"Cuny", "cunny", or "cony" is an old word that goes back to the middle ages meaning a pouch, and by extension is slang for vagina -- pussy would be the best term for it. A common phrase during the English Renaissance was "cony-catcher", a cut-pouch or a thief, someone who would cut the drawstrings of someone's pouch from the belt to steal it. It also became slang for someone who frequently bedded loose women.
It's only fitting that these conies should wear such an apt description for themselves on a sweatshirt.

I'm no expert, but I was at one time fascinated by rude words and had several books on the subject. It probably began when I found the word "queynte" in Chaucer. I got rid of most of them over the decades but I still keep Eric Partridge's "Shakespeare's Bawdy".
There are a few titles I wish I'd written down just to have the name of the reference. I had one called "Mrs Grundy's [...]" -- I don't remember what the third word was, unfortunately. I seem to recall the author made the observation that there are more words for parts of the male and female body and for certain physical activities than anything else in English.
French may be a good rival, but I'm not a fluent speaker. However, in John Barth's "The Sot-Weed Factor" (1960), he has two whores, one French, one English, amusing themselves by exchanging epithets like "bedswerver" and "fellatrice" for seven pages. Quite a piece of research, I must say. He also introduced me to the word "swive", a very useful term.

That may very well be the book. I see a hardcover copy for $6. I may get it just to test whether my memory of books I had decades ago is accurate. I remember that she's an unseen character in the play "Speed the Plough", who is mentioned by that characters when they say several times "What will Mrs Grundy think?".
Best definition I could find: Also bed-swerver; a Shakespearean term for a woman who swerves from her duty in the marital bed; also an unfaithful man or woman.

Yeah, it was well known /used slang in NZ for 'cunt or pussy' when i was lot younger ... It was actually the first that came to mind with this image - Two cunts.
"Did you play with her cunny ??" "Nah , she had her rags'
I do appreciate when they wear their hair naturally instead of scalping Indian children sewn by Chinese children into wigs for them to buy on gov't grants.

I looked it up and it turns out "Mrs. Grundy" is a generic name for prudish women. There's quite a few books with that name in the title.
Fellatrice is pretty easy, what's a bedswerver?
