Excuse me?  Which of these are not offensive?  I find them all offensive.

c_nt (!) Noun. 1. The female genitals.*
2. Women from a sexual viewpoint. Offensive.
3. A despicable person. Derog. and coarse, and with its associated meanings
is consequently particularly offensive.
4. A very familiar term of address. E.g."Hello you old c_nt, how are you?
You're looking well."
Exclam. An exclamation of anger, surprise, frustration, disappointment.

* Undoubtedly the most offensive and taboo of all vulgarisms, and
particularly so to women, however its use is becoming more frequent.
Consequently it is gradually losing its offensiveness and perhaps will in
due course become as accepted as 'f_ck' in its use. The word goes back to
Middle English, c_nte, and before then it can only be speculated upon,
however some believe its origins lie with the Latin, cuneus, meaning wedge.

c_nted Adj. Very intoxicated by drink or drugs.

c_nt-face Noun. A contemptible person. Also cuntface.

c_nt-faced Adj. Very intoxicated.

c_nting Adj. An intensifier. E.g."If this c_nting weather doesn't improve
within the next 24 hours we'll have to cancel the whole trip."

c_ntox Noun. A contemptible person.

c_nty Noun. A contemptible person.

c_ntybaws * Noun. 1. An objectionable person. [Scottish use]
2. Occasionally used as a term of address. [Scottish use]
* From c_ntyballs.

It seems that in the UK there is some usage that's not quite so offensive.
