Personally I don't use it, but it always makes me smile. It's so descriptive. If I am displeased I'll say 'bugger!'. OH has a very short fuse when driving. Every other driver on the road is a dick-head or worse. I tell him off but he says it's a release of tension and helps him deal with minor aggravations.

I have some awesome editors who keep me on the right track!<br />We were always taught that "bloody" was worse than swearing, it was common. Common was the kiss of death, even though that was what we were. "Bloody hell" was just crude and we could never get away with using it. So of course I used it all the time. However, in the mouth of a Regency duke, it's unbelievably wrong. A century too early ("Bloody hell" dates from the first world war) and to hear a posh bloke saying something so vulgar, crude. Hard to explain, really.<br /><br />And I spent a very long time in Manchester. I'm a Manc by adoption. We swear worse than Scousers. Well, we talk faster, so we can get more in. I'm always guarding my tongue in the US, remembering to mind my language. We tend to add "fuck" as a mild, useful adjective, rather than anything really bad.lynneconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687025766573756077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918007728226048558.post-42928817493655303972012-07-04T20:05:39.867+01:002012-07-04T20:05:39.867+01:00Loved Nottinghill! :)

I have to admit I have quite the potty mouth. I wasn't raised that way , the worst I heard my parents say is Damn, Shit or Hell. <br /><br />I think it started for me when I started going to all those heavy metal concerts back in the 80s and 90's LOL. Fuck is one that I definitely use alot. <br /><br />Everytime I hear Bloody Hell, I think of Harry Potter and its so funny seeing my teen son try and copy it. No we Americans shouldn't say it doesn't not sound right. <br /><br />vampiremistress2010(at)gmail(dot)comBLHmistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760348905228169738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918007728226048558.post-46956975802810600742012-07-04T03:51:29.279+01:002012-07-04T03:51:29.279+01:00Great post.

I use shit, fuck, or damn by accident once in a while, but have pretty much made up words that have no meaning to take their place.<br />As for UK swearing (which my parents & grandparents used instead of the word cursing) I don't know that many. Bloody & arse I have heard a lot. Bollocks I've heard before, but is very strange to read or hear as an American. I think most UK curse words sound strange coming from an American. <br /><br />Wolphcall(at)bellsouth(dot)netLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584604654075951443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918007728226048558.post-16510656039466306642012-07-02T16:50:42.763+01:002012-07-02T16:50:42.763+01:00This post just cracked me up!

Then I met my husband, who was obviously raised differently and I have to admit, I've become a convert. If you've ever seen the Christmas classic, 'A Christmas Story' you'll recall the dad, who could sting together curses into new and fascinating offerings. I think they modeled that character after my husband. When working in the garage (with the door open) he entertains the neighbors with his inventive compilations.<br /><br />As for UK curses, I've loved the term bollocks since watching Russell Crowe in A Good Year. <br /><br />I'm so glad I stopped by. Who knew cursing could be so entertaining?<br /><br />;-) maccrowne@gmail.comMackenzie Crownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495228596521457813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918007728226048558.post-39024910944802430762012-07-01T20:19:52.689+01:002012-07-01T20:19:52.689+01:00My favorite swear word is shit.

Awesome post, Lily!!! Any time you n...Hahahahaha!!! Awesome post, Lily!!! Any time you need help with US 'cussing', you have my permission to give me a holler. I'd be more than happy to help you out. Seriously!!<br /><br />I agree, Americans using 'bloody' just sounds weird. When I hear that word, my mind automatically hears Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. LOL!!! "Awww, bloody hell!" As far as 'pissed', we get 'pissed off' but that's about it. My mom used to say 'It's better to get pissed off, than pissed on." I guess it depends on your fetishes. (Ewwwwwwww!) <br /><br />We Americans, as a whole, say 'fuck' way too much, in my opinion but it works in most situations. 'Son-of-a-bitch' is definitely a good one when stubbing your toe. 'Shit' is another one we Americans use a lot. 'Asshole', 'asswipe', and 'dickhead' are good ones for jerky guys. I personally like 'dick breath', as well. LOL!!! US words/phrases for sex include; 'screwed', 'gettin lucky', 'gettin laid', 'scoring', 'banged', 'gettin some', 'get it on', 'get with', 'hit that'... I know there's a ton more. LOL!! Got time?<br /><br />I sure hope I helped you some.

But Fuck can get a lil boring so I like to mix out up a lil by saying fuckered up, or when things get messed up its a big fajumble( fuckin' jumble) or I love to clean up the f word for Fb by saying effin for f-ing (like my nieces and nephews can't figure it out) But one word I really can't figure out...alot of Americans are saying asshat....what the Fuck is it? Is it a way of showing your ass by wearing it on your head??? Really dumb...like that's the best comeback you got? Be creative and call them something cool like a cock smoker. Just saying...be creative in your cursing...don't be afraid to think outside the box...make your own words up...own that shit man!!!

I remember around the time of the movie A LIFE LESS ORDINARY, Cameron Diaz said she had to replace "bastard" with "son of a bitch" in the script to sound authentically American. I've been known to say "bastard" plenty, though, so it doesn't sound so off to me. "Arse" is the only one that takes me totally out of a story when I read it (I guess I prefer "ass," my one jingoistic moment here!). "Shag" never appealed to me either (sounds too dry and euphemistic), but "wanker" is great. Anyway, long story short:<br /><br />USA: "motherfucker," "asshole" (I'm assuming "cock" is universal?)<br /><br />UK: "Goolies" sounds good. And I once heard some news item when I was little where Rod Stewart begged overzealous fans to stay away from his "block and tackle"--I don't know how common that is, but I always liked it. <br /><br />This was fun! Can't wait for the Hot Ice series...<br /><br />vitajex(at)aol(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
