Words and cultural differences

Words and cultural differences
Actually, this is about the word Cunt, but feel free to put up more examples.

It seems Americans get offended... very offended... when that word is thrown at them.
Not so much if one uses pussy. Both mean vagina when on their own, but when it's a qualifier they have different meanings.
Pussy means someone who is afraid, or scared.
But Cunt, I don't know.
The British seem to use cunt as an everyday insult. Something similar to idiot.
Idiot is a word that Americans use a lot and don't seem to get as upset over it as cunt.

Why?
What is the meaning of cunt to Americans?
