The "c" word

Betsy Hoffman is saying that her description of the word "cunt" as a term of endearment was taken out of context.

The CU president, a medieval scholar, told the Herald that she was thinking back to the 14th century poet Geoffrey Chaucer.
According to the newspaper, Hoffman said, "I was immediately sorry." She said that the lawyer "kept pushing me. He was very nasty."
"I knew as soon as I said it that it would come out in the papers," Hoffman told the Herald. "I should have said, 'Read Chaucer's The Miller's Tale.


Huh. I've read "The Miller's Tale" and I don't remember it being a sweet little nothing in that story, but I might be off on that. Anyway, god knows we're all certain that the football players sat around reading "The Miller's Tale" and then one of them said, "Hey, I didn't know that 'cunt' was a term of endearment! Wouldn't that be a perfect nickname for our new female teammate? I'm sure she'll love it!"

I hate that word. It's vulgar and it's derogatory. If a man ever calls me one, he will be called needledick in return. Amen.

Why did he think that was appropriate? Was he just angry or did he think it was funny?

Hi matey

I'm sure it was this blog I was reading a while back where someone was looking for an SEO tool for driving more traffic and get more hits for their website.

Anyway, I was speaking to a techi guy at work who gets to know all the latest stuff and he uses the free Link Referral Program at http://marketingexperts.wordpress.com.

His website on 1 home based business amongst other stuff has seen traffic explode since he started using the Link Referral Program - consequently his affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS his website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!

If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)
