About a month ago I was running for one of the last tubes in London, and behind me I heard a girl yelling 'Run you cunts, run'
We all made it on the train, and when I turned to see who my fellow joggers were, there was a girl in an evening gown and two young gentlemen in tuxedos.
We all laughed.
Cunt doesn't have the same sort of impact that it has in the US, it is used far more frequently in England.
I find it amusing people won't even type it out for the taboo factor.
I personally prefer twat.
