    I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken about that.

    So, you think that people should only use expressions that are used in the area they come from? That sounds like Republican idea to me. Like Steven Miller's dopey wife who said "Why do we need a Chinatown?"

    But the British say "cunt" all the time now.

    "Cunt" is often used as a disparaging and obscene term for a woman in the United States, an unpleasant or stupid man or woman in the United Kingdom, or a contemptible man in Australia and New Zealand. However, in Australia and New Zealand it can also be
    a neutral or positive term when used with a positive qualifier (e.g., "He's a good cunt"). The term has various derivative senses, including adjective and verb uses.

    In 2006, feminist writer and English professor Germaine Greer argued that "'cunt' is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock."

    Cunt is one of the most offensive and hateful words in the English language. The exact origins of the word cunt are unknown, but it's recorded in the early 1200s as the name of a street in Oxford, England called Gropecuntlane, apparently a reference to
    prostitution. Both Chaucer and Shakespeare made puns on cunt.

    Use of the word as a term of abuse is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.[The word appears not to have been taboo in the Middle Ages, but became taboo towards the end of the eighteenth century, and was then not generally
    admissible in print until the latter part of the twentieth century.

    The etymology of cunt is a matter of debate, but most sources consider the word to have derived from a Germanic word (Proto-Germanic *kunt, stem *kuntn-), which appeared as kunta in Old Norse. Scholars are uncertain of the origin of the Proto-
    Germanic form itself.[9] There are cognates in most Germanic languages, most of which also have the same meaning as the English cunt, such as the Swedish, Faroese and Nynorsk kunta; West Frisian and Middle Low German kunte; another Middle Low German
    kutte; Middle High German kotze (meaning "prostitute"); modern German kott; Middle Dutch conte; modern Dutch words kut (same meaning) and kont ("butt", "arse"); and perhaps Old English cot.

    The etymology of the Proto-Germanic term is disputed. It may have arisen by Grimm's law operating on the Proto-Indo-European root *gen/gon "create, become" seen in gonads, genital, gamete, genetics, gene, or the Proto-Indo-European root *gʷneh₂/guneh
    "woman" (Greek: gunê, seen in gynaecology). Relationships to similar-sounding words such as the Latin cunnus ("vulva"), and its derivatives French con, Spanish coño, and Portuguese cona, or in Persian kos (کُس), have not been conclusively
    demonstrated. Other Latin words related to cunnus are cuneus ("wedge") and its derivative cunēre ("to fasten with a wedge", (figurative) "to squeeze in"), leading to English words such as cuneiform ("wedge-shaped"). In Middle English, cunt appeared with
    many spellings, such as coynte, cunte and queynte, which did not always reflect the actual pronunciation of the word.

    The word, in its modern meaning, is attested in Middle English. Proverbs of Hendyng, a manuscript from some time before 1325, includes the advice:

    Ȝeue þi cunte to cunnig and craue affetir wedding.
    (Give your cunt wisely and make [your] demands after the wedding.)

    I agree 100%.
    "Rock & roll" in 1959 meant anything that was marketed to teenagers,
    including artists like Paul Anka and Bobby Darin who made *mainly* pop
    records, and also including novelty instrumentals like "Quiet Village."
    By today's standards, much of what was called R&R back then...isn't.
    But then again, much of today's music which is referred to as "Pop"
    sounds like R&R to me (e.g. Taylor Swift or the Jonas Brothers).

    "QV" was NEVER known as rock and roll. It's Exotica.

    Didn't mean to. I set it off accidentally when I was telling Bruce that most
    of us liked it despite his strong negative reaction. :)

    Bingo! The definition of a genre keeps changing, so why argue about it.

    I assure you, no one would have said, in 1959, "Oh, that's Space age
    pop." It was played on the Top 40 (or top however-many) radio station,
    aimed at a teenage audience, and thus assumed to be rock & roll.
    I liked it and bought the record.
    Do you think "Witch Doctor" and "Purple People Eater" are R&R? Not now, they're not, but in the 1950s they were lumped into that category
    because R&R was about who they were marketed to, not what they actually
    sounded like.

    First off, I don't agree that it was aimed at a teenage audience. Secondly, lots of stuff on Top 40 radio in those days was not rock and roll and was not aimed at a teenage audience. Big hits like "Calcutta" and "Exodus" and "So Rare" and "Deck Of
    Cards" and "The Three Bells" and "Lonely Street" Andy Williams and "Night" and "The Village Of St. Bernadette" were not rock and roll. As far as what they were "aimed" at, they were aimed at whoever might like it and buy it. Everybody here likes certain
    hits that were not at all rock and roll.

    I liked it and bought the record.

    That proves nothing. You like lots of non rock and roll, like "Smile" by King Cole and "Young At Heart" by Sinatra.

    I'd say both were and still are rock and roll novelties.

    Yes, I like them, but I heard them on my mother's radio station, not on
    WINS or WMGM. That's the point. We referred to the stations that
    catered to young people as rock & roll radio, and we referred to the
    music they played as rock & roll.

    I was too young to listen to Alan Freed and had no older siblings, so I
    never heard of him until he got into trouble...but what he meant by rock
    & roll quickly changed into, as I said, a marketing category.
