Well, call us touchy,but most Aussies (of both sexes) will deck you if you call them a cunt. Calling anyone 'a bludger' may also be bad for your health. Originally an early twentieth century slang for'pimp', today it means 'parasite'.
Similarly, most indigenous Australians will react badly (IE will attack you with the nearest blunt object) if you refer to them as a 'coon', 'sambo', 'boong' or 'abo'. Calling an indigenous person a 'coconut' (brown outside, white inside) is the same as calling an African American an 'oreo'.
