I get told off at home a lot for it's use, obviously when the kids aren't around. Like if me and Mrs P are in a pub having a meal and someone, for example, trips up and spills their pint I would say 'haha, look at that **** there', and it is then I get told off. It truly is a wonderful word.
I rarely use it in front of my mum (probably half a dozen exceptions in my life) and I think it's fair to say certain work situations preclude its use, but otherwise it's got to be one of my most commonly used nouns in the course of a day.
I often use it as a collective noun to describe a group of people without any pejorative intent eg 'No **** is remotely interested in this"
Sometimes when I feel sorry for someone eg " that poor **** lost all his life savings"
I also use it as a verb fairly frequently too eg "stop cunting around"
As well as its more common use, obviously. By accident or design I've never been out with a girl who was remotely offended by its use, either, which is probably a good thing. Mrs Pige would not approve at first , but I'd win her round with my ready wit and charm in the end ;-)
