A coworker of mine was fired for referring to his wife as a cunt because a VP was in the warehouse and happened to hear his conversation. IMHO, cunt is NSFW.
I was considering this conversation and how prudish this might seem. It comes off as pretty hostile here.
‘Hey, cunt’ comes off as ‘hey, fucking asshole.’ When directed at a woman, it often comes out with the word useless and indicates that she is only good for one thing.
Mostly yes, but I don’t speak for all families. Cursing is usually avoided around other people’s kids and in business situations here. In more relaxed situations, most people will let it slide. That said, cunt is basically sex talk and would make people uncomfortable.
You could probably get away with the word vagina in an informative setting on prime time television.
Pussy cat is the only way you are getting this second word in.
Cunt is explicit and either was said by an Australian or is evoking direct sex talk.

Then you’re breaking rule 4 of this community.
Fair. I just saw that. If asked, I can delete it.
Maybe this is a cultural thing. But in Australian (and to a lesser extent UK) english, “cunt” is pretty average. Like maybe as insulting as “dick”.
Like young aussies often call their mates “cunt”. Like “oi cunt”.

I imagine that’s the case in your culture. But in many places in Australia.
“Oi Cunt”
sounds no different to “Yo Man” would in the US.
Obviously a cultural thing.
It’s seems the US is very much still at the stage of stigma. Which makes sense, the US is far more puritan about language.
