It was used to refer to a woman, but in a sweet, innocent way in the middle ages and for hundreds of years after. <BR/><BR/>"Twat" is old Norse, though. So it's accurate. Care to use "twat"? :-) Ugh! I really do dislike that one!Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1155927508168170752006-08-18T18:58:00.000+00:002006-08-18T18:58:00.000+00:00I know, it's hard to get past the use of it as an ...I know, it's hard to get past the use of it as an insult. It's not easy to see it any way other than as a degrading word. I just think we should try, because it is a useful word. :-) But I do understand. And you know, it occured to me last night--when I use it in sex scenes, it's always SEX scenes. I don't use it in my more romantic love scenes, just in the down-and-dirty ones. <BR/><BR/>Unconscious prejudice, or another example of choosing words carefully? <BR/><BR/><BR/>I am really pleased it made you guys think, though-that's the best kind of flattery in the world!

It's when it is spoken as an insult that gets me.<BR/><BR/>Calling me a cunt to my face equates to a desire to lose a few teeth. But write it all you want, and I'll happily read it! :-)<BR/><BR/>(I don't like the p-word at all, written or spoken. I prefer cunt. I'm going to make a bumper sticker that says "I prefer cunt" and park my ass out in front of the ultra-zealous Lighthouse church. :-)s.w. vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102544611773720262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1155908638246305582006-08-18T13:43:00.000+00:002006-08-18T13:43:00.000+00:00I agree with Robyn and JTC.

Are we getting into damascene rose territory here?)Chaucer may have implied, the present context as used by much of society is degrading and contemptuous; and, like the race-rumbles, I'm not going to touch this usage (and try to re-habilitate it) with a ten-foot pole either.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1155904526275065422006-08-18T12:35:00.000+00:002006-08-18T12:35:00.000+00:00Excellent article, december.

When I here it or even read it most of the time it is in the context that robyn so eloquently described. In fact, I used in that context just yesterday when a cu, er, woman was so busy dialing her cell phone she ran a stop sign and almost killed me (an 800 lb bike is no match for an Escalade). So, I think that is why most women are offended by the word -they tie it to that unflattering word (bitch).<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I would say use the word any way you want, any time you want. If people don't like it, then they can read something else.<BR/><BR/>As for the topic you brought up in this blog, I agree also. Sometimes (way too often) people use their socioeconomic background as an excuse for failure and that really grinds my gears. -JTCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1155856438967974032006-08-17T23:13:00.000+00:002006-08-17T23:13:00.000+00:00Nice article, but I don't think I'll ever be okay ...Nice article, but I don't think I'll ever be okay with the "C" word. Mostly, because I've heard it used not as a descriptive term for genitalia, but as an insult aimed at women that's waaaaay worse than b*tch. Usually said by men. Like "you useless skanky bedhopping didn't shower between your daily 20 bangs whore" kind of insult. I don't know that I could make the jump from that to 'ooh, she's hot' no matter what Chaucer said. ;)Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857307804942257484noreply@blogger.com
