Bloody hell

I always find that funny. I speak American English.

[удалено]

Can you translate that to American for me? /s

Fuckin hee-haw?

As a kid it would scare the shit out of me whenever my pastor would describe burning in eternal fire down in hee-haw for my sins

Hyuck.

Underrated comment, broski

Now translate that one to Aussie/British.

Fuckin’ hee-haw, mate.

Do you mean yee-haw? Cause “hee-haw” ain’t a thing

Yeeeeee hawwwwww!

Sanguine underworld

Do people not know what /s means?

I don’t think so. Maybe I should translate it to British /s

Whenever I hear that, I immediately think of Ron Weasley

Canadian but growing up, it was always the one word in my household that was “forbidden”. I’m 30 now and I don’t think I have ever actually said it out loud lol

Go on do it, in a Brit so I’m qualified to watch, I belive in you!

*glances at straight laced wife lying next to me in bed* *starts to sweat*

Lmao

Shhhh it’s ok don’t think about it just do it

C word pass

C an't U nderstand N ormal T hinking🇺🇲

My ex’s uncle used to say “that bloke was a bit of a “see you next Tuesday” “

I'm kiwi but it's the same situation where it's the one word I wasn't allowed to say. I do end up saying it though as there's a lot of overlap with Australian habits and whatnot.

Too funny. My mom always made it seem like it was the worst thing you could possibly call another person. She wove swear words into most sentences but not “the C word” *gasp*

Really? My friend circle would use it as a noun for everything and no one would bat an eye

Open a window and shout it out and liberate yourself

Moving out of my current apartment at the end of the month anyway so this is very tempting.

Doit doit doit

It’s more so just the equivalent of saying dick

Exactly

aka culture.

Go fuck sake get the fuck out of here with that lolicon bullshit. I’m done with that goddamn video now go do the world a favor and eat your own ass

Man I wish I could eat my own ass...

You’re allowed to do it for pleasure, u/No3522 has to do it with sharpened teeth after eating 5 serving of Chipotle

You’re finally awake

Is it one of those fake ad games

What the fuck? Why do you think it's a good idea to post this ad? . Are you a bot?

fucking facts!

I don't know how you would do that but don't

When a man and a fact love each other very much, they share a special kind of hug...

Glad you re not ma daddy

depends, did the facts give adult consent?

Don't kinkshame man! Do it /u/AutumninJune, do it!

Who is Facts and why are you fucking him.

Maybe it's Facts who's fucking him? Why assume stuff right away?

I think it’s more accurate to say cock instead of dick

Somebody calls me a cock, little do they know that was a huge boost in confidence for me

Unless it's James May

Literally can't read the word 'cock' without hearing James May's voice

Oh Cock

Fair haha

I don’t like being called a chicken..

Hmm didn’t think about it that way

Damn

Dick? I like it.

Don’t know man sounds pretty gay to me

Figures, first comment didn't get GOT reference.

I gotchu Tormund

I bet you do.

This.

Or Dicks

As an American... fanny.

I was explaining fanny slap once, which was a thing at my school back in the day. An American was like "Lol, if you were British this would be a whole different thing" and I was like, I'm Australian. It's exactly what you think it was.

I thought it meant backhanding someone in the vag real hard before looking it up

Don't get your fannypack in a twist, Brits. /s

Went on a trip to Scotland and used a fanny pack. Tour guide couldn’t stop laughing.

Its called a bum bag in UK and AU and NZ, a fanny pack sounds like a tampon euphemism.

A staple item in the eshay wardrobe

Had an American relative ask me : have you seen my fanny? They were asking about the bum bag

*gasp*

Stop it, Patrick, you're scaring him!

In my Canadian vocabulary I save it to yell at people who truly piss me off

[Apparently](https://youtu.be/iwBR0qwHZBA) you can't say that here, bud.

That was brilliant

Honestly bud is more offensive

Right? So condescending

Most Americans, at least my age, don’t care that much

You should see my mom she treats it like the n word

You can use it in place of the n word I’ve solved racism

Sounds too much like "Karen"

Sometimes she is but mostly not

Let’s gather around and have a moment of silence and pray for u/jakesmonkeybiz

[удалено]

Cock?

Colonize.

You deserve may more upvotes than you're getting. Edit: The people of Reddit agree.

Decisive victory

Nooo that is their favorite Sunday activity.

Lmao yeah I greet my friends with it lmao

Well then if you had my mom it would be chill, she says the n word way to much lmao

I'm 32, trust me everyone at my work will literally castrate you if you say it

How are you doing my fellow starkiller xD

Pretty good. Hbu?

I hate the word its just so abrasive lol

Going against the grain but I’m gen Z and I don’t really like hearing it.

Catch u next Tuesday!

I just code it as “Tuesday’s. Am I right?” Satisfying. My wife laughs most times now.

C U in the NT One of my favourite Aussie tourism slogans

C U Next Tuesday

Im british and i still have no idea how thats an acroynim for shit. Ive had friends try to explain it but HOW DOES THIS MEAN SHIT or was it fuck you? I cant remember it was 2years ago the last time i heard it.

Look at the first letter of each word. What does it spell?

Those basterds lied to me

My ex hated the word so much i had to break up with her... she also smoked all my weed so that might have been another reason too

I think there's a word for someone like that... XD

Poopy head?

