Yeti,
How is t*at and another term (for male genitalia/slang term for male chicken) profanity and yet the word wanker is openly used on this forum ! Apologies for the circumvent of filter, but I didn't consider those words to be obscene... It definitely is a US thing and not a UK thing... |

I don't know, I don't make the profanity filter. The t word is pretty rude imo, the male chicken word is not.

I love "dodgy". I nearly fell in love with the last English girl who told me that something was "a bit dodgy, i'nnit?" Actually, I don't know what it is but I love when girls in general say dodgy.
Brilliant I've heard used a lot recently in the States, probably influenced by the Guinness commercials. With regards to guv'nah, the only time I heard it used a lot was while I was in London. Everyone was either guv'na or a geezer. The person who I heard most often referred to guv'nah was the proprietor of the local pub. |

Another term that I've heard more and more in recent times is the German word "Scheiße", used interchangeably with [censored] (censored synonym for "poop").
I love hearing German girls say "Scheiße". Acutally, I think I love hearing girls swear in any language. |

berk [/ QUOTE ] This is one of my favourite English insults, because it does not sound very rude at all but in fact could hardly be much ruder (rhyming slang for Berkshire Hunt). My Mum uses it and clearly has no idea what it really means. |

meh, that's the etymology but pretty much no-one really knows that, it's a harmless word
