Title: This thread could be recycling and used for a new topic by someone else
Post by: mongers on March 27, 2025, 04:28:17 PM
I'm suggesting this thread can be reused by anyone who wants to start a new more interesting and engaging topic.

Just post you new topic title in the thread and I'll retitle this one.


It was previously this:

The Daily Hurl Some Abuse At trump and his dumpsters.

I'm not sure if this English word* travels well, but I feel it's rather fitting:

donald trump is without doubt the biggest Wanker* on the planet.

I think British film industry and the TV series "The Inbetweeners" made "wanker" fairly understandable for most of us.

I'd like to add bell-end to the mix.

Yeah, wanker, bell-end, knob, are fairly well known by now, I'd assume.

They're known here, by native speakers at least, but people would look at you weird if you used them in casual conversation.

That's because they're bell-ends.  :bowler:

It is always a bit of a weird cringe moment when you hear foreigners trying too hard with such words. Even delivered with perfectly fine pronunciation at a time which text book works...it often sounds off.
It's a curious phenomena

It's the thought that counts  :bowler:

I'm going with syphilitic cockweasels myself; childish but it does cheer me up a little  :bowler:

I think this thread 'space' could be better used by someone else, see my edited first post.
