Cunt

There are a number of different ways in which this word can be used, besides being an informal name for female genitalia*, it can be used in at least two other ways:

1) A derogatory name for a person you intensely dislike;
2) As an acronym standing variously for Computer User Non-Technical, Cannot Understand New Technology, Cannot Utilise Normal Thinking.
No doubt there are others as well, but those mentioned here all share a common theme in that the person described is a bit of a twat.

*For some reason this is now perceived to be offensive, but during the Middle Ages in Britain it was a word in common use indeed, it still remains in some street names e.g. Gropecunt Lane.

"Malcolm's ballsed up his computer again and doesn't know why."
"He really is a cunt!"

graveyard fuck

This is where a male person has sex with a woman of advanced age, quite literally old enough to be his granny. There is no love involved, it is usually done for a bet or some other reason. If the woman is rich or a celebrity, the male becomes known as a 'toy-boy'. If a woman indulges in a graveyard fuck, it's invariably with a man who is rich and powerful and she expects marriage to result. She's in it purely for the money so I suppose that makes her a whore and therefore it's not really a graveyard fuck..

Look at that old bat blowin' kisses at Jed!
Well, that's what happens when you get pissed and have a graveyard fuck.

Cherries

US Army slang common during the Vietnam War, although possibly originating much earlier than this. It means a soldier who is a combat virgin who has not been 'blooded' and, therefore, one whose behaviour in combat is unpredictable. The arrival of a new soldier as a replacement in an established unit was always difficult, hence the referral to such an arrival as FNG (Fucking New Guy). Where this soldier had not seen combat the difficulty was compounded and the established troops viewed them with suspicion as an unknown quantity.

We just got a load of replacements for the guys evaced out last week, no lifers all FNG cherries.
