It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Is it a sad panda?
In the UK it frequently gets used as a mocking term of endearment. Somebody cracks a joke at my expense, it's acceptable for me to call them a "funny cnut". Not in front of the local priest or anything though.

Re: It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Alternate word, with potentially just as much venomous meaning for the same thing if deployed in such a way. Where do we stand on "Quim" ??
I was particularly surprised by Loki using it, as in "Mewling Quim" to refer to Natasha in The Avengers. I remember thinking at the time that the censors either didn't know what it meant, or thought it was too olden timey to cause offence.

It's spelled "Knut," by the way.

Re: It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
I'm just curious why the word "pussy" doesn't get as much push-back. It basically means the same thing, but it's my impression that the women who are offended by the c-word aren't as offended by the p-word. Shouldn't the same principle hold for both words, though? Maybe because it's not used in the same manner, even though it refers to the same body part?

It probably has something to do with skimping on the Kegel exercises.Mal Shot First wrote:I'm just curious why the word "pussy" doesn't get as much push-back.

Re: It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Unlike the c-word, "pussy" is usually used in a positive/desirable context, as in "I'd like to get some of that pussy."Mal Shot First wrote:I'm just curious why the word "pussy" doesn't get as much push-back.

Plus we like cats a lot. You could mean cats.

Re: It's Not Alabama This Time, Ladies and Gentlemen!
I already thought of an exception: in the novel and film "Atonement," the c-word is used in sexy dirty talk and becomes a crucial plot point. Leave it to the Brits to expand the term.

I admit that whilst I have used the term pussy (and had it said to me) during amorous adventures, the C word and it's use at such times has been absent in such activities.

I can't believe the Duggars have not been brought up in this thread.

I want a WWE/TLC crossover series called Duggan and Duggars.

Without the actual context in which it was said to you, I can only think of one possible way: "Dalty, stop being a pussy and get working down there."Dalty wrote:I admit that whilst I have used the term pussy (and had it said to me) during amorous adventures, the C word and it's use at such times has been absent in such activities.

But then again, the Brits use the term differently than the Americans.

Anyone who didn't watch that video clip is going to think I am being very rude.
