No, no. You being a total cunt is what makes you a cunt. Saying things like that almost makes you not a cunt. You see?

Probably not. Cunt.

knox 01.27.2010 03:35 PM
obviously there are many types of cunt out there.

Rob Instigator 01.27.2010 03:50 PM
truth, some have large labia, a butterfly shape even, some have small outer labia, some are purple, some are pink, some are dark brown with red inside, some are hairy, some are loose, then there are the magic ones that work it like a piston....

knox 01.27.2010 03:51 PM
type 1 catalogued.

Glice 01.27.2010 03:52 PM
C'mon Rob. No-one uses the sacred and holy word 'cunt' to refer to minge any more. Get with the times, man! You're ruining a perfectly good word.

Rob Instigator 01.27.2010 05:34 PM
minge?

ginge minge?

Is dropping the word "syntax" the Get Out of Jail Free card for people who are given short shrift over their poor grasp of grammar?

generally speaking, when people speak foreign languages, specially for a long time, grammar is not their main problem, mostly it is their uncommon use of syntax that native speakers find strange.

that is because someone's speech is conditioned by the syntax of their first language. Of course, all of us make efforts to adapt our speech to the context.

i suppose you would understand that better if you spoke any foreign languages fluently.

but, since you have given me precious advice, here's the retribution: when you go to uni the know-it-all attitude won't be very helpful.

You teach foreign languages, then.

interesting choice. Even more interesting that you knew what an owl was and could differentiate between birds at that age. perhaps a child prodigy. :)

knox 01.28.2010 01:34 PM
underpaid.

knox 01.28.2010 01:34 PM
