neutral  rhandler: Cervix may also mean the back of the neck.// You certainly meant "deft", didn't you? I'm sure you wouldn't be so gross. /// Please refer to site rule no. 2. Calling your colleague "silly" certainly is not courteous.

  -> I meant "daft"..."daft = silly" in English and can in no way be interpreted by a native English speaker as being gross.//You have completely misunderstood the term in English.
