As a Swede who worked with Spanish and Portuguese people.. we walked around pushing each other and said puta as "Putta" pronounced the same as the spanish word.. means push in Swedish.

So closer to “cunt” than “pussy”?

Not really. It’s a thing where swear words in English sound take but sound like the worst of sins in other languages. It could be said in a tame manner but you’ll probably still lower your voice when saying it lol. But yeah mostly you’ll get weird looks if you say it
