As they say, in Australia you call cunts "mate" and your mates "cunt".

When it comes to these sorts of slurs my own usage is a bit different. I often call my friends gay, or nigger, or cunt, but I'm playing on the fact that using them is taboo, which serves as my justification.

I mean, I met a black man once. I shook his hand, and didn't even flinch.

Edit: I just remembered that sarcasm isn't apparent on the Internet...
