CUNTs

It's an old family name, for real.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 54 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I find it perfectly okay. There is no better name. FeNT, CNT, AlNT, CuNT. All perfect. Who cares if one of those strings has another meaning in some language?

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Let's not forget that string is very contextual in some cultures even used as a compliment

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Usually you need more than a bit of contextual string to cover a cunt.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

A single word is all the additional context you need where I'm from

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're a sick cunt mate, you really get it

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You seem like a sound cunt yersel

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago

Fent ain't cunt

Why not CoNan?

[–] Lemming421@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Because it’s not made of cobalt…

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Okay, but why not? Also, why aren't hands instead feet?

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

I mean last I checked nanotube isn't an element. So why does the prefix have to be the atomic symbol?

[–] Phineaz 6 points 4 months ago

I'm guessing it's a derogatory term for the female reproductive organ?

[–] seven_phone@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You subscribe to Hannah I see.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Nope.

[–] seven_phone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Sorry I thought it was your own work not a repost.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Should've gone with CoNan smh.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago

You mean skeleton warriors?
