      Scottish?

      Cunt is almost certainly Germanic in origin. Old Norse most likely.

      For the UK specifically, it likely comes from the Latin variant cunnus, meaning vulva. And Romans didn’t spend a great deal of time north of modern-day Newcastle, a fair bit south of the border.

        Thanks for the info :)

        I was just having a little joke about how often the Scots say it. (With apologies to my Australian homies, I didn’t forget about you.)

    Were they not allowed 1 swear word in each film to keep the same age rating in the US? Of course probably different for other languages, but I think this would be a good case to make use of it.

      If we’re talking Two Towers I want to save the f-bomb for when Aragorn tosses Gimli at Helms Deep. Gimli just roars “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!” as he flies through the air.
