls I knew used to call their vaginas "Veronica."
