Are there vulgarities in Spanish that are universal throughout the language?

Question

The vulgar words I'm familiar with all seem to be local slang. Does Spanish have any words that are universally accepted as vulgar or profane?

I almost asked a variation of this myself, but it seems like a list question to me. I don't think it's the right format for an SE network site. :\ (too bad, because I'm really interested, so +1! But, VtC.)
@Richard: To answer this question, a single example of a universally accepted vulgarity would be sufficient, not a complete list.
It's not a list question. It's about existence. You don't have to provide a list to answer this question. A good answer would be something like "No there's definitely no words that are vulgar everywhere Spanish is spoken" and "Yes, off the top of my head I can think of the words XXX and YYY for instance".
You can also link to a site or page off the site as one way to avoid including the profane words you don't want to write yourself.
Thinking things through and looking at the one response we've gotten, I can see that the way it's worded isn't a list question and probably won't be controversial. The "universally accepted" narrows the scope far enough to be on the right side of "Not Constructive" (although it is still huge in scope). So, I voted to reopen.

Yes there is:

Puta

is the perfect example. Widely recognized, even in Equatorian Guinea and in the Philippines.
