Re: Scrubber
Ohh there are so many! I think it would be a service to the Wiki to compile an exhaustive list of common Queen's English vulgarities not widely used or understood in America
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 ;-)

Re: Scrubber
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.

Re: Scrubber
I love it I will let my mate over here have it good and all I get is a blank stare as I writhe around in hysterics. Then I have to explain it. It’s like talking to a plank.
