I find both twat and cunt kind of silly and can frequently be heard doing a bad Scottish accent and calling people "coonts" when I'm driving. That said, yeah, I've heard it claimed before that "cunt" and "******" are the only truly taboo swears in American English. And yet the same MB filter that thinks gay is a bad word doesn't censor one of them. Guess which one.
