Good grief!

Don't mention synonyms for gawd's sake, or we'll have the entire Roget's Thesaurus copied onto the thread!


Incidentally, most of those sound like they were invented yesterday by an American.

Nice lists Kendo.

Lots of original slang there - daisy roots, apple and pears, Rosie Lee and the like, as well as newer versions. But then they get shortened further, so curry just becomes, 'lets go for a Ruby'

Taboo Naughty Slang

Arse .................................... Aris (Aristotle = Bottle) Arse .................................... Bottle And Glass Arse .................................... Khyber Pass Arsehole ................................ Elephant And Castle

Wouldn't work up north as we pronounce things correctly. Arse doesn't rhyme with glass up here.

Interesting that you call a turd Richard though.

Do the yanks or other countries have such broad regional accents? Within an hours drive of me there's Manc, Scouse, Brummy, Yorkshire and Stoke (which is the worst accent in Britain, bar none)

They don't where I work in Luxembourg because if you drive for an hour you'll be in either France, Belgium or Germany! Mind you, there is a British pub here that has a barman from Stoke and another run by a Geordie so it's not all plain sailing.

[dtaai-maai]

So rather than having different accents, they speak different languages!
