After living in England where i tried to learn and speak english, i worked for a company filled with americans.
Thus "having a jolly good time" became "we had a riot"
"Bloody hell" turned into "fucking shit !" and all kind of "mother fucker"
"a rubber" became "an eraser"
"I'm doing well" changed to "i"m doing good"

"Good morning!" > "Yo, Blair!"
Disclaimer: I don't agree with the "Blair' Bush's go-fetch dog" theory, but it's still a funny picture. |

Programmes such as South Park are hardly meant to relate facts. |

It's Douche.
I prefer the phrase "Son of a bitch" as an expression of dismay. I reserve fuck for really horrible things, like overwriting my saved video game the other day. When I write though, my characters curse like sailors. |
