I don't have a pussy=American association so much, but I do feel the need to for more than one word. Particularly when I have this strange thing that pussy = more the whole area, where cunt = more the 'hole' area. Oh god, I AM TWELVE.

But yeah. The c-word has lost a lot of bite in Australia since yobs started using it as an endearment. "WHAT ARE YOU CUNTS DOING?" "Ah, he's a funny cunt." (The voice in my head saying this is appalling)
