Its an intersting one. Words like prick and cock (slang terms for Male bits) are sort of funny inoffensive little insults. However a word for lady bits gets some people so hot under the collar. Its a bit misogynistic when you think about it. The worst insult is to be likened to a lady garden? What does that say about society's attitudes towards women?

Or am I getting too deep |

"If you all love it then why are you shy in posting it, hmm x
Because it has to be used in context "
Heard it said at a recent gig:
"If anyone tries to fuck with you, you look them in the eyes and say fuck you you cunt" |

Me and my husband love the word but like others have also said it’s all about the context...I would never use it in a angry way but I often will say to my husband affectionately I love you you sexy cunt and he will say it back .... |

I tend to use it when driving as a descriptor for other less skilled drivers who have failed to indicate or have cut me up etc. Sometimes with other descriptive words as well!

Many debates on the origin of the word cunt
My favourite origin is it is derived from cunnus meaning swords sheath in Latin. Cunt is my favourite profanity I take no offence to it.
Anyone who doesn't like the word and thinks its not nice, or that it isn't appealing means yes you are taking offence to it. If you can't bring yourself to say it you take offence to it. |

"Hate it
One of the most unnecessary words in the English language.
Usually used by C's
Chefs?
Chauffeurs 
Bunch of ****s 
Camponologists? "
Bells to that! |

If i close my eyes and say it out loud.. the sound itself does not particularly appeal, regardless of meaning and how people apply it..but then I am one of those people who actually loves word vulva:D
I used to hate it. Grew out of strong feelings against it. |

A fave but Its all about the context, As a proper insult I’d never use it, Used as a repost to a light hearted insult or when a mate or H has done something dumb then it’s the perfect word said with a smile & you need not even make a sentence! Just
“Cunt”
Will suffice, though you can flower it up a bit if you like

"I like it in a sexual scenario "
Yes! Said in that sort of growl of lust men get when they are aroused I'm all for it.
I call Boldy it in an affectionate manner, I don't mind the word in the slightest. |

But what about other names meaning body parts too and it's usage?
Cock, bellend, twat, arsehole, pussy, dick, tit
Why is cunt so much more offensive than the rest? When it was originally noted in the dictionary it was spelt c**t or just **** with a description. What makes this single word enrage people so much? It's the only word that can piss most women off in 3 seconds. The look of disbelief of someone saying it then a rant about the fact it's been said. |

I watched a stand up who made some valid points around purposes of words.
People will try to demean others as weak by calling them a pussy but compliment their bravery by saying they have balls.
The pussy is the stronger part; having to cope with menstruation and childbirth
Whereas balls retreat at even cold water and if kicked or even fondled the wrong way become an Achilles
So by the same ethos - cunt as a word intended to demean should be reclaimed |

It's a good versatile word. Doesn't have the shock factor it used to have which means it has settled into the English language. Don't be afraid of words. Know the right context to use them in a relevant situation and it's fine. Just a word. |

Not so much offensive some people just don’t like the word. I dislike the word moist as much as I dislike that word. I’ve never used the C word I just don’t think I could say it. Wouldn’t offend me if I heard it though. |

The term offend - similar words agitate, annoy, irritate, resent, anger, embarrass , shock, displease, vex, peeve, insult the list goes on.
Opposite of offend is please |

Well it’s an individuals opinions on it. I find it offensive and derogative but that’s only my opinion. Whereas others like it. I think if one is unsure of anyone’s opinion of the word then use manners and do not use these unconventional words in case they offend.
Manners should be displayed at all times, difficult for some Fab members I know that. |

It doesn't have to bother you if anyone says it but if it vexes you to say it or think it then it's offensive to you.
I have a word I find offensive I can't even bring myself to say and thought of it annoys and angers me and that's N***** derogatory term for black person. It truly vexes me and *facepalm* when people use it towards another given the history of the word and why it was used.
Yet the N word doesn't inspire as much hate as the word cunt and no one has ever been able to explain to me why they find it so offensive. |

Not really much point carrying on with this. I hate the word and I don’t use it. No it’s not offensive to me. Maybe we look at taking offence differently. Agree to disagree  |

As so many have already said, context is everything.
In a sexual context, I love its usage - there's no other description (for me) which hits the spot, so to speak, in terms of earthy rawness and sheer unbridled lust. Someone referring to my cunt at the right moment is a huge turn on.
But when used as a direct insult, and especially (it feels to me) if it's a man using it towards a woman face to face, it makes me feel very uncomfortable in a way that goes beyond mere 'offence'. Probably because in that situation it's almost always spat out with such aggression, venom and contempt. Like it or not, it seems to have become the very 'worst' profanity in our society and there's a large part of me which feels offended by that.... not at all because I'm some sort of sensitive flower but because I feel fucked off that another word (albeit one that's usually taboo) for female genitalia has been appropriated in such a way. It feels... I don't know... *misogynistic* I guess as it's acquired all these highly negative connotations which simply don't apply as severely to comparable 'male' insults/swear words.
In a more general context, e.g. if you're describing someone truly awful then I agree sometimes there simply isn't a strong enough word to convey how foul they are. But at the same time, I have this nagging voice in the back of my head questioning whether I should be using it at all in that context given my unease about its misogynistic properties.
I'd really like to see it 'downgraded' with it's ability to 'shock' or offend diluted. And for it to be seen as risqué (rather than disgraceful) or even, amongst friends bantering, a term of endearment or amusement.... much like 'cock' can be. But to achieve that, you'd have to use it more often so it lost some of its power and you then go back to the conundrum of what contexts are 'acceptable' or not!!
It's actually a word from Middle English and although considered bawdy at the time (as most slang for genitals usually are), wasn't the obscenity it is today. Anyone who's studied the Canterbury Tales might remember it cropping up there quite matter of factly with the intent of giving the reader or listener a good saucy laugh. I don't know why there was a subsequent shift to this far more negative usage in following centuries? |

Page from an old dictionary
Cunt - the female pudendum (pudenda -which from latin means that whereof one ought to feel shame)
A language word, but vulgar in usage.
Diminutives of varying degrees are cunnicle, cunnikin, cuntkin, cuntlet, cunny.
Cunt-pensioner - a male keep one who lives by the prostitution of a wife, mistress, daughter, or any other female connection.
Cunt-struck - enamoured of women who may in turn be either cock-smitten or prick-struck
I couldn't find the same references in modern dictionaries only alternative ones |

Wow such a diverse and concise spectrum of very different opinions on the use of the word here, each just as valid as the next, I think that we can conclude from this thread that the use of the word comes down to purely personal preference and it’s ok to hold your own opinion while respecting other people’s , even if that opinion differs from your own.,
Could we all agree unanimously on one thing though? .. That it is agreed by all.. that the following people can be summed up as being the very embodiment of being said ‘C’ word?.. Rupert Murdoch, Bono from U2, and ANY person (without exception) who willingly applies to channel 5 to be a contestant on Big Brother .. !?
.. Channel 5 tho bruh    |

I have a old Playstation wrestling game where you can build your wrestlers and I had a bunch of female wrestlers. The section came up to name your wrestlers so what do I name one .....C*** Grabber.
I know....mind of a teenager.
I don't use it in my everyday vocabulary but I prefer to hear women say it rather than men. Posh ones at that, love it when a posh woman starts cussing.

I was listening to an interview with Arabella Weir and she made the point that cunt is a far better word than botch as cunt is gender indifferent in how you use it. Whereas bitch is always negative against women / femininity. |
