This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Especially since cunt isn't even a swearword in English.
It is definitely an American who censored it.
It's an odd one because it wasn't even a word in common usage until about 50 years ago, so I don't understand where the Americans got their attitude from since it appears to have been entirely self-generated.
From Wikipedia
It goes back to at least the year 1230, and was excluded from the OED from the 18th century until 1960. So it wasn't just Americans.
It's practically punctuation here in Scotland.
