    I read the title as “A Stunning Cunt” initially and I’m almost sad there wasn’t a glorious vagina here instead lol

          Well … no!
          Nobody said you were wrong … right?
          The point here is that you now know a new form of joke, the Cockney Rhyming Slang.
          You can recognize it in the future. And you know, laugh. Or something.

              Yeah. From a character in a Dicken’s (?) book who swaps the beginning sounds of words. I think he’s called Captain Spoon in the book.

              Something along the lines of Berkeley Hunt (you absolute berk) is more rhyming slang.

              Huh. I think you are correct. It’s a quote from Binface, you know. Last line.
              "Are they running scared from old Binny, or do they think that Nigel’s running a cunning stunt?”
              Something about it sounds very UK to me.
