Don't know about you, but it seems almost expected, nee encouraged that Brits use colorful language. My friends and colleagues seem to think that my foul mouthed antics are somehow 'earthy and charmingly British, but will be horrified if they utter so much as a hell or damn!

Edited with handy *'s for those who are easily offended by the more Anglo-Saxon vernacular.

I will start with:

Arse
B*llocks
W**nker
Chav
Scrubber
Ponce
Tw*t
Twit
B*gger (as a verb)
Kn*b
Jessie
Gypo
Pikey
Pleb

What else have you got? Entries from Roger Mellie's profanisaurus are not permitted!

Extra points to anybody who actually has any of these words on a US vanity plate ;-)

Munter
Prat
Spod
Gingerminge
Bristols
Langer
Berk
Git
Helmet
Knobhead
Spacker
Nonce
Pillock
Poof
Bint
Sod
Tosser

I don't have any of these on my license plate, though. sorry.

Now I get why when I said to a friend on the phone this morning that "so and so is such a poof" they didn't seem to understand. Hah I've been here so long I don't remember what is US slang and whats UK.

Lol definitely brings back school memories.

'Boiler' seemed to come later.
