C-word

The c-word (cunt) is delivered here with a kind of despairing calm, as if the cuntishness of the British c-words (cunts) was just a sad matter of fact.

Nor can federal AIDS educators bring themselves to mention the c''' word, condom, a strange reticence not shared by any other Western government except that of Catholic Ireland. The CDC has gone through bizarre contortions to avoid naming the, uh, latex device.

So, the term craft is now tainted. It’s association with weird beer imbibed by stuck up people is going to be hard one to shake. Anyone with that connection in their mind is instantly going to shut down when the c-word is mentioned.
