People in the small-town South don’t take it well when you call them sister-fuckers, either, as I quickly learned.
Didn’t stop me, though.
Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?

A lot of Americans who say “fuck” will still lose their goddamn minds if you say “cunt”.

In England, twat (pronounced to rhyme with “hat”) is barely considered rude.

In America, it is a harsh term for the vagina. As a gendered term, it would be considered a slur. For some reason, "pussy" is more acceptable but carries the same connotations. The latter is used to describe a coward, while the former would be more akin to "bitch."

I mean, it can be, but there are also other ways to use the term. It also is the only word in English that refers to the whole gentalia, not just the vagina or some other part. Gee I wonder why the word for female genatalia is considered dirty to a bunch of puritanical Americans. Reclaim it.

Yeah, I say cunt a lot as an American. My mom hates it which is at least partially why I love it. Shit cunt is my favorite variation.

Once the shock value of a simple ‘cunt’ has worn off, ‘thundercunt’ is my next escalation.

Thundercunt seems like stepping down on shock value. I would be more likely to say that than just cunt by itself.

I was virtually raised by Australians so i’m a little more comfortable using that word than most people in America.
