| Yeah I'm loving the words too. I think y'all (well really all UKers) have the corner market on delightful English slang and curse words. |

Does it have an etymologic relationship with the Persian word "Sasani" (ex: Sasani Empire, Sasanic people) ? |

Has anyone done "Bampot" yet? For definition see "Numpty".
I also like "jakey". e.g. "checks that jakey radge cunt. He's a right bampot".
I prefer central belt slang to North of Scots drivel. I can't stand the doric min! |
