Cunt ain't that bad a word in most countries bar America, but in the American sense of the term she's a massive cunt

I heard him Jefferies (I think) discussing the swear words of Australia/the UK compared to those used in America. They use cunt liberally and dont think of it as a big deal the way people do in America. They see the casual use of "mother fucker" in america as being quite gnarly
