And sure as shit, along comes a classless moron to make the case for censorship. If not for idiots like you, there wouldn't be word filters.

So all I need do is repeat a word a bunch of times in a post like this idiot did and I can get you to censor it?

Take your new firearm to a Government building and assemble it there. You can then petition to be let out of jail LOL.

the history of the c ..word

Censorship


In some contexts, 'cunt' remained a socially acceptable word until very recently: "in rural areas [of England in the 1960s] the word was still being used as an ordinary everyday term, at least when applied to a cow's vulva" (James McDonald, 1988). However, besides this location- and usage-specific example, 'cunt' has been the primary English language taboo for over five centuries. I have attempted to ascertain approximately when the word first became taboo, and have also documented the history of its media censorship.

The censorship of 'cunt' is a cyclical process: initially, the word was socially acceptable, then it became taboo, and more recently it can be found with increasing regularity in both print and broadcast media. This gradual mainstream acceptance represents an erosion of the word's taboo status.

'Cunt' was used medically by Lanfranc, who, in the early fifteenth century, wrote: "In wymmen [the] neck of [the] bladdre is schort, [and] is maad fast to the cunte" (14--). Two hundred years later, however, the 'cunt' taboo was firmly in place: Minsheu rendered it "Cu [and] c" ('Cu etc.', 1617) and John Fletcher resorted to "They write sunt with a C, which is abominable" (1622). It is not possible to unequivocally identify the date from which 'cunt' first became taboo, though Mark Morton (2003) provides a rough guide: "Up until the fourteenth century or so, cunt appears not to have been a taboo word. [...] By the fifteenth century, however, the word cunt seems to have shifted toward the taboo. [...] Near the end of the seventeenth century, the word cunt was firmly ensconced in obscenity".

Southwark's 'Gropecuntelane' dates from 1230, indicating that, at that time, the word may have been bawdy but was not obscene. Similarly, the earliest example of a 'cunt' surname is that of Godwin Clawecunte from 1066, and the latest is Bele Wydecunthe's from 1328. Lanfranc, writing one hundred years later, does not disguise the word, though Geoffrey Chaucer does.

Chaucer, in his Canterbury Tales, employs the deliberately faux-archaic spelling 'queynte' (variants: 'queynt', 'qwaynt', 'quaynte', 'queinte', 'coynte', and 'coint'; modern spelling: 'queint') as a substitute for 'cunt'. Eric Partridge suggests that, to form 'queynte', "Chaucer may have combined Old French coing with Middle English cunte or he may have been influenced by the Old French cointe" (1931), and Mark Morton suggests a link to 'quaint', though the simplest explanation is that Chaucer added the 'nte' mediaeval suffix of 'cunt' to the feminine 'qu' prefix. William Shakespeare's "acquaint" in his Sonnet XX (1609[a]) is a disguised reference to both 'quaint' and 'cunt'. Andrew Marvell uses similar literary camouflage in To His Coy Mistress, with a reference to "quaint honour" (1653):

"Thy beauty shall no more be found;
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: the worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honour turn to dust;
And into ashes all my lust".

Three hundred and fifty years later, an If... cartoon by Steve Bell also disguised 'cunt', this time by rendering it as the faux-French "QUEURNT" (2003). Perhaps this comic example adds a new dimension to Chaucer's 'queynte', which can be seen as a similarly exoticised rendering of 'cunt'.

The Canterbury Tales, which are full of more minor swearwords such as 'shit' and 'piss' though not the tabooed 'cunt' (except in disguised form), were written at the very end of the fourteenth century, thus it seems that 'cunt' was an acceptable term throughout the Middle Ages, becoming taboo during the late fourteenth century. Peter Fryer contends that "it has been avoided in written and polite spoken English since the fifteenth century" (1963). There was almost certainly a period of transition, during which the word's status gradually changed from acceptability to taboo, just as, five hundred years later, it is in transition again, from taboo to acceptability.

This is not a porn site. As usual, eots, you push too far and only serve to reinforce for previous post.

Keep your filth off the board.

I don't agree with "use them or lose them." I think that applies to muscles, brains and balls primarily. Your freedoms are limited by government action. That requires eyes and ears working 100%. It also requires brain to be engaged. It's not necessary to continually exercise a right or freedom to maintain it. If that was so then we'd be voting in an election every bloody week!

Similarly with the right to use a word in the forums. Yes, you apparently have the right, granted to you by the owner. The question is, do you feel the need to use it just because you can? It's sort of reminiscent of the kid who, once he or she gets to the legal drinking age, goes out and gets absolutely pissed off their face. Next morning they're saying, "jeez I wish I hadn't have done that".

People who insist that we must use officially approved non-offending euphemisms to discuss concepts offend me far more than any crude language, personally.

If a word offends you, it is YOUR superego's problem dealing with the subject itself, not the word that is the root source of your discomfort.

If someone is being a prick, we know that we are not saying they are a penis, don't we? We know perfectly well that we mean .. that person is being unpleasant in an open and obviously aggressive way.

If someone is accused of being a cunt we also know that what is meant is that , too. We mean that someone is being unpleasant or unreasonable in a passive-aggressive, probably thoroughly dishonest way.

Useful but complex ideas like that are often assigned vulgar (meaning common, BTW) words that some word police people object to.

What these word police are really objecting to is being called out for their behavior, and they truly imagine if they can take away your shortcut description of them, then they can continue playing their games and there's nothing you can say about it.

Bullshit, says I.

If the word fits use it.
