Thanks Gypsy.
I hope I'm not offending too many with my use of the word as I use it mostly in good humor. I just really like the way it sounds. I work on motorcycles for a living so I call all triumphs wankers and such.
Haha! That's one I've not heard of but now that I have I'll be mixing it in with all the usual good natured things I call my coworkers.We use that word a lot in the UK.....because there are a lot of wankers about..
In Australia its considered to be almost a term of endearment...
Even rude words have their place in the English language, and can spur humour. How about this one:
TWUNT
n. Useful, satisfying yet inoffensive combination of two very rude words which can safely be spoken in primmest and properest company. Twat and c u n t.
"He's a right twunt!"
Pillock roles off the tongue nicely as well, kind of like bollocks (sp?) and wanker of course. I think we yanks seem to have limited vocabulary, especially when it comes to ways to give each other a hard time. I'm enjoying learning some new words here and I thank you for that, as well as a place to learn so much about the plant we all love so much. I'm truly thankful that icmag exists and to you for making it happen.Here is another very British one:
PILLOCK
Noun for Idiot, fool. Originally a slang term for the penis but fairly inoffensive now as this meaning has been forgotten. Derog. ref British Slang Dictionary
'You silly pillock, what did you do that for?'
Thanks brother. I'll read up and learn some new words to introduce to peeps around here and on in my grow thread.Here is a fun link for British slang translations into American English Fiddynut:
