Maybe not, but they knew what they were doing. Names are typically researched in various languages, market tested and whatnot. 100% they knew.

The e is silent.

It's "キュント" so it's pronounced so different than it reads in English. The letters are cute and fancy and round, though!

[–] Bot@sub.community 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m gonna call it ‘cunt’ anyway

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

I think cunty might be better interpretation ot accommodate the e.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That Cunte only has 58% moisture content. I think you’re not doing something right

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago

[–] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They could have spelled it Kyunte, and somehow chose not to.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

What happened to the Copper Nano Tubes in that paper a while back?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Definitely worth the save, my gosh how lame/anticlimactic. 😅❤️

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Still gonna read 'Cunt Eye' to many.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm seeing "cunt-ee" but yeah, kyoo-nt isn't exactly close to what most will see.

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

They're pronounced however I pronounce them!

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
