Simon Cowell spoof


I have really enjoyed what I have been able to catch from this show, and I think Peter Serafinowicz is a genius.

Not being a native English speaker, much less from the UK, I have been wondering what exactly is the insulting word Cowell is supposed to call the contestants (and even the audience!) of the show spoofing American Idol and their kind. My guess is he uses that very dirty four letter word (C-x-x-T) that refers to women's genitalia, but I would like to be sure. Besides, I never saw anybody in the US use the word I am talking about as a direct insult to someone else; would this be a UK-only usage?

Thanks and best regards.

Yeah, it's the C-word, the one you're thinking about ;) I suppose it's used more frequent in Britain.
