A week or two ago I heard a report of someone filming themselves on T Crack with a drone and shouting "CUNT!" on each failed attempt
I initially wrote this off as typical Sheffield grit boulderers superiority chat; probably trying to make fun of southerners like they do round here.
However, this week I was near there myself and could hear the gentle whine of what I think was a drone. It was pretty quiet compared to the drones I am used to hearing around Burbage valley and Stanage, so I didn't feel my usual need to stride over and start an argument - in fact, I was intrigued to see if this was the Cunty Drone Man. I asked Dolly if he could hear the whining possible drone noise - he could.
The main thing we could hear was a willow warbler singing away - a bit like a male chaffinch with a funny accent. All of a sudden we heard the familiar THWUMP of a body hitting foam - swiflty followed by a loud "CUNT!".
This was too much for us. We lay face down on our mats crying with laughter at the realisation that Cunty Drone Man was probably real.
As it happens, we were having too much fun climbing rough brown rocks to investigate further; and actually it felt better to leave the myth uninvestigated.
Has anyone else heard Cunty Drone Man?
How does he keep his drone so quiet?
Has he done T Crack yet?
Is there more than one CDM?
I am not interested in identifying or "outing" CDM; rather, I think we should celebrate him in all his cuntitude.
-
This still makes me laugh too much :)
We heard a goldfinch and raven as well although we would probably have heard that anyway as it was so loud
-
If CDM is reading this and you haven't done TCrack yet, I would like to offer up this for next time you are on it
"Come on Cunty! You've got this!"
-
I just Googled. Perhaps CDM is using something like this https://shotkit.com/quietest-drones/
It's great that drones are getting quieter since for me it's just the noise that pisses me off.
I'm all for a bit off passion and emotional investment - I'm rootin' for Cunty too! (but I guess best to avoid offending passers by).

You suspect this might have been a copycunt?

As long as they aren't playing loud CDM through a BT speaker, I for one support their efforts.

Sometimes though a cultural moment leads independent individuals to make uncannily similar expressions of great artistic genius or intellectual leaps forward.
Think of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci; or Leibniz and Newton; or Wallace and Darwin; or Kalecki and Keynes.

Cunty Dance Music, an offshoot of EDM.

Can you you blind taste the difference between evain and volvic?
Drone or merely a portable airflow cooling device? They're equally in fashion and the tree coverage above t crack doesn't make for a good cutaway.
Its just occurred to me that a close friend formerly of this parish has a house in spitting distance from Robin Hoods and can be quite hard on himself, with cvnt being the go to chastisement. I'll enquire

Ooh, I hadn't thought of it being a fan. I was going on the previous report.
I'm not sure I've actually heard a fan at the crag yet, so wouldn't know without looking

What exceptional wit you demonstrate Tom, that response makes possibly even less sense than had you simply written, the equally original, “so’s your mum.”
I trust Stone will now call you out for being a despicable bully and remonstrate with you, as per the other thread.

That's all well and good, but how does Cunty Drone Man compare to his possible arch nemesis or even alter-ego Droney Cunt Man?? Slithering into your quiet, peaceul, multiple-angle filmed in 4K HD via SurroundDrone(tm) sending session and blethering on his inane droning monologue about useless micro-beta, esoteric conditions fussiness, arbitrary and arcane problem rules, and something tedious about "Back when I used to warm-up on this..."
Which is worse? Are they ever seen together? If they meet will it be a catastrophic matter vs anti-matter implosion of cuntitude??

As an adult woman, I would like to join in to say that while I'm not mad keen on "cunt" as a term of abuse, "Cunty Drone Man" is delightfully euphonious.
I'm glad we're all feeling so connected to the simple wonders of nature and local folklore (the song of the willow warbler, the hum of the drone, the loud shouts of "CUNT" as someone falls off again ...), and I hope that Cunty Drone Man can remain a mystery to delight and entrance us all.

It seems an appropriate place to post this:
[TED Talks Daily] An honest history of an ancient and "nasty" word | Kate Lister #tedTalksDaily
https://podcastaddict.com/ted-talks-daily/episode/121217380 via @PodcastAddict
I don't often use the word 'cunt' because most people see it as a highly offensive term, however personally I don't have any issues with it.
As per the link above, the etymology is less derogatory than the other common terms for female genitalia, which usually come from something like 'sheath', i.e. a place to put a sword. The word also has a wonderfully satisfying sound to it.
I'm also a fan of this thread and have enjoyed the myth of CDM :2thumbsup:

I came here to find out whomever the piper standing in Princes St covering Badly Drawn Boy was, but instead found peak UKB as per usual ;D :tumble:

I don’t particularly like the word and the way it is used in the present, regardless of its history. But, in the main, I wass mainly just using this thread to demonstrate that it’s not always very clear what is and is not offensive to different people. And that stepping in to “do the right thing” is rarely as clear cut as some people seem to think.
As an adult woman, I would like to join in to say that while I'm not mad keen on "c***" as a term of abuse, "C***y Drone Man" is delightfully euphonious.
I certainly didn’t mean to imply that males have a monopoly on puerile behaviour, simply that only men (AFAIK) had up to that point participated.
Carry on.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cunty
The word 'cunty' was reclaimed by the queer voguing scene of the late 80s, and popularised in that idiom by Beyoncé's seminal 2022 album Renaissance.
Keep up Tony.

