I'm amazed at British TV shows even whimsical gameshows where everyone swears like a sailor. But when someone dares to say the "c word" it's bleeped and everyone gasps.

I recall that the c-word used to be common too, then the idea that it was "the female n-word" was imported from the US.

As someone who has an Australian friend, the avoidance of that word is definitely not universal.
