      Yeah, they’re shit - pissbaby, chucklefuck, all that other saccharine bullshit. Just call a cunt a cunt and be done with it. I know it’s offensive to women’s wonderful genitals but it’s so percussive.

        As if the women who complain about the word cunt have never used dick or dickhead as an insult.

      Well it’ll be awhile before the six letter f-word or the r word are allowed again
