Natalie Dokic 

An evil-spirited, hawk-nosed, blonde-headed CUNT!
Mike: Hey, man. I just met this girl for the third time, and she still forgot my name. She later went to the bar and hooked up with two guys that night. I don't hate on anyone, you know me, however, this chick's the definition of a cunt. Look her up on Urban Dictionary and her picture is there.

Joey: Bro, you're dealing with a Natalie Dokic. Blow it up and let her slut around.

Mike: Who said I was ever interested? I'm just really bothered. Oh, and I know a Natalie Dokic, she's a hawk-nosed cunt that needs ten pounds of make-up to look presentable.

Joey: Ah, what a coincidence. So we both know the cunt.

Mike: Sure do.

Joey: Dudes.

And with that Mike, Joey and the gang went off into the night.
