11. It sucks that there's a stigma in this country against that word.

I had some Australian friends who used that word all the time, always in fun and jest, and never in its original context. For them, that word ALWAYS described a foolish person.

Here's hoping that one day, "c*nt" finally gets the same transformative treatment that the word "gay" got over my lifetime. "Gay" used to mean happy or carefree. That was, literally, that word's only meaning. And now it refers solely to a sexual identity.
