“KNUCK” is code for a person who acts like a real “CUNT”. Its inception came about because you cannot say “CUNT” in the workplace. Its popularity arose because the sound of the hard “K” is so satisfying, sort of like saying the word “FUCK”. Sometimes such coarse language is simply warranted. So, when in the office with said “CUNT”, refer to him/her as a “KNUCK”, when laughing with friends at the workplace.
