cunt era
/kʌnt ˈɪərə/
CommonA personal phase of peak confidence, fierceness, and not caring what others think.
In this usage 'cunt' carries the reclaimed queer meaning of fierce, bold, and fabulous, not the slur meaning. Context matters: this is celebratory, not aggressive. Very much a queer-origin term used broadly online.
