UK only swear words?

[M3CHA-MONK3Y]

Basically, my OH has got some Americans staying with us this week. Four 16 y.o. girls who compete in rope skipping and have flown over for some training sessions with my OH.
Now, obviously being a good host and them being young, I wouldn't want to offend them. I'm sadly one of these people that is rather blasé when it comes to swearing, nothing too offensive but the odd 'st, bks and arse-wipe'.
Are there any swear words I can temporarily switch to that aren't well known or are not offensive in the US?

Twat?

bks?

[Cara Van Man]

four 16 year old girls you say?

Try the word 'fivesome'.

I've seen pictures of them already. I'm on best behaviour!

LMAO. So how has that managed to miss the swear filter!

So it's filtered in my quote, but not in the original post! how does that work?

Twat, tt, tt, tt?

Apparently if you spell it correctly with a capital 'T' it's okay. Less of a swear filter and more of a grammar filter.

Bugger.

wk/wker/wking or other such wk derivatives

"Brown" is a Swear word.

Basically it means all the insults words you can think of put into one. eg "You Brown" means "you absolute mongoloid, useless fxxstick,coxxead,bellend moron etc etc!!"

HTH

I would avoid all political conversations with 16 year old girls, to ask them if they like Bush or Brown may get you on a register....!!

They know bugger sadly, it's a favourite yank word when they want to sound sophisticated.

Oh the poor deluded fools.

I have to admit though it is funny hearing an american say it, they put a funny emphasis on the "er" part.

I have an American friend who I met at university. He picked up on the word 'wker' without really picking up on its category 2 offensiveness. He went on to work in the White House and is now an international lawyer.

He seemed to equate it to the word 'chap'. And used it inappropriately in shops and to bus drivers all over the place. His 6'4" stature probably saved his life.

So 'wker' maybe hasn't crossed the Atlantic.

That means bum in US parlance.

[JonRB]

Mongoloid, spaz, spacker and deacon will probably pass under their radar. As will twunt, rollocks and arsebiscuit. Well, ok, maybe not arsebiscuit.

Calling someone a div is very Brit-only too, although my American friends have picked up on it and are starting to use it themselves now.

Compete in rope skipping?

[Cara Van Man]

I have 4 berths free if they need accomodation.

Toggs and his son can move out.

Yeah, you know, with a rope and they jump over it. It's a sport that most of Europe competes in. My OH does it for TV shows and the like.
