[from Ted Sas]
When I was in my twenties, I was going out with a Hungarian girl whose parents worked at the Hungarian Embassy in London. Her mother's English was not good - but okay for casual chatting.
One evening the mother turned to me and asked, “What is this word cunt mean?”
I was floored by how to answer that - my mind raced, and to get time I asked, “How do people say this word to you?” Her reply was, “In the shops, people say, 'I cunt help you at the moment, I have other customers.'”
Whewwww! That was one of those time when slowing down the conversation saved so much possible aggravation and confusion.
