maleficent

It's not so much the word as the meaning behind the word -- it's meant as an insult -- it's meant to be hurtful to someone. If someone tried hard enough, the word "coffee cup" could be the ultimate insult, and would be banned from television everywhere.

Slut used to be a horrific word, you'd never ever call a woman a slut, until (and I'm showing my age again) Dan Akroyd regularly used the phrase "Jane, You Ignorant slut" directed at Jane Curtain during the news skits on Saturday Night Live (back when it was funny)

It's a word - - you wouldn't call your momma a Cunt, because you are supposed to respect your momma. It's generally directed at someone you are beyond furious with. It's just a word.
