- WiseWeasel, on 07/10/2009, -0/+54Sure, I can tell you how to get to Gropecunt Lane; just take a left at Cockgobbler Street and it's the one after Thatsnolady Way.
FTA: "Gropecunt was last recorded as a street name in 1561."
This makes me a saaaad panda. - ZombieSociety, on 07/11/2009, -0/+32"Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and *****."
Holy *****, really? - Nikobelia, on 07/09/2009, -0/+25And today's lesson, boys and girls, is that your generation wasn't actually the first to discover the four-letter words your parents tell you off for using. They come from the oldest part of the English language: Anglo-Saxon. Now, can anyone take a guess what the euphemism "country matters" meant during the Renaissance?
- aralls, on 07/11/2009, -2/+21"Gropecunt" is a perfectly cromulent word if you ask me; its usage embiggens us all.
- cyrusuncc, on 07/09/2009, -0/+14Ah, a simpler time when you go go to Market street to get some fruit or Gropecunt Lane to get... you know.

- YoctoYotta, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1To the contrary my friend, I implore you to grope the next ***** you see, any female on the street will do. You will be surprised at how grope-able ***** are. If the semantics of the terminology is whats giving you pause, perhaps try approaching the action as "rubbing slit."
