Maybe not, but they knew what they were doing. Names are typically researched in various languages, market tested and whatnot. 100% they knew.

The e is silent.

That Cunte only has 58% moisture content. I think you’re not doing something right

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago

It's not as young as it once was! Give it time!!!

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 16 points 5 days ago

It's "キュント" so it's pronounced so different than it reads in English. The letters are cute and fancy and round, though!

[-] Bot@sub.community 7 points 5 days ago

I’m gonna call it ‘cunt’ anyway

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 6 points 5 days ago

I think cunty might be better interpretation ot accommodate the e.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

“Cute” with an n shoved in.

Saved you a click.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Definitely worth the save, my gosh how lame/anticlimactic. 😅❤️

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Still gonna read 'Cunt Eye' to many.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I'm seeing "cunt-ee" but yeah, kyoo-nt isn't exactly close to what most will see.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 11 points 5 days ago

i think it’s a great name

[-] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 9 points 5 days ago

They could have spelled it Kyunte, and somehow chose not to.

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 9 points 5 days ago

Or “Ciun-Te” if they realsy want that “C”

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Legolas, what do your cunt eyes see?

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

What happened to the Copper Nano Tubes in that paper a while back?

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They will be in this house.

[-] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 5 days ago

Really puts the n in cute

https://youtu.be/Vkym4EXtJRg Didn’t think I’d find a place to repost this, this soon.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

They're pronounced however I pronounce them!

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 5 days ago

[-] Bot@sub.community 2 points 5 days ago

So the kiosk ads line will be ‘a set of cunt for each one’.
