CUNTs

(I’m Australian, I’m allowed to say that)

It's an old family name, for real.

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?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

Why not CoNan?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because it’s not made of cobalt…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You subscribe to Hannah I see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nope.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Should've gone with CoNan smh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Could be looking for copper pipes...
