Rather than add to the the swathe of The Avengers Assemble reviews out there (but you can read a very good one here if you’re interested) we thought we’d devote an entire post to the pinnacle of weird insults in pop culture; mewling quim.
Yes, that’s right, a 12A summer blockbuster managed to get the most ROFLsome riposte ever uttered onto the big screen but what does ‘mewling quim’ even mean?
Well a quick Google tells us mewling is:
Pretty straightforward so far, now it gets interesting. According to Wikipedia ‘Quim’ may refer to:
- Vagina (British slang) or vaginal fluid
- Quim (footballer born 1959)
- Quim (footballer born 1975)
- Quim (snooker/pool/billiards term)
Now as much as I believe that comparing someone to a sportsperson should be a grave insult, let’s assume brother of Thor and would-be king Loki was in fact employing the British venacular.
Quim
Now, doing as much research as my firewall would allow, I can confirm ‘quim’ does in fact refer to female genetalia and/or female ejaculation.That’s all well and good but can we hear it in a sentence please? This is where Wikipedia falls down and Urban Dictionary comes into its own. Some Urban Dictionites using quim in action:
- Go eat some quim you fucking quim. (Dr.Know)
- The topiary on her quim was extraordinary! (Bob “A”)
- I love the smell of fresh quim in the morning. (M. Powers)
To conclude, ‘mewling quim’ means: ‘feebly whimpering vagina’ and/or ‘querulously crying female ejactulation’. Now Loki, that’s no way to talk to a lady is it?
