      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.)
