Andy_Copland 0 #26 July 5, 2006 A lot of Americans also dont get the word pissed right in our context. "I was pissed last night" You'd get a response from an American like "why what happened?"

Andy_Copland 0 #32 July 5, 2006 Hammered I like the simple words like defeated aswell, used in context i think they describe situations well. Like eating a full english with a hang over with your mates and they can see your suffering to get it down. A simple look up to them and uttering "defeated" just says it all1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

warpedskydiver 0 #38 July 5, 2006 QuoteWanker is just one of those words used as a general insult, can be replaced with tosser if your feeling nicer inclined. As for bugger, yep. Means arse fucker. But us brits use our terminology loosely, i mean its not uncommon for adults to call kids little buggers when they are misbehaving. Or calling someone a frightful buggerer (when referring to french royalty) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannanaGirl 0 #42 July 5, 2006 Very informative list! However it did not have a new one I came across a while ago when someone was describing a very ugly person..."munter". Hopefully it was'nt directed at me as I am bloody stunning I am! Doughnut is another good one when refering to someone's stupidity...similar to muppet really. Bugger...I usually use that word when feeling sorry about someones situation...like "oh the poor bugger!". I guess it beats saying "the poor fudge packer"!

Haven't heard that one in years, also use minger, heffer etc I'm sure our American friends will also be relieved to learn that being invited to go 'On a bender' has nothing to do with buggery!Do you want to have an ideagasm?

caz 0 #44 July 5, 2006 yeah I haven't heard munter for a long time either. I think that list is specifically for words common across the two 'languages' of American and British which have different meanings in the different countries, so thats probably why it wasn't in there. ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 0 #45 July 5, 2006 One I heard recently was "gunt" for a fat minger, it's the cross between the gut and the c*&t. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannanaGirl 0 #46 July 5, 2006 Oh god the word "minger" reminds me of something I do detest and being a red head it does get on my nerves, but when someone calls me ginger they say "gingeerr" pronounced as you would minger but with a "g". Usually it comes from only slightly evolved Sierra drivers as they drive by (Mondeo drivers or maybe BMW drivers - known as CHAVS in England) who think it is cool to stick a whale tail on the end of their car even though it has only 3bhp and a muppet at the controls. yeh very fucking funny....learn to speak the English language "cum muncher" and get a labotomy whilst you are at it you twat (female clitoris), is my general response now. Me bitter? No never. For all it's colourful sounds and expletives, the English languages best has to be for me "tosser". Variations by accent are..."tossa", "Tosser", "tossar" or "tosspot". As I am west country mine goes "oi you proper tosserrrrr, gets of me tracterrr". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
