 It should be noted (or I feel compelled to point out) that the word "cunt" is not seen as all that bad in Great Britain. It's something closer to damn or even just a term that's used in the U.S. like "douche" or others. "Stop being such a cunt, Gary." It's not really all that bad.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.246.108|108.162.246.108]] 00:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
-: I'm British. The last comment is dead wrong. Far from being “not that bad” it’s basically the polar opposite: pretty much the most shocking and vulgar swear word there is, in a class of its own far beyond other swear words.

-:It is definitely different in Australia.  While it's still the rudest swearword, it is ONLY a swearword, which is why it seems less rude.  Australians (and presumably Britons) don't put as much emphasis on swearwords as some sort of terrible thing, compared to Americans.  This difference has been expressed quite succinctly (by @thomas_violence on Twitter) thus: "I love little cultural differences, like how Americans are super offended by the word cunt but here in Australia we're super offended by school children being slaughtered with automatic weapons".
