You're probably gonna think I'm stupid for asking, but I did Twelfth Night at school and when Malvolio gets what he thinks is a love letter from Olivia he says "These be her very Cs, her Us, her Ts, and then her very Ps!" Everyone laughed at this and they said it meant something dirty...so im kinda embarrassed to ask. But tell me please?

Shakespeare purposely leaves out the N, in the word "C U N T" because he needs to keep the poetic meter of his line. As to the P's, if you say "P's" it sounds very much like "piece". The word "piece" here is used as slang to emphasize and clarify the meaning of C's U's and T's.

The word women don't like that starts with "C" and ends with "T" and has and "N" and a "U" somewhere in it. It turned into a vuglar word about shakespears time, but before that it was a common used word.

Not a stupid question, because I don't get it either. I'm bad at getting perverted or "dirty" things. Actually I'm bad at understanding jokes entirely.

No, you're not stupid. In Shakespeare's time the word "cut" was used for our word "cu*t". And you know where pee comes from.
