Yeah, in the UK it can also be used as a term of endearment as well as an insult, though that's considered a very boorish thing to do (For example Ed, in Shaun of the Dead). You wouldn't call the Queen a terrific cunt, for example, but you might call one of your mates that.
But yeah, I can understand and appreciate someone not knowing all of that deciding to clamp down on it. Considering how people will try and twist their way into using slurs, I entirely understand your reasoning, and didn't want to argue back at the time out of fear of exacerbating the situation.
