Can anyone remember the film where two ladies of a certain age are playing scrabble as a cop persues a miscreant through their flat?
In one shot you see MOTHERFU
and in the next you see CKER.
Well, it amused me at the time.
Aha!

Do they mention the scene in the Goldie Hawn movie Foul Play? She's being pursued by a ruthless killer, she's escaped through her window on to the roof, and now she needs to get back in again. She's looking through the window at these two sweet old ladies who are playing Scrabble. One of them has just played a very long word, which you can see starts with MOTH... and ends with ...ER. The other one's saying "I think it's hyphenated, dear". I love this scene!

A couple of years ago there was a brilliant article in The Times about the 'c' word. Now sadly lost behind their pay wall unless someone knows different.

More Tennis?
back to the OP's question, there are times when c**t is used instead of the word person...
'you're a pure crazy c**t '
would actually be taken as complimentary in most circumstances.
'check that c**t out'
Would, again, not be taken badly.
We maximised the use of the word with words like c**tyface and my own favourite c**ntybawz.
Parliamo Glasgow is a highly complicated subject so don't dive in unless you know what you are doing. Getting French wrong in Paris might end up with you ordering a horse burger, getting it wrong in Glasgow can end up in A&E.

When we play it at home rude words always count double. It should be in the official rules.

Being vaguely interested in how well computer programmes fare against hu-mans at Scrabble, it appears from this link that silicon triumphs.
Also came across these amusing anagrams:
DORMITORY: When you rearrange the letters: DIRTY ROOM
PRESBYTERIAN: When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER
ASTRONOMER: When you rearrange the letters: MOON STARER
DESPERATION: When you rearrange the letters: A ROPE ENDS IT
THE EYES: When you rearrange the letters: THEY SEE
GEORGE BUSH: When you rearrange the letters: HE BUGS GORE
THE MORSE CODE : When you rearrange the letters: HERE COME DOTS
SLOT MACHINES: When you rearrange the letters: CASH LOST IN ME
ANIMOSITY: When you rearrange the letters: IS NO AMITY
ELECTION RESULTS: When you rearrange the letters: LIES - LET'S RECOUNT
SNOOZE ALARMS: When you rearrange the letters: ALAS! NO MORE Z 'S
A DECIMAL POINT: When you rearrange the letters: I'M A DOT IN PLACE
THE EARTHQUAKES: When you rearrange the letters: THAT QUEER SHAKE
ELEVEN PLUS TWO: When you rearrange the letters: TWELVE PLUS ONE
AND FOR THE GRAND FINALE:
MOTHER-IN-LAW: When you rearrange the letters: WOMAN HITLER

Put some effort in as well. Wasn't Lady Gaga and Lord Lucan at the finish line with you as well?
