Somebody comes up with something and decides it's offensive and starts saying it in an ugly way that implies people should be offended by it, even if they don't know what it means.
As for myself, I use the word fuck. I don't use the word cunt. Fuck is a very handy all-purpose word. It's like the swiss army knife of swearing. Cunt only has one purpose, and that's to direct it at a person. Which I generally don't do anyway.

As far as I know the word 'fuck' comes from the chinese for planting or seeding or something like that. That Fornication under consent of the king stuff is crazy
