I would disagree with the designation of "cunt" to be a unisex insult.
At least I've never heard someone call a man or boy a cunt.
Interestingly, that's the one sex/hygeiene/genital insult that I find really offensive.
And I have nothing against cunts.

- hmm..interesting that there appears to be fewer curse words engendered to females- especially since some of those words have a twin that can be interchanged at any time:
lesbo-dyke
twat-cunt
whore-slut
a couple left out from the previous list- also engendered:
faggot - M
dickhead - M
(*is it because of our mammalian nature that "tits" is the only sexual body part that cannot be used to describe a person? except if you're sir genius andrew)
again sex (or the primal act of sex) is thematic to most of these words - the component that most mundane words symbolize.
the website Halfbakery.com has several excellent links to various profane website:

According to the Mercury News, Jonathan Glazer, who directed the excellent videos for 'Street Spirit' and 'Karma Police' (as well as the remarkable Sexy Beast, is having a bit of trouble with his new film, Birth. Apparently, the film deals with Nicole Kidman falling in love with a 10-year-old whom she believes is the reincarnation of her dead husband, and some scenes involving her and the boy stripping and kissing in a bathtub (!) are not going over so well with New Line production heads.
After already going through multiple rewrites and creative battles, New Line is considering simply pulling the plug on the $50 million film, Glazer's second.

- t'was an entertaining set of banter, wasn't it?
I don't know if I'll end up using those newly appropriated insults,
but it sure is fun to know we've all got a bunch of new words to use...
falafel, eh, Jeremy? You all make me laugh.

Greatest quote from the Tim Hortons line-up: "I'd like it hot, black, and lots of it."
