Someone sick to death of hearing all of the following:
So, how many languages do you speak?
You should work for the UN. They speak languages.
You mean so you can, like, invent new languages? There's a lot of money in that, you know.
I like reading the dictionary.
So, are you a cunning linguist?
Chomsky. (knowing nod)
Oh, so you know where words come from.
Wanna come work for the CIA with us?

Get the Linguist mug.Can have religious connotations. In Genesis, God destroys a the Tower of Babel which man is building in order to reach the heavens. He also scatters man across the world and gives them different languages so that people cannot communicate with one another.
Describing someone as a 'linguist' suggests he is one who can unite mankind once more, and free him from oppression. Potentially, he does this through his poetic skill rather than through speaking all the world's languages.
Of course, it's used a bit more lightly than all that...

Get the linguist mug.A clever play on words to use in place of the word wordcunnilingus/word. The first play on words being of the similar sound, one who thinks a bit more about it will realize a "cunning linguist" would be someone who is skilled at speaking, implying the mouth, thus, someone skilled with their mouth.

Get the cunning linguist mug.The term "cunning linguist" is a clever play on the word cunnilingus. It is clever for 3 reasons:
1) "Cunning linguist" simply sounds astonishingly similar to cunnilingus.
2) Whoever discovered the phrase "cunning linguist" certainly was one.
3) A "cunning linguist" would have a dexterous mouth, aiding him or her in the act of cunnilingus.
This word play is a triple whammy!
