•Bugger: Reasonably mild curse. "Buggery" is another word for anal sex; the verb "bugger" is often used in places Americans would say "****" or "screw": "Bugger that, I'm out of here!". "Bugger that for a game of soldiers", "Bugger off!", etc.
◦While quite mild Oop North, it's rather more offensive down south, especially to the older generations. Same applies to "sodding" (see below).
◦Also, it may be "reasonably mild" but is still stronger than its typical US usage as a synonym for "critter". Many British players of the Monkey Island series were ... taken aback to hear Guybrush look at a piece of termite-infested wood and proclaim "look at the little buggers go!"

The Mayor said it in this episode of the Powerpuff Girls... I was expecting it to be cut.
 

•Wanker (actually, this is used a fair bit): "To wank" is "to **********"; the meaning of "wanker" is left as an exercise for the reader. Given that this is a reasonably strong swear word in the UK (not being used before the watershed as a rule), it is particularly entertaining to hear it used casually in US shows, with a similar level of severity as say "sillyhead" or "twit". Example - The Simpsons episode "Trash of the Titans" features two uses of the word and was broadcast at its usual 6pm slot in the UK, causing a rash of complaints and also much falling about with laughter.

Yup. They cut out any use of it on the Simpsons... Well, on Sky One anyway. I didn't watch that episode on Channel Four. They most likely cut it out of other shows too, but I don't know what.

Yup...

Recently, I randomly realised that I started using the word "creep" to replace swears when i'm thinking, and I have no idea why, other then it sounding like "bleep"....

"What the creep is going on here?"
"Frankly, I don't give a creep."

Hah, it looks and sounds weird :p
 
You can call people creeps though, so that's not much of a censor...

"Stop being so creeping weird"?
 
"Stop creeping annoying me, you creeping creeper!"

This is fun. I think I may make it my new sentence extender :p

I say 'fudge' and 'ship' for.. y'know xD
 
Hah. Sentence extenders are fun :teeth:

On this TV show, the idiot said that his name wasn't on the cupcakes, but held it upside--down. Instead of reading CHIP, he was reading dIH)... But the H looked more like a K, so it read diK), or close to dick... Reminds me of a Dexters Lab episode where Dexter & Dee Dee got encryption rings to get into a club. Dee Dee said at some point that Dexter's club was for I.D.K.S.C's...
