It's an old family name, for real.

I find it perfectly okay. There is no better name. FeNT, CNT, AlNT, CuNT. All perfect. Who cares if one of those strings has another meaning in some language?

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Let's not forget that string is very contextual in some cultures even used as a compliment

Usually you need more than a bit of contextual string to cover a cunt.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

A single word is all the additional context you need where I'm from

Because it’s not made of cobalt…

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Okay, but why not? Also, why aren't hands instead feet?

I mean last I checked nanotube isn't an element. So why does the prefix have to be the atomic symbol?

[–] Phineaz@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

I'm guessing it's a derogatory term for the female reproductive organ?

Sorry I thought it was your own work not a repost.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago
