<p>I love British slang. It’s probably the only thing I’ve always liked about going to a British-system school. I used to always get teased about my accent (guh) but nobody cares anymore. It seems like everyone wants to be American.</p>
<p>Anyway, I can’t count how many times teachers have called me a muppet :D</p>
<p>Wow. I haven’t lived in England for over 10 years and these insults are bringing back random memories o.O</p>
<p>I forgot to mention I like the words wanker and twat, and bollocks, depending on the situation.</p>
<p>@yoursky: I LOVE SKINS!!!</p>
<p>Not only do they seem to sound aesthetically better when enunciated, but they also are pleasant to say. I really adore the hard constant sounds.</p>
<p>they do sound much better. i hate words like awesome, rad, far out, hella…and math. that riles me so much…i know rad and far out might be a little dated or confined to really zoned out kids, but what do they use in the states these days anyway?</p>
<p>oh and i’ve never, ever ever heard anyone say merlins pants. thats just ridiculous. if anyone said that in earnest in my school it would basically amount to social suicide.</p>
<p>I remember when I lived in England with my great-grandma she used “wench” in place of “whore”. Don’t know if that’s a British thing or an old-person thing.</p>
<p>Lol…I know ~0 about British slang, but I seem to recall that Shakespeare used “you base football player!” as an insult. 
Just a random thought.</p>
<p>Ahh wench sounds so much more severe and terse. Very cool. I think I’m going to utilize them irl. lol</p>
<p>Hmm. My aunt used to say “wench” instead of “b!tch”. I think it’s just something that crops up every once in a while among people who’re trying not to swear.</p>
<p>(see what I did there?)</p>
<p>^Very nice, lol.
I thought they used to use “wench” as “low-class, usually menial-labor girl of less than marriageable wage.”</p>
<p>Ohhhh!!! Ohh!! A thread was FINALLY made for thisss!!! :)</p>
<p>A thread has been here for this for a while now 
It’s just been recently bumped.</p>
<p>Wench is pretty common. Like, you saucy wench. Sometimes I borrow one from out good friend Hamlet, saying drab.</p>
<p>I say arch instead of that distasteful word for a female dog.</p>
<p>what an arch :b haha I like it</p>
<p>^^I wish I had known!</p>
<p>never heard of arch…but drab is quite a common one? </p>
<p>two words that came to mind recently are swimmingly and malarcky…
i used the first randomly to a friend, and after saying that we both were like, what?
and the second was said to me recently, and again i’m like…wow i feel like we’re back in the victorian age…</p>
<p>^ o__o I always say ‘swimmingly’. I didn’t realize it was that weird, though I should have- I’m the only one I know who ever says it.</p>
<p>Also, I hear teachers using ‘malarkey’ all the time. Hrmm.</p>
<p>^ WTH does malarkey mean? :o My physics teacher calls the guys in my class numptys, never realized what it meant till now though.</p>
<p>^ One of the history teachers (the awesome one) uses numpty all the time.
