    I work a trade in the US, and if something is a little off, it’s a cunt hair off. But that’s the most common place I hear it.

      That’s ridiculous. My cunt has the thickest hairs on my body. If it’s a little off it should be a belly hair off. Fuckers are just like “ha you’re still a mammal so one of us will slightly darken from time to time”
