[QUOTE=twickster] Sorry, badly phrased. I was agreeing with **elelle** that your phrasing, as reported by you, had the same effect on me as if you’ would have had an encounter with a black person and described your reaction by using the word “nigger.” Thus the “would” in my post. I’m not saying that you have actually used that word, and I apologize for setting that hypothetical as though you had. [/QUOTE] You do get, don’t you, that I didn’t call her a cunt? I have rarely used that word as a direct insult, and only when I really meant to wound. You should probably read it again. And listen to some Derek and Clive for a little desensitization. (And I wanna say it was Lisa Lampanelli who used that phrase, “punched her in the cunt,” in one of those Comedy Central Roasts. Shatner maybe?) And this will surprise you; it surprised me: [166](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22punched+her+in+the+cunt%22&btnG=Google+Search) hits. ---

Well, I’ll continue, becuse that 'Kicking in the Cunt" is really as stunningly nasty as calling anyone a really obnoxious old school perjorative. I see it as simply dumb, so would like any other explaination as to why it’s funny. Really. just explain why it is; I’m open to a wide breadth of interpretation. ---

If it’s funny it’s funny; if it’s not, an explanation will not make it funny. Lavenderviolet “got” it, so that’s really all the explanation you need. OTherwise, browse the google hits, if you’re really that interested. It was funny the time I heard it, and it was funny (to me) at the time that I wrote the OP. End of a pretty insignificant story, until twix manufactured a tempest out of thin air; she still seems to think I either called the woman a cunt, or actually assaulted her. ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] Why are you so offended that someone called you that? It’s not you’ve never called anyone that, right? [/QUOTE] Eh? That doesn’t follow. If you call someone a pejorative, it doesn’t follow that you would want to be called that yourself. But I don’t get that he’s offended, or even that it’s not necessarily accurate. . .just that no one has brought up cites. I’m hoping that someone brings up some cites. I was curious enough to look at his old posts. I didn’t see anything obvious. I did chortle at a few of his posts though. So there’s that. ETA: Oh, and your interchange is amusing me, so there’s that too. ---

In the case for equality, Kick in the cunt would equal a kick in the balls, I’d think. And, so, if you were reading the OP thread and saw **lissener** saying, '“Of course, I kicked that idiot in the balls”, what would be your response? Too much for a customer who asked the wrong question? Sorry, it really seems too mean and stupid, not funny at all, with a mind that is very open-ended, black-humored, and wide margined. I was hoping someone could tell me why it was really funny, but, guess it’ll have to wait. ---
