Rihanna’s Cunt Pisses People Off

23-year-old Rihanna was spotted in Beverly Hills, heading to a nearby studio, rocking a controversial necklace that read “cunt.” When the photo hit, a few media outlets and parent groups, made comments of how inappropriate and offensive the word is. According to Wiki (yes, I looked it up), cunt is:

“a vulgarism, primarily referring to the female genitalia, specifically the vulva, and including the cleft of Venus. The earliest citation of this usage in the 1972 Oxford English Dictionary, c 1230, refers to the London street known as Gropecunt Lane. Scholar Germaine Greer has said that “it is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock.”

You are welcome for that English lesson!
