Inspired by Vanessa, a chat with my friend (name changed to impugn the non-innocent) about the word "cunt" and its origins:
me: my dict says it might be related to kotze (German?) prostitute
me: and perhaps to old English "cot"
me: for cottage
jad: Etymology: Middle English cunte; akin to Middle Low German kunte female pudenda
jad: pudenda is an icky word, too
me: a cottage.
me: I like that
me: yes, it sounds reptilian
me: my dict. says cunt can also mean coitus
me: which I've never heard
jad: yeah, m-w says that too
jad: I like the word serendipity
me: let's go cunt?
jad: no, let's not
me: was that a good cunt?
jad: oh good lord
me: if we cunt, you might get pregnant?
me: or would you say--if we HAVE cunt
me: because it's a noun.
jad: that sounds wrong
me: do you want to have cunt with me?
jad: to cunt sounds like a verb to me
me: excuse me, ma'am, but do you have cunt on the first date?
me: to cunt does. but it's not "to cunt"
me: it's a noun
me: you can't make it into a different part of speech
me:
jad: sure you can
jad: what about the word fuck?
me: so what are you and Walt going to do with his time off?
me: that's a noun AND a verb
me: cunt isn't
jad: 1 usually obscene : the female pudenda; also : coitus with a woman
me: fuck was probably originally a verb
me: I'm not saying it can't happen; Im just saying YOU can't make it happen
jad: "coitus with" doesn't make it a verb?
me: it has to be widely adopted usage. so there
jad: oh fine
me: no the verb is HAVE
me: as in HAVE coitus
jad: not like I ever want that word in wide usage?
me: have intercourse
jad: ok
jad: I sit corrected
me: you need to do some sentence diagramming
me: I am appalled
jad: apparently lol
me: I know parts of speech aren't taught anymore
jad: though in that SPECIFIC usage, it says "coitus with"
jad: not "have coitus with"
me: yes, because it's a NOUN
me: if it was a verb it would say "have coitus with"
jad: ok, gotcha
me: so you can't have cunt with another man
me: makes sense to me
me: I'm going to go post this discussion
jad: oh great, make me look like a dunce
me: I'll change your name to
me: let's see...

I've also seen the word "cunny" in older english texts. Hmm maybe 15th or 16th century?
