Still amazed that most Americans i have met didn't understand Snog and shag.

I think Bonk is a much better term here. I'm shocked that you don't use the term wanker in the USA. It is a staple part of any decent vocabulary. I may have to start up an online course on how to properly use this word.

First lesson; as somebody walks away after pissing you off, just turn to the people around you and mutter, "What a wanker." It has to taper off at the end, no exclamation marks etc.

Taking the piss is excellent but if you really want to step up a notch then you can use the advanced phrase, Having a go.

For example; "Are you having a go, mate?" This translates to, are you insulting me? An example conversation could go something like this;

1: Do ya like me new fishing rod?
2: Are you having a go?
1: what?
2: I said, are you having a go, mate?
1: No, mate. I'm not having a go.
2: Do you want to step outside?
1: No, no, mate. I'm not having a go, dinkum.
2: All right. Just watch it next time though.
1: I've had a gutfull.

There are some more advanced terms here such as, I've had a gutfull, which should only be attempted after a good deal of experience, but you get the general idea.
