I hate to be a pedant, again, but this is absolute nonsense!
Cnt is an ancient word whose meaning has changed as little as its sound. Cnt derives from the old English c*nte, and that from the proto-Germanic word k*nto (same meaning), and that probably deriving from the proto-Indo-European root gʷḗn, meaning, essentially, female. Unsurprisingly, it is a truly ancient word.
PS - Shakespeare was very found of the word cnt, and from at least the 12th century onwards, Gropecnt Lane was a fairly common name for streets where ladies of the night (or day, I guess) were to be found.
Edit: Jeez, I've just re-read this. Whatta know-all. It was actually quite a good joke. Sorry about that.

I think it was meant as a joke.Although he got the century wrong as the c unts weren’t formed until the early 20th century.

Every human being is conceived as a girl. Depending on what chromosomes are present, the embryo either stays XX (girl) or switches to XY (boy) a short while later. It's why blokes have nipples!
As Charles Manson put it, 'we live in a woman's thought'.

My fav Michael Caine line is when the German waiter approached his table and said “mein herr, bitte?” And Michael says “nah, I'll ‘ave a pint o' lager”

Nope, it’s “Mantlepiece”. (Holds arms out wide …) it’s about this f**kin long!
Ok, how about the bloke from the R Whites “I’m a secret lemonade drinker” ad in the 70’s is Elvis Costello’s dad.
Not quite but nearly.
The voice singing the song in the R Whites advert is indeed Elvis Costello's dad Ross McManus. But he's not actually in the advert, that's an actor by the name of Julian Chagrin.
But here's another music-related father-son link for you.
Malcolm Messiter who plays the oboe on Tanita Tikaram's song Twist In My Sobriety is the son of Ian Messiter who invented the famous radio panel game Just A Minute.
Not a lot of people know that.

Agatha Christies most successful novel 'And Then There Were None' was not it's original title. First published in 1939, it continued to be printed using its original name, in the UK, until 1986!!! It was shockingly titled '10 Little N*****s' . (Google it if you can't work it out)
Anyone under the age of 50 probably never knew this.

Julian Chagrin was the original secret lemonade drinker but John Otway took over the role in 1985.
Cor baby, that's really free info.

Contrary to expectations, ciabatta is not a traditional Italian bread. It was developed in the early 80s by Arnaldo Cavallari, a flour mill owner and former Italian rally champion.
