===Generally=== The word ''cunt'' is generally regarded in [[English-speaking countries]] as [[profanity]] and unsuitable for normal public discourse. It has been described as "the most heavily tabooed word of all English words",<ref>{{cite book |last = Rawson | first = Henry |title=A Dictionary of Invective |year=1991 |publisher=Robert Hale Ltd |location=London |isbn=978-0-7090-4399-7}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/nov/21/broadcasting.uknews | title = TV's most offensive words | date = 21 November 2005 | access-date= 5 May 2008 | work=The Guardian | location=London}}</ref> although John Ayto, editor of the ''[[Slang dictionary|Oxford Dictionary of Slang]]'', says "[[nigger]]" is more taboo.<ref>{{cite news |last=Margolis |first=Jonathan |date=21 November 2002 |title=Expletive deleted |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/nov/21/britishidentity.features11 |access-date=9 June 2008 |work=The Guardian |location=London |quote=Nigger is far more taboo than fuck or even cunt.
