The C**T and Tit. Nothing held back. She was appalled ticking off what's publicly known about Kav so far such as his friend's book details and yearbook entries.
I don't know if we can use that whole c-word here at DU. Not my style to hold back but figured to err on the side of caution.
Anyhow, this was such a good all-female pane. And on MSNBC daytime, too. A surprise.

(22,037 posts)It's a fact that's in the news. You're not using it derogatorily or maliciously. It's the little nick-name for their asshole club.
It always seems odd when someone writes, "f**k." I know what word they mean so why not just write it?

(82,849 posts)Please, let us show some decorum and call it properly: The "rhymes with flit" and "rhymes with bit" club. Someone please think of the children! We can't be using such language in connection with the magisterial selection of an associate justice for the Supreme Court, even if the nominee himself was a proud member.
