Well, you see, this is the thing about words. The 'definition' of cunt is that it is a vulgar term for the female anatomy, but definitions are static and really don't tell us an awful lot about actual use of words. When I call someone a "cunt", I basically mean that they are a bad person. And even if the word has sexist connotations, I am only saying that they are a bad person, not "they are a bad person, and I use the female genitalia as an analogy for their badness."
