I was watching this documentary yesterday about the British National Party (who seem quite racist), and they had a bit of hidden footage. Given the belligerant nature of such a party there was a lot of swearing and other (racial) slurs on the footage.

Interestingly enough, all the fucks remained in the footage, but cunt was censored out. The show was on around 8:30-9:30 and normally Adult features in Australia are shown after 9:30pm. Anyway, i found it interesting that cunt was rated more offensive than fuck.

Myself, i don't really like to say cunt really, especially in front of girls and other professional type people (workplace).

Anyway, would this make cunt the most offensive word? (in the Western World)? - other than blasphmeous type slurs "Jesus Christ"
although, then i suppose which company it's in.

Also, how does such a word get this way?
