Yes, that’s my most common one. It’s a satisfying sound. I can use that infront of the missus and she’s not too bothered. Drop a c bomb though and I get a telling off, the precious tw@t |  |

Similarly, no cockwipe. Although it is vaguely homophobic. But very suitable directed at someone with cleaning OCD. |  |

About 15-20 years ago a friend pulled me aside to tell me I was using the word caaant way to often and advised me to try and cut down on its use. He was quite polite about it til he ended the conversation by saying ' it sounds loads worse with your pikey accent'. |  | |  |

Big polling news today on 14:36 - Apr 25 with 1537 views | gainsboroughblue | On this subject, when did you start to introduce swear words in front of your parents? I can recall testing the water with a 'bloody' when I was a teenager. I got the full Ronnie Corbett in 'Sorry' treatment. |  |

Big polling news today on 14:36 - Apr 25 with 1536 views | CaptainAhab | Do love a well placed swear word. Couple of new ones for me in there though, "Father**cker" as other have said, but also Pimhole... What the heck is a Pimhole? |  | |  |
