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.

The cops have been cracking down on public drinking, so I've had to start subtley pounding back Dorchester Mudslides. Looks like Nesquik, tastes almost as good.
