U.K.= the land of potheads?
Oh, yes, truly. Whatever.

In America, we call "going out for a curry", "getting a haircut".

Also, we say people who can't see are blind.
In England, if you're blind, you're drunk.

Nope, we say people who can't see are blind.

If you're -really- drunk, then you're "blind drunk".

Oh yeah, and we say "arse" and you guys say "ass".

Doesn't "arse" just sound better though?! I really do think it does.

Are British swear words really that uncommon in America? I would have thought they would spread quite well via the net.

ARSe, sounds retarded. LOL I'm just kiddin with ya. But ass sounds better!!

We use arse, also.

But if we're pissed, we say ass. Arse is way too proper.

When I'm pissed, the first word out of my mouth would be "shit", "fuck", "damn", and about someone "asshole", "ass(variations on the ending)", "dumbfucker", about something "bullshit". That ends it all, because I can't say anything else after I've already called "bullshit".

[psychopixi]

*lol* Arse is proper?

If I'm pissed off the first words out of my mouth will be "nuts", "bollocks", "fuck" or "motherfucking c**t" - in ascending order of pissed-off-ness.

[beachguy in thongs]

Oh, and who can forget about a "fucken asshole"? Or, in a more proper way, "Fucking Asshole". They mean two different things, but they're used in the same way.

[psychopixi]

*snip*... They mean two different things... *snip*

They do?

[beachguy in thongs]

If you think about it...

A fucken asshole, sounds like someone who's asshole has been fucked.
A fucking asshole, sounds like someone who's currently fucking an asshole.
Or an asshole that's currently fucking someone.

Okay, I get what you mean, but when I read it I don't think that. Both just translate to "a person who is very much an arsehole" in the mind de la Pixi.

[beachguy in thongs]

They're usually used in that way.

But when a guy's an asshole, he can be a fucking asshole, or a fucken asshole, fucken's slang of fucking, but it looks like past tense. I've never said Fucken Arsehole, though. Arse is only used with humor, like when someone's trying to be a smart-ass.
