Prick is a good one too, rolls off the tongue and yet is so sharp. None are particularly offensive at all, and depending on where you are in the country may form part of the dialects backbone.

All are included in regular speech in UK and like Cookeh says, many are just part of the day to day language. Now go to Scotland and the 'F' word is also part of the daily language. I used to work with a guy we called 'F'n Bob', as every second or third word was an 'F' bomb. No one took offence as that was just Bob.

Very nice avatar Matt !

I don't know very well the profile of most of ours members, and so don't know if someone here would be able to pay so much for a 850. We love ours ones, it's not "rational", but such a so huge price, by these times...

Really ?
