Dutch edit
Etymology edit
From Middle Dutch conte (“vagina”, also generally “sex organ”), from Old Dutch *kunta (“vagina”), from Proto-Germanic *kuntǭ. Compare English cunt.
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
kont m (plural konten, diminutive kontje n)
- (informal) butt, bum, arse
- (vulgar) a cunt (an extremely unpleasant or objectionable person)
- (obsolete) cunt, female genitalia
Usage notes edit
- The Middle Dutch sense of cunt (“female genitalia”) has disappeared almost entirely from modern Dutch, save for dialects of Flanders, Groningen, and Friesland; this sense is entirely absent in general speech. The word is not particularly vulgar, being perhaps more equivalent to “butt” than “arse, ass”.
- Among younger speakers, kont has taken on the meaning of “an extremely unpleasant or objectionable person”, which is likely due to the influence of British English cunt with the more vulgar sense.

Pronunciation edit

Usage notes edit
A near-synonym of luu, but they have different connotations. Generally, bones of humans and (larger) mammals can be called either kont or luu, and the bones of everything else are called luu. Compounds are generally formed with luu. Dogs eat kont and not luu. Fish always have luu. The word kont is often used in idioms.
