Since I have many feminist friends, I remember them talking about 'taking back' the word cunt.. So I did a little searching and found more about the words history.
So, without further ado,
A brief history of Cunt:
the word itself was originally a term of respect and reverence for a powerful, spiritually enlightened woman.
'Cunt' derives from 'Kunda' or 'Cunti, the Oriental Great Goddess. She was the Great Yoni (vagina) of the Universe, where all life came from and to where all life returned for renewal. From this same name the words country, kin and kind came from.
