No Dowding, for some reason "banana" and "tosser" aren't used a lot here in the US. Probably due to the fact that US guys are more attractive to women, better lovers, and the women are a lot prettier too, so it's easy for us to get dates with the opposite sex, as opposed to you UK types.

But seriously folks, drive safely and tip your waitresses. I'll be here through Sunday, and then at Lee's Lounge and Steak-a-teria next week.
No, I don't know why we don't frequently use those terms. I guess calling someone a jack-off or a jerk-off is more prevelant.
Personally, I think banana sounds more fun. Tosser is kind of good too, because it makes me think of "toss-pot", what people used to empty into the streets from their upstairs living quarters in days gone by.
I also use s***head a lot too. I think s***head can really be a good descriptor of someone's personality at times.
Any further q's on US slang use or non-use, just run'em past me old boy.
My father teaches English, but you'd never know it from talking to me!
