There is no condescending tone--at least not an implied one. That is simply how I talk. Though now I worry that my message shall be perceived in a manner other than it was intended.

I'm glad you agree.

I agree, in America, you very rarely hear anyone say Cunt. It is not part of our everyday conversation at all, and is used generally only in very vulgar movies. But I do notice it used a lot more with a couple of my british friends.

Well, I never use the word in terms of a vagina, unless I'm intentionally trying to be vulgar.

I feel it is perhaps the anatomical connotation that leads Americans to find it distasteful, but in the UK, I'd say 9/10 times the word is used it is not in reference to a body part, but merely a person.

What would "cunt" mean if it didn't mean "pussy"/"vagina" in the same derogatory sense as "dick" or a"asshole" are used? Just curious...

I'm not sure I understand the question..