If T-Crack was 8B, the unmasking of drone cunt would be a relatively simple deductive process. Cross referencing any number of ‘8B wad’ drone cunts operating in the area known for their proclivity for swearing with recent social media postings and the 8B list floating around. Drone cunt isn’t an individual.
-
The word 'c***y' was reclaimed by the queer voguing scene of the late 80s, and popularised in that idiom by Beyoncé's seminal 2022 album Renaissance.
So you’re saying UKB is a hang out of the queer voguing scene? Or that many users are guilty of cultural appropriation?
That said, that hasn’t been the word used on many occasions. Also, many posts in the thread, including the initial post, are fair enough. But quite a lot would appear purely for the titillation of their author, simply because of the word in question.
Had the word been “runt”, I posit that there would have been significantly less interest, despite being equally “euphonious” in any sonic sense.

Wow, I can't believe it. Guys, you've actually managed it. This is officially the most boring thread to ever be created on here. Congratulations!

To be fair, I'm not sure Cunty Drone Man can be said to be "serving cunt." I suspect it would probably be more linguistically correct to say that he is "serving bouldering twat realness".

Yes, "dirty" words have a certain kick to them. Which comes partly from other people's impulse to tut about this puerile and boring behaviour.
On the other hand, as someone who is frequently Droneless Falling Off While Shouting "Fuck" Woman, I don't feel like I can lay claim to any of Cunty Drone Man's special charm. Being foul-mouthed alone doesn't cut it.

That pricked Tony's bubble.

Now Pete, don’t be so premature with your interjections.

If a person chooses to get their “kicks” by offending others, what does that say about a person?
Shouting anything whilst (repeatedly) failing on your current project shows a lack of self-control and is penalised in many competition sports. Frankly, I think people (inc. Ondra) should be embarrassed by such behaviour. It’s just climbing a bit of arbitrary rock. Get a grip.

(repeatedly) failing on your current project [snip]. Get a grip.
Very good.. chapeau.

So harsh and judgemental. Poor Cunty Drone Man, he's probably trying really hard.
-
So harsh and judgemental.
Opinionated, yes; judgemental, I don’t think so. I did write, “I think”. The judgemental part only concerns whether one considers shouting while falling off as demonstrating a lack of self-control. I would suggest it either demonstrates a lack of self-control or an excessive egotism/arrogance. Take your pick.
-
If a person chooses to get their “kicks” by offending others, what does that say about a person?
N.B. that I said nothing about the kick coming from offending others.
The value of swear-words as expressions of strong emotion may come partly from their being socially taboo, but (for example) if I burn myself on a hot pan and say "fuck!" while in my flat on my own, that has nothing to do with "offending others". Nor am I "getting my kicks" out of it.
And if a person chooses to repeatedly come into the thread with a swear-word in the title in order to be offended that it contains swearing, what does that say about them?
-
I’m confused as your original intervention was railing against the thread itself:
Wow! A thread for adult men to -ostensibly- find amusement in typing the c-word and variations thereof.

I don’t think anyone was condoning swear-shouting when people fall off. I expect many of the adults on the thread would agree with you that’s it’s not on and a bit embarrassing if that was your point.
Or are you just moving the debate on to a supplementary point?

Please fucking well consider helping to fund a fucking replacement bridge at Cunt-brook Mill by donating to the PDNP Foundation's fundraiser for this at: https://shorturl.at/cesz8
You cunts can also donate by:
Bank transfer to ‘Peak District National Park Foundation’, sort code 20-10-71, account 63364895, Barclays Bank, quoting Cunt-brook Bridge
Cheque made payable to Peak District National Park Foundation with your cuntact details and marked Cunt-brook Bridge to Aldern House, Baslow Road, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1AE
However, if you fuckers want to add gift aid (giving them an additional 25%), you’ll need to email them for a gift aid form to complete.
Nice one to all those fucking cunts who have already donated.
Works for me :shrug:

Yeah - that was my impression. It would have been much simpler for Tony to state at the beginning "please don't use the word C*nt, I don't like it" instead of steering the conversation towards the topic in a rather strange way.
Oh well.
-
N.B. that I said nothing about the kick coming from offending others.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
So why is you think that so many people might have an “impulse to tut about the puerile and boring behaviour” of the usage of such words or find them “socially taboo” in the first place?
And if a person chooses to repeatedly come into the thread with a swear-word in the title in order to be offended that it contains swearing, what does that say about them?
That they enjoy winding up such fools that may rise to the bait?

Pick a lane Tony

Middle lane c**t??

I think Tony might just fucking love a cunting good argument?

I dunno mate. A good curse is liberating and this Bowdlerising of everything is going too far:

If anything I've said in this thread has given you the impression that I'm a fucking lady, clearly I need to try harder.
So why is you think that so many people might have an “impulse to tut about the puerile and boring behaviour” of the usage of such words or find them “socially taboo” in the first place?
Since you go on to claim it's because you're deliberately winding up people you consider to be "fools" -- too much time on your hands, I have to assume.
