Answer 1

slightly off the question, but it i find it quite sad that in this day and age people can still get offended by "swear" words,
there is a constrant stream of there use. In the media you can read columns containing words you would never have dreamed of seeing ten years ago. And the children, wow. they swear like midget troopers. but it has no meaning.
Tv is full of it, Hollywood as near on glamorised its usage. And there is no escaping these words. So we should really by now just shrug shoulders at the use of this colourful language until it all becomes irrelevant and meaningless.

We swear for all reasons and in all moods. A lot of comedy relies on swear words for its laughs.

great original post though.

Answer 3

From the North East UK: People in Yorkshire referred to those from Lincolnshire as 'yellow bellies', based on the fact that the Lincolnshire Regiment had yellow breastplates.

In Stockport (North West UK), there was (and probably still is) rivalry between the pupils of Stockport Grammar School and Stockport School. The former called the latter Blue Bugs (because of their blue uniform), and the latter called the former Grammar Grubs.

Answer 4

My parents say: "It's got double L in it, and it isn't Cwmtillery!"
to each other, meaning the alternative word for testicles that sounds a bit like bullocks.

Cwmtillery is a local town. Strange, but I seemed to have picked it up. Confuses the hell out of my boyf who doesn't even come from Wales, so has no idea what I'm talking about, considering I now live in London and no-where near Cwmtillery.

Cwmtillery, in case you're wondering (Which come to think of it, you're probably not), is a complete dump.

Answer 5

'Bloody Norah!' seems to be an exclamation used in parts of the UK, though who Norah was and why she should be so sanguine defeats me (as far as I know there wasn't a naughty Norah in history).

Slightly to one side of your question, although I'm a Brit I used to do a lot of travelling, especially to South Africa, and Afrikaans has some wonderful expressions which - at least those that I was introduced to - don't seem to relate to bodily parts or functions but are simply descriptive. There's one which phonetically goes something like: Honderpowpoworlakkie - that's not quite right because their vowel sounds are slightly different - but it means 'a woman with a mouth like a chicken's a*se.' (We've all met them). I used to take great pleasure in muttering this under my breath when in countries other than SA whenever I encountered one.

Good luck with your quest.

Answer 6

emjob, there are countless publishers (extraordinarily short thoughts) that may not post a narrative with severe swearing or intercourse. it particularly is suggested of their writers rules. in basic terms make your characters slightly smarter than the time-honored highway clever sort. possibly they only use those words in anger. this is one way around it. The Fuc be conscious can get replaced to the Fri (with the G), which sounds a splash extra effectual, yet as quickly as back, do no longer go overboard with it. PJ M

Answer 8

I can't think of any Geordie swear words but then we weren't allowed to use any Geordie (nothing to do with the fact that I'm a mackem, we just had to speak properly) at home. I do call people gimbots from time to time. It's not a serious insult, it means that someone is a bit silly or thoughtless.
