I have to admit, I use it as a curse word to women who behave in ways who give all women a bad name. It's an insult I reserve for the worst of the worst. But sexually, I like using the word cunt. It's a word that you can't help but to stand up and take notice. It's not a word of neutrality. You can either love the word of hate the word. It's a visceral word that conjures red hot fiery passion. You can choose to embrace that passion or fear it.
For example, I'm a plus-sized gal, but I know behind my back, strangers call me fat. I can use to bury my hand in the sand and refuse to admit to myself that I'm fat. Or I can the word myself, thereby taking the power away from those people and that word and get on with my life. It's like, "Yeah, I'm fat. So what?" It doesn't hurt me. I'm much more than my weight or my looks. So it doesn't bother me.
Now what bothers me is 7th grade locker room euphemisms for body parts. It turns me cold when I hear the words titties or boobies. And any diminutive word for a penis, such as wienie, peepee, etc., freaks me out. It makes me feel like I'm talking to a pedophile.
A quick joke: A man boards an airplane, and who's in the seat next to him - the pope! The man is nervous, excited, and trying to think of something to say.
The pope is doing a crossword puzzle, and the man says "So, your Holiness, do you enjoy crossword puzzles, too?"
The pope responds "Yes, my son."
The man thinks to himself, wow that was a dumb question - I blew it.
Just then, the pope leans over and asks "What's a four letter word for 'woman' that ends in U-N-T?"
The man, terrified, thinks: oh, dear. I know the answer, but it's such a terribly vulgar word, I can't... oh wait! He blurts out "Yes, your eminence! The word is "AUNT."
The pope says "Ah, yes, of course. Do you have an eraser?"
