Now, see, I think part of the problem with that (the relative difficulty of use of "cunt") is that we don't use it enough. See, while both "fuck" and "cunt" have been around in our language for quite some time, "fuck" has a much more extensive recent history (soldiers in the Second World War, for instance, lent it all sorts of new and exciting uses). I suspect this is basically because ohshits "cunt" refers to--gasp!--a woman's naughty parts, and since women are apparently made of spun sugar and sunshine and other impossibly frail things we can't possibly risk getting into the habit and accidentally giving some poor lady a fit of the vapors some day--even as we throw the f-word around like there's a worldwide fucking surplus. Which is why I think we all ought to use it more. =B
Well, that and "fuck" is a verb. Or has a verb form, at any rate. But I'm still in favor of using "cunt" more often. Can't get creative with a word if you don't use it.
Altho' I'm with you on using "twat" more often, too. They're both potentially very useful expletives.