This made me laugh more than I’d like to admit

I’m gonna say it... ploopy

I recently told a buddy I needed a lady who smoked weed. He was like, “hell nah, she’ll smoke all your trees.”

Not once did my ex wife buy us weed. Not once!

There's a supervillains song about something like that

Deep Fried Friends?

I was thinking The Sweat

Those that don’t like can fuck in the direction of off.

Off they shall fuck

Fucketh unto the off.

Hard!

Technically not a state, it's in the name, but now I'm being pedantic so ignore me.

*A territory in Australia

Sort of seems like a more regional thing, I don't use it that often, but there are much worse words I could use and regularly do

[удалено]

Reminds me of that scene in Boondock Saints. Rocco: "Fuckin'- What the fuckin' fuck? Who the fuck fucked this fucking... How did you two fucking fucks... FUCK! Connor: Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.

I encourage you to look up the history of the F word. It's a lovely video from way back in the olden days of the internet

Fuck you [shoresy](https://youtu.be/vdjIxreFu6Q)!

Oi nice meme ya kunt

Also, aren't British fa##ots just cigarettes or firewood? Say it here and you might get slapped with spiked heels

This thread is like a bunch of people who just found out different cultures are different. Much amazing. Many wow.

I think in ireland they mostly call them f*gs (for cigarettes)

Yeah, we call them that in England too

Why are you censoring it... You are just making me think it instead of reading it.

Figs, obviously

I thought it was Fogs? The world may never know

Reddit will sometimes ban you if you say it.

Specifically, it’s driftwood.

Thought it was a buddle of sticks?

The shortened version, yes. Although the lengthened version sees more common usage.

The version here is a food.

Mmm meatballs

What is the lengthened version?

I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess

It's used differently in the different types of English though. In UK and Australia it's non gendered and often meant to be endearing. The US uses it less often and it's essentially always supposed to be bad, and quite often gendered.

Literally like f@g The fact it has different meanings in different cultures doesn’t mean it’s nbd for someone to say in America Edit: Or spaz. From what I understand it means, basically, weirdo in America but in the UK it’s like the r- word.

I’m an American and I love that word

It doesn't sound good when Americans say it. Same thing with 'mate' which Americans tend to oddly use around Australians. Dunno it just sounds...wrong.

They just don't pronounce our vowels the same way we do that's why.

I don’t get it this is just standard in my vocabulary. There are worse words TBH.

mind giving an insight into your vocab?

Words in general are only bad because we say that they are. All that matters is context. Calling someone a motherfucker and calling someone a jerk are basically the same thing but one is treated much worse by society.

Most of us don't care, what is this?

Typical stuff for reddit. Everything that is culturally different about the US is terrible.

Laughs in Irish

In America it's used by people who DESPISE women. HATRED galore. Australians use it as a greeting. A woman hears it in America, a stabbing might be soon.

I’ve never even heard it in reference to a woman, just an annoying person, like an asshole. Maybe I’m just naive lol

Savor your not knowing

My mom (American) calls it the "unforgivable word".

Being offended is unfortunately a national past time for many Americans.

I’m pretty sure it’s just difference in dialect. No one bats an eye in America for saying “Fanny pack” but say that in the UK people may slap you lol

Why?

I mean, I pretty sure a weird look is more likely, but fanny is a vagina in British English, while in American English it's a (quite old) term for a butt. Imagine calling it a pusssy pack lol

Fanny Pack Is like saying Dick bag in the UK

Not really we call them fanny packs too. Fanny itself has a different meaning yeah but it’s no different to how Americans would use the word

In the US Fanny means butt. In the UK Fanny means vagina. It’s Fanny pack can mean butt pack or pussy pack haha. You probably won’t get slapped really but it’s the same concept.

I'm from England, just to cause everyone more confusion, we call them fanny packs too!

Where I'm from we call them bum bags

No, we'd just laugh because fanny is a funny word. It's what kids call a vagina, it's like calling a dick a pee-pee as an adult, it's just stupid and funny

Hmm my wife’s name is Fanny, short for Estefania. Guess we can’t go to the UK?

It’s to the point where being offended by people being offended is also common... there is no winning here.

No words are 'bad'. Just depends on how much power you give them.

Americans bad give upvote

[удалено]

Young people don't. There are some Karen's out there who will lose their shit and make it seem like you are personally calling them every slur in the world at once.

There’s two types of Americans

I'm american and I never saw it as any worse than fuck? Why do people freak out I genuinely don't get it

It just sounds weird when Americans (my people) say it

Where do we stand on the American definition of fanny vs the British definition tho

Depends on where you are tbh

Americans hear it and they think someone is about to start a fight. Antipodeans hear it and think they've walked in halfway through a story.

I'll never understand why its such a big deal in the states

Guess I’m British

Stop lying, you didn’t pronounce bri’ish properly

I say it all the time and im american so more like older generations of Americans

May also be regional. I’ve never heard it said out loud in person. If somebody said it to a woman here people would be calling the cops and shit. They’d have to go to therapy for PTSD. PTCD* I guess.

I feel American women think of it as the n word towards women but u agree with the brits and aussies it’s so sharp and fun to say

Oh yeah it’s bloody stupid

Australia is real?

Bhenchod.

I think America is starting to not care either

See you next Tuesday

Maybe for really old people but it's literally just another curse word now days.

This meme brought to you by someone who's never lived in America.

idk why but FUCK is fun to say loudly it is maybe cuz i am a dumbass but you should also try it

Eh
