What do you call an American twatting bloody bollocking tosser? (Possible swearing)

Dudley · 22 May, 2006, 04:34:30 PM

The English language(? UK plc) is a rich and wonderful thing, containing lots and lots of swear words. But our American cousins seem to lack some or all of the following -

fanny
twat
bloody
bollocks
tosser
wank

So my question is, are there American equivalents - swear words that they use that we just don't say? Or are the British more inventive, funny, clever, good looking AND better at swearing?

Well you wouldn't hear anyone here say Jerk Off, but we do know what it means.

Also, it's better to swear in a Scottish accent: shite is better than shit and pish is better than piss.

The Americans do have Fanny, I believe it means arse in their remixed version of the language.

Also they have twat, pronounced Twot if you'r ein Noo Yoiyk (According to Rescue Me) and it's sooo offensive that if you use it in reference to one of your female colleagues your whole firehouse gets pulled in for a humerous episode of sensitivity training.

Never EVER ask an American if he wants to go two's on a fag.

Just...dont.

errr, no. They just swear differently. They use 'wanker' and have oodles of synonyms for 'bollocks' (balls, stones, cojones)

coinol!

Absolutely without doubt hands down the best accent to swear in ever has got to be Irish.

I't's what the country was invented for...

Fuckin right so ye are, Scutfink.

SamuelAWilkinson · 22 May, 2006, 08:25:51 PM

balls, stones, cojones

Actually, only the first one of those is one of ours.

And, frankly, we ARE better at swearing. Mostly through the millions of Galactic Groats invested in research into Future Swearing, conducted by many of the script droids here at the galaxy's greatest.

Dudley · 22 May, 2006, 08:27:03 PM

I disagree. The Irish can't even spell "fuck", and they finish all their sentences with "to be sure".

Bico · 22 May, 2006, 08:49:09 PM

I think you'll find that it's the population of Ireland referred to as 'twats' by the rest of us that use the words 'feck' and 'craic' - the rest of us don't pretend these sanitised/pseudo-words actually exist outside theme-park tv land.

To be sure.
