    Cunt goes back a lot further than Chaucer, there was a Gropecunt Lane in London well over a hundred years before he was born. Probably Germanic, although a friend of mine insists it is Irish by invention and comes from a pouch women used to hang around their waist to keep seed in when sowing in the fields. There was a program on TV about the word a couple of years ago which basically said it is only offensive amongst the middle classes. It only became highly offensive at the start of the 20th Century when it became a derogatory term for a woman, not because of what it actually referenced.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

    He also talks about swiving which is much older. [EDIT: I Just read Keith entry which also mentions swiving - I think it should be the CP term from now on.]

      I love the middle-ages (except the disease, poverty, lack of freedoms etc :-) ) just because they did things like this. c*** was definitely used by the Anglo-Saxons, the OED (who has etymologists working on such things) say it is Germanic, so it probably is. The purse thing probably isn't the origin, the purses were probably named that due to a similarity or something.

          If it was someone I didn't know I would be highly offended but, since it is only you and I know you are an ignorant cunt (love the irony of stringing those 2 words together) I'm not at all bothered... :-)

            Reading up on this stuff years ago I also remember references to women (most likely prostitutes) who had the word cunt incorporated in their surnames somehow. Sally Widecunt and so on. Gropecunt lane was probably an area of prostitution.

                Depends what you want to do. But I think they were named by others.

                      There is a lot of this kind of misunderstanding about this word; 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' is another one. But its most likely to come from an old Norse dialect word 'fukka', 'copulate' which is similar to old Swedish, 'focka' of the same meaning. Given that Scandanavians dominated the north of England for centuries and gave a lot of words and gramatical features to English it is propbable they gave us this word too.

                      Never heard the word being used in any other meaning than to get someone fired. But it means kick or thrust, so I guess it makes sense.

                        Its been a long time since you guys were in England! Meanings have probably drifted since then. :)

                          It does involve a lot of thrusting, so it doesn't seem to to have drifted that much. A sidenote: It was the Norwegians and Danes that went to the British isles. The Swedish vikings went east to found Russia. Rus is a word of Finnish origin that designate the Swedes.

                                      From where the most spoken word FUCK came in existence. In Encient England people could not have sex without the king's Permission, So to have a baby they had to get the King's consent to have sex. They were given card to hang on the door while doing it. It is said "Fornication Under Consent of the King(FUCK)" thus the word FUCK came. I think CP doesn't have validation of word in Subject line

                                      Mildly amusing, completely wrong.

                                      Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash
