I wholeheartedly agree with Fultonius' comments in another thread about "not so subtle reference to female body bits (is just, well, shite)".

It's a word I find pretty grotesque and offensive. Personally, I try to restrict myself to use of the other four letter "C" word. If I'm going to make some derogatory inference to reproductive organs, they can at least be my own

The following may provide some amusement.
Never heard of Cummingtonite

That's brilliant, thanks for posting!

I think people can be labelled cunts - as they can be labelled pricks or arseholes (or all three!) - without any misogynistic inference on the part of the cunt-speaker. Plus it's all in the context, cunt can both be a wonderful thing or a name-tag for the scummiest scum of humanity. What a great vessel cunt is to be able to hold all that meaning in four letters. God bless cunt and all that sail in her. (Is it misogynistic to infer ships are female?).

just makes me think of the seminal copper nanotubes paper

The structural, energetic and electronic properties of chiral (n, m) (3⩽n⩽6, n/2⩽m⩽n) single-wall copper nanotubes (CuNTs) have been investigated by using projector-augmented wave method based on density-functional theory. The (4, 3) CuNT is energetically stable and should be observed experimentally in both free-standing and tip-suspended conditions, whereas the (5, 5) and (6, 4) CuNTs should be observed in free-standing and tip-suspended conditions, respectively. The number of conductance channels in the CuNTs does not always correspond to the number of atomic strands comprising the nanotube. Charge density contours show that there is an enhanced interatomic interaction in CuNTs compared with Cu bulk. Current transporting states display different periods and chirality, the combined effects of which lead to weaker chiral currents on CuNTs.

Surely you mean Semenal?

A good excuse for me to post this semolinal track:



Hearing this at ear-shredding volume in a dark basement in Bristol at the notorious Death Row Techno events was quite a thing. Incidentally the "CUNT FACE" sample it's based around isn't the nastiest thing on it, that comes samples of actual threats of violence.

How quaint.

[Fiend]

Vintage really! A bit like the term cunt, it seems....

[DAVETHOMAS90]

Hmm. Hasn't gone quite as imagined.. 


Edit: Fiend, was that at The Dugout?
Ended up there one night in the P'ing rain, as a fresh faced youth in the mid-eighties.

No no, it's gone perfectly 

DRT was at The Depot. Proper low key grot iirc. One of my earliest clubbing experiences along with dutch hardcore nights at The Doncaster Warehouse.

There was a gay Countess of Bray,
And you may think it odd when I say,
That in spite of her station,
Rank and education,
She always spelled cunt with a K.

When were you at the BYO? 

"I'm leaving on a jet plane; don't know when I'll be back again.." 

Did we talk about this some other time?
A.m.a.zing nights.

I remember when we all got pulled by the DS, just after we'd .. eaten our sandwiches
