Hah! I remember that, it's from our very own Glasgow Feminist Network! A member made those stickers and we sold them at a V-Day event, they were... rather popular! I have one on my computer.

I like the words cunt and chick a lot. My liberated neighbor used chick and I picked it up from her.

I'm a fan of Tina Fey's slogan, "Bitch is the new black" too. Hee hee

I love using whore. Sometimes slut or hoe bag. I use them often and to any gender for happy occasions. It's playful and loving.

I like chick but prefer dame.

I like chick but prefer dame.

I prefer cunt to pussy. (Although, as a friend of mine pointed out, they taste the same). Pussy derives from the Anglo-Saxon word for pouch or sheath and is therefore very dick-centric. Cunt comes for the Sumerian word for wedge-shaped (like cuneiform), referring to the external shape of a vulva. It's not great, but it is a better definition.

You see...I think "cunt" has been reclaimed in a positive way... but not so much whore, slut, and hoe bag... I dont think those have been reclaimed positively the way cunt has. Maybe in part because as we've reclaimed cunt, we dont use it to call each other cunts... but we do that with whore, slut and hoe bag. I cannot STAND hearing girls/women calling each other those things... and not to obsess over Tina Fey here, but:

"You all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it ok for guys to call you sluts and whores."
(From "Mean Girls")

Thunder Thighs! I know those two words have given women piles of crap for being big/fat/whatnot but I'm using them for strong legs.

i grew up in a household that was verbally abusive towards my mother, so i have a lot of hangups as far as reclaiming words goes. i love cunt, i've been using it for over a decade. however, when i try to branch out my "reclaiming," i have trouble. bitch is very difficult for me, because of negative connotations with my childhood. i can call guys a "bitch" but never a woman.

i've been slowly introducing "faggot" into my vocabulary more, if that counts.

I stuck that sticker! Go me! Woop woop! It's on Kelvinbridge in Glasgow, Scotland.

Anyway - I like using cunt to refer to a cunt, though in Glasgow it's used to refer to anyone and everything, kind of interchangeable with person. An example...

"Some daft cunt has stuck a sticker about cunts on the bridge."

Which I don't mind too much - using cunt as an insult is not cool, though.

Other words that feminists have claimed to have reclaimed, e.g. bitch and whore... er, what? No one else knows you're being ironic. A slang word for your genitals is NOT the same as words used to denigrate and humiliate women, like bitch and whore. Those words are never cool, regardless of whether they come from feminist lips.

My family, feminists all, has long used the affectionate definition of "bitch" - "a woman who just got her way."

I like dyke. My friends (who are queer and/or trans folks) and I use it a lot. Older lgbt people often have really negative associations with dyke, queer and fag so we are more careful about our word useage in public, so as not to make them uncomfortable or to create a climate where people think homophobia is happening.

"My my darling you look positively dyke-tastic this morning"

"My girlfriend is a dyke-a-lious hotty"

"We are dykes"

I enjoy 'tranny', but to mean strength or energy, like "Well I'm wicked tired but I just gotta tranny-up and do it." Or "Channel your inner tranny and go for it!"

I'm not sure how that came about and I'm sorry if it offends anyone, but it makes me giggle and I mean it in a flattering way.

Bitch, hands down. I have been referring to myself as a bitch for more than 20 years.

Cunt, bitch, dyke, and queer.

Vagina has its charms, but it's something of a vowel mouthful. I don't like "pussy" because my pussy's a cat. "Cunt" is like a little aggressive grunt, but it's the best of the given words for what's between our legs.

I don't know why I like "bitch." It's pleasant-sounding, and female dogs just aren't the insults they used to be.

Dyke and queer: Queer is definitely being taken back, and it's such a politically and socially charged word. Also, any word with a Q is awesome in my book. "Dyke" is another word that just sounds good, like "bitch." It's not quite the mouthful that "lesbian" is, although I use "lesbian" just about as much.

evisiblewoman: maybe this is because of our vastly different locations, but at least in my part of the US, "cunt" is used as an insult just as much as bitch or whore. I've never heard it used in a positive or even neutral light when referring to a person. I do, however, enjoy using the word "cunt" when I'm writing erotica/porn. Very hot, sexy term for me.

Personally, I'm a big fan of bitch and queer. However there's also, for me, power in using terms like vagina when I'm around people who have no idea how to talk intelligently about the human body. I always like to use the most specific, correct terminology in any conversation, and sometimes you have to call a vagina a vagina!

Ass-hole. Long used on men only, as "bitch" covered the female side of things. But "bitch" has long since been reclaimed. So I'm snatching up "ass-hole" and using it on rude/ignorant persons everywhere!

I can appreciate the effort that goes into reclaiming words, but that doesn't mean I will use them except when I am feeling mean and angry. Since I don't like myself when I am mean and angry, I prefer not to use those words. Power to those who can, though!

I like "dyke" and "queer". They fit my sexual orienation better than "bisexual", "gay", or "lesbian", as I guess you could say I'm mostly lesbian, but reverse bi-curious. Or something.

i use bitch a lot, but only for dudes. (but NOT in a feminizing way like some dudes use it- like, "don't be such a little bitch"). I mean, when a dude cuts me off in traffic, i think to myself, c'mon bitch, move!"...that never happens when women cut me off. i do call myself a bitch in an empowering way, though.

also, i greatly enjoy using the words 'cunt' and 'dyke' (i agree with soupchef- it's a more accurate term for me, too).

i think the best reclaimed word, though, is queer. i think it is inclusive and incredibly powerful, replaces the alphabet soup when referring to lgbtqiaftmmtfts... people, and in many contexts it implies a political and activist orientation.

That would be 'slut', of course.

I know that this isn't reclaiming, but I do tell people to suck my girlballs a lot. It confuses them.

Cunt! And I'm helping reclaim it by having my "Cunt Coloring Book" by Betty Dotson out on the coffee table during all gatherings.

I've tried to stop saying bitch (as an insult) and replacing it with asshole. I works lovely, and is more to the point.

Love the dame term mentioned above! My personal favorites are asshole for all, cunt used in a variety of respectful ways, and "she's got pussy/cunt/clit" in place of "s/he's got balls" (denoting an act of reckless courage). The last one makes people think about gendered language and brings up the topic of why female words make people so uncomfortable.

Along the lines of the mudflap-girl logo, I saw a mudflap logo the other day that was an overweight man in profile, but in the same pose. I was giggling for the next hour or so.

I love Bitch. I think it started when my friend got me a subscription to the magazine and ever since then I only use it in fond terms. I have trouble with cunt though....I don't know what it is. My old male roommate always used it to refer to something rude that someone did, so it was hard for me to reclaim it in a positive way. I always use Vagina instead, though. All the time. I really dislike using other words to describe my vagina, so I use it proudly. I have a shirt that says 'Vagina, Vagina, Vagina (that wasn't so hard, was it?)' and my mom pointed it out to my dad when I was home one weekend...he didn't find it as amusing as I do, but he didn't tell me never to wear it in his house again either, so I figure that's gotta be something.
