Serving cunt

Serving cunt is a term describing behavior that is bold, confident, and assertively feminine. It gained popularity among participants of ball culture, particularly among Black trans women and queer people, who use it to assert feminine superiority. The phrase gained mainstream popularity in the 2010s, experienced surges in the early 2020s, and became a meme in 2023.

Linguistic research on contemporary online English shows that, rather than operating as a fixed phrase, serving cunt also appears alongside related evaluative extensions such as serving cuntdom, serving cuntness, and serving cuntocracy. Studies note that these uses are highly context-dependent and reflect wider patterns of semantic change in internet-mediated language use.
