Osmosis of language?

[midnight Target]

I think its all bloody awful. Makes me want to suck petrol and get run over by a lorry.

[NUKE]

I use arse because of the language filter, would never use it in converstion because I don't want to sound like an ass.

[ravells]

Gee!

I think it's a goddarn shame. Makes me want to open the trunk of a truck, get my saturday night special and toast some mofo who's been looking at my bit*h like he wants some poontang.

Thanks, Nuke...

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Here is your job for tomorrow, Americans!

Call someone an arse!

See what they say and report back!

I will use an American term of choice and report back too.

You have to tell me which one

Fanny.  

[ravells]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Ravs:D

[Tarmac]

Preferably something like "I fell and hurt my fanny" or come out of the bathroom and say "you should have seen what just came out of my fanny!"

[ravells]

Wait...a fanny is a bum to you guys, right?

Ravs

[Tarmac]

yes, it's an old grandma word for ass.  It's a avacado to you guys, right?

[ravells]

Yes.........which is what makes your request quite disturbing!

Still, I'll do it!

I'll report in tomorrow.

HOWEVER!

As we're playing for keeps. You must use the word 'Rubber' in the context of 'Eraser'.

e.g. I used my rubber because I wrote something wrong with a pencil.

Deal?

Ravs

[Tarmac]

done

Ravs

as a kid we always used arse instead of bellybutton when mom was around,  the slight modification could keep you from getting knocked on your arse.

[ravells]

In Malaysia, when I was a kid, our servant used to beat me to a pulp if I used the word 'bloody'.

I had a friend who went on vacation with an Indian family.  After two weeks he realized he was talking like Apu from the Simpsons.  The funny thing was that the Indians didn't even notice it.
