Did we ever get an answer to this question? I would say yes it is classy. For example, Princess Ann swears like a 20 quid whore. Apparently when she appeared on A Question of Sport, half of it was unusable because she kept referring to Emlyn Hughes as a "fucking pleb".
was that before or after she swiped him around the head with her handbag?

Etymology of the word c*nt.
1: (Historical usage) Polite reference to female genitallia
Attributed to the Anglo Saxons, originally used as a polite reference to female genitallia. Contemporary references also included the words quim and twat (Honest).
2: (Traditional usage) Vulgar reference to female genitallia. Over time - and as society changed with some of the poorer working classes emerging as the wealthy middle classes, the word took on a vulgar impolite tone. Not because of any moral reasoning, rather it just became too common for it's own good. In otherwords, it became a victim of it's own success.
3: (Modern usage) A Traffic Warden (UK) Meter Maid (US)
