I don’t really understand your description and I’m guessing that’s the reason for the downvotes. What do you mean by (half) cylinder? Maybe you could try adding a sketch of what you mean?

A is also the way the inventor of the term spelled it, the way it is often spelled in science and the correct Latin form.
I’m not saying O is wrong, that’s what happens in language, just adding the other points.
In my opinion the reason it’s supposedly insulting is rooted in misogyny. A woman is the property of her male relatives. When someone sleeps with her without the permission of these relatives, he uses their property without permission, demonstrating his power over them.
I do realise that many people use this insult because it’s just something you say. But I think it’s worth reflecting about what it actually is you are saying.
Many instances are mixed language. Feddit.org for example is mainly German communities for now but is officially a German/English instance and one of the largest communities is c/Europe, which is in English. Blocking whole instances will block many English communities as well. Though I get that that might be an acceptable trade-off to get rid of a flood of posts you don’t understand.
It’s a shame the language selection doesn’t work on many apps.
