When ******** with the British I like when they say, "I'm off for a ****." Sounds like such a wonderful adventure they are ready to partake in.

How vulgar is the word "cunt" over there? I've heard people greeting each other as friends by saying, "Ow ya doin, ya old cunt, ya?"

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

I like how we can find unintentional humour in yank telly when characters say they're "pissed." To us, annoyed is "pissed off". "Pissed" by itself to us is *****. Although there are a million more common colloquialisms... fucked, skulled, twatted, bladdered, muntered, slaughtered, shitfaced etc.

Cunt is the worst word there is. However, if you're a person that is not offended by swearing and neither is your friend, then it's common to call them cunt in jest. Or any insult in jest. In fact, you often call your mates "cunt" and a complete cunt "mate." As in "oh, thanks mate" when you see some cunt parking haphazardly and blocking you in.

But yeah, I have mates I sometimes greet with "cunt." Or "soppy bollocks." Or "queerbait."

See you next Tuesday. You cunt.

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

See you next Tuesday.

They might not understand that ; you might have to spell it out.

..... I'll get my coat.

I worked for a good while in Santa Monica where a lot of British live and travel to. I heard the word "cunt" many times between them usually smiling in both directions. Seemed so good-natured like a term of endearment.

I go to a gym with a mixed racial crowd. When this English guy I know walks in I yell, "Oi monkey!" across the room and he's the only one who smiles. It's always me but he has the curious look of fascination whenever he hears it like he's not sure who shouted it. Good guy that talks about Dudley Moore and Hugh Laurie a lot.

How derogatory is the word "punter" also?

It's not, really. "The punters" = the customers. Unless it has a regional use in a region I've never spent much time in.

That went by me at first. Then like a boomerang returning it hit me.

I'm a punter as in punting along a nice canal in Cambridge or I'm a punter looking for a party girl. 2 different interpretations

In Britain a "fag" is a cigarette and a "******" is an armload of firewood. In the US it's a word one uses to destroy their own career and become a pariah in their community.

"N i g g a rd" is British for cheapskate...it's American for either "I'm a rapstar with limited intellect" or "please point your *** at me", depending on your race.

I've been watching British hunting vids lately. What we decided to call "Canola", they still call "****" (**** seed, **** fields, etc).

****** has nothing to do with firewood. A ****** in the UK is essentially a meatball made from offal. Loved by the lower classes, a staple food for anyone from the West Midlands in other words.

Wikipedia says we're both right. And I got mine from Tolkien who was British and a literary demi-God, so I declare myself the winner.

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

"******" as slang for bender came from a **** colloquialism for kindling, and during the war they burned the gays alive. I'm fairly sure that ******/fag only took off over here when we heard Statesians using it as first and foremost "fag" here will always mean ciggy.

Thankfully despite being born Brummie (ew) and raised Black Country (double ew) I never cared for organs. Black pudding yes, **** that pretends to be meat but smells like ****, no.

Go to Birmingham some time, where thanks to a crafty bit of graffiti you can read a sign declaring "Birmingham : Heart Of Britain's _anal Community."

So Often the Finnish Goes to Water Until It Breaks.

 

[assari]

When ******** with the British I like when they say, "I'm off for a ****."

I think the ****-word means at least two things to English people.

1. Anger

2. ******** ******* and get *****

See you next Tuesday. You cunt.

Only good friends greet each other like that as Mr_Stiffy said.

Winter swimming is wonderfull.
