A word so vile.....

that our most foul-mouthed family members never say it. Ever.

In a sworn statement to be made public Tuesday, University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman said a four-letter word used toward women can sometimes be used as a "term of endearment." .....But, the spokesperson said, because Hoffman is a medieval scholar, she is aware of the long history of the word. She said it was not always a negative term.

I have never presumed upon hearing this word that the speaker was a medieval scholar.

In the deposition, Hoffman was asked whether the "c-word" is "filthy and vile."


She said she knows the word is a swear word, but "It is all in the context of what--of how it is used and when it is used."


She was asked, "Can you indicate any polite context in which that word would be used?"


Hoffman answered, "Yes, I've actually heard it used as a term of endearment."

She must be hanging out with some classy dudes. That’s one archaic term that I’d hesitate to use as a term of endearment!
