There are people out there who think that cunt is the worst word ever.
It makes no sense to me. My cousin, who is male, gets really angry when anyone says it. Which is odd since we're Irish and our family say it once per sentence. But he can never and will never explain why it's so offensive.
The only answer I've ever got out of anyone is that it's offensive to women. What women? My sister says it all the time, it's her favourite word. And she's a woman.
To be honest, if you think women are such delicate little idiots that they need protection from the English language then that's more offensive than me calling someone a cunt. You cunt.
Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems to be more likely to be used playfully over here than in America. I've never heard of Americans calling their friends cunts or referring to inanimate objects as cunts but maybe that's just because they don't put that on tv.
As for nigger. In some contexts (eg., at work) it's distressingly offensive. In other contexts (eg., a wu tang song) it's barrels of fun.
Most Offensive: Nigger vs. Cunt
