      I have colleagues from Romania to Italy… cunnilingus is very much seen that way with their culture.

        There’s also “cunt”, which (depending on your English accent mainly) can be considered perhaps more offensive than “dick”.

        We Finns also use “vittu” very much in the same way English uses “fuck”, but “vittu” translates more or less directly to “cunt”. “Fuck you” in Finnish would be “haista vittu”, which translates to “sniff a cunt”. But just like the English “fuck you”, the actual meaning of the words isn’t the meaning in the context of telling someone to bugger off.

        And there, see, “bugger”, latent homophobia again.

        In circles we go, from homophobia to misogyny.

          Its weird, but in private conversation to mates etc we use “cunt” and “bugger” a lot. Its general banter down here, though it doesnt get said professionally, in front of kids etc. They’re working class words here

            It’s really not weird, was my point. Unless you’re American? In America, in an American accent, “cunt” is very hard to utilise as a term of endearment. With Aussies? Zero problem.

      There are a couple terms used pejoratively against lesbians that reference that.
