  1. Would be funny if true! I just read way way way too much about the history and origin of this word, by mostly deranged leftist swine, and am not finding any reference to the posted explanation.

    Ugh, now I gotta go scour my brain and get another cup of coffee.

  2. From now on everyone gets my Cuntness for birthdays, and Holidays.
    May the Cunt be with you all.

    • Based on this definition of dubious origin, wouldn’t it be your cuntship, rather than cuntness? Just asking.

  3. the word predates 1544 and was even used by Chaucer in the Canterbury Tales. The correct form of the abstract noun is: cuntiness. A man besotted by a woman is referred to as cuntstruck in the UK too.

  4. The above was my first comment here, having lurked here for years. Thanks for this blog , BTW – it is an island of sanity.

  5. No no, the honorable meaning of “cunt” is all true. But it arose as a transcription error by a scribe with undiagnosed dyslexia.

    In ye olden tymes particularly brave and honorable men were compared to Cnut the Great, threefold king of England, Dane-Mark, and Norway back in the early 1000’s. You can see how “That guy Aethelrede is a real Cnut” would be high praise.

    But these days we spell his name Canute. Because we’re cowards and don’t know how to proofread anymore.

    This lesson brought to you by the numbers 4 and 69; sleep deprivation; and Mr Talking Whiskey Bottle.
