of the flap surrounding the U. of Colorado female president defending the use of the word "cunt" because it was a term of endearment back in Chaucer's day?
haha, yes, although i don't think it was via English-major channels. although maybe the only reason i was surfing the site that mentioned it is because of my literaryiciousness.
i'm actually not hugely informed about it! did you just read a piece on it you can link?
I don't see anything wack about what she said. She just said it is POSSIBLE to use as a non-offensive term, which is I guess true, but never said or meant to imply that the stupid rapist thug football player meant it in the Chaucerly sense.
well it does show a wonderfully retarded sense of political correctness. she had to know what to say even if she didn't agree with it, or even if in Chaucer's day it was cool.
