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 ! [/ QUOTE ] Because wanker isn't a curse word in the U.S. unlike those other two. |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I like the term "geezers" that The Streets uses a lot in his songs, I am trying to make it cool slang in the U.S., but I doubt it will succeed. [/ QUOTE ] Uhm... geezer has been commonly used in the U.S. since before you were born. [/ QUOTE ] Anyone apart from a Londoner using this word should be shot imo. People with a standard English accent sound like their trying too hard when they use it and an American would just be laughable. [/ QUOTE ] Huh? It's a commonly used word in the U.S. I had no idea it was even used in Britain. Like, it's 50s slang or somecrap, but it's common. |

do you guys use 'prick'? i know dice used it a ton to refer to his member, but i'm not sure if it's used as insult over there [/ QUOTE ] Yes, used as an insult exactly the same as that chicken word, although much less commonly. Male "icky person" insults by commonality of use: [censored] (rectum hole) dick jerk [censored] (male chicken/penis) prick What's weird is the profanity filter getting "[censored] (male chicken/penis)" and not "dick" which is just as bad but more common. |

I've never heard an American use this word (unless talking about Lock, Stock or Snatch) on TV, irl, on here or in a movie. Even if it is common over there, it doesn't change the fact that anyone using it is going to sound like a muppet. |

I don't use it very often but then again I don't interact with people over 60 very often. |

Good example of one that is originally American, caught on over here, and several years later is popular in the USA again through British influence...
