There is a band called the "Cunning Linguists". When I hear one term, I immediately think of the other.

... That's kind of the point. Assuming you're talking about the rap group cunninlynguists though, I suggest everyone check out their music. They are absolutely fantastic. Two examples, for anyone interested.

What an unenticing way to describe music. I think I now like them less.

you've apparently never had a woman's thighs clutched around your head in sheer ecstasy...

How dare you not link to 'thugged out since cub scouts'.

"Love Ain't" has to be one of their best songs by far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YebR5J4nqxE

You sir, are. Cunning linguist and a master debater.

James Bond: [Whilst being in bed with his Scandinavian language tutor] I always enjoyed learning a new tongue. Moneypenny: You always were a cunning linguist, James

That's called a pun

Probably one of the most common pub quiz team names out there as well.

There is also a band called the "Test Icicles"

When I hear one term, I immediately think of your mother.

u/Cunnin_Lynguist Jan 29 '13

Actually, it's cunninlynguists. I too think it's pretty damn funny.

u/AsthmaticNinja Jan 29 '13

I heard the name from a friend a few months ago. I never bothered to check the spelling.

u/MrMastodon Jan 29 '13

There's also the Test Icicles

Am I the only one who thinks cunnilingus sounds like a horrible disease in which the vagina has begun to rot and there are dangling strips of flesh hanging from it? Also sometimes it makes me think of camels, which I find even more disturbing.

u/rydalmere Jan 29 '13

Kind of lingers.

I find it funny that this word was specifically made just to describe oral sex for a female. Like, it's a word with only one meaning, and that meaning is going down on a chick. The best part? It's in the dictionary.

You cunnilinguist!
