I think technically.

It’s funny how it’s different in the US as well. They’ll air them but get complaints about Damn and Hell. Funny seeing them often use wankers whenever a brit is on a show though as they don’t know it as a swear word :smiley:

knackered - still not convinced it’s swearing but I got told off at school plenty for saying it.
arse - not sure tbh

My Northern Irish friend told me once that damn and hell are a bigger deal as swear words over there too. But then I think NI (and the USA) has a higher percentage of Christians so I guess that must hold sway.

I’ve never really come across this, although I was told off in p1 or something for saying hell.

Gf was worried about swearing in front of parents. When I mentioned to her afterwards that she swore loads (didn’t care, just making conversation) she said lol that’s not a swear word.

Someone I used to workn with said knackered means just had sex, whereas I thought it just meant very tired…Maybe explains it.

Frigging is another one…

but what about the knackers yard for horses - is that just for horses that have had horse sex?

velvet horse blankets could be a great swear word replacement

They say shit on Eastenders and stuff now don’t they? Have done for years. And bitch too.

Remember being on a predominantly US DVD forum shortly after Sexy Beast came out. If you’ve not seen it then pretty much every other word out of Ben Kingsley’s mouth is ‘cunt’. An American on that forum made a comment along the lines of “I guess that word’s just not as offensive in England”. :smiley:

(Was quickly put straight because we weren’t monsters.)

#17

never really come across this either. maybe it was for older generations? (NO OFFENCE LIKE)

#18

Either everyone in Scotland hates me or cunt means something very different up here

#19

did have a primary school teacher though who told us not to watch Father Ted cos it was so blasphemous
