One foreign friend, thinking she was using an English idiom correctly got a bit confused with 'b??l??ks' (censored, as in it's common form means dangleberries, but originally meant priests [NOTTINGHAM MAGISTRATES' COURT 24/11/77 - google for a transcript]).
Wasn't that how shops were allowed to sell the Sex Pistols album? Nice work on the part of Virgin Records.

http://www.maxim-magazine.co.uk/profanisaurus/profan_front_index.php is a lightweight site for "roger's profanisaurus" (beware - 18+ language (although show me a 13-year-old who doesn't swear like a trooper))

Contains a lot of very funny swearing slang, from Viz 'magazine'

Seahorse, you have to think around the slang and remember we coy brits have endless euphamisms for scatalogical functons!

Think of a bodily function that involves saying goodbye to something near water!

lol - you'll get used to it - remember the funniest thing to an englishman is a backside, this is why 'pants' causes giggles (well more specifically as here it is used as a shortened form of 'underpants')

Hope you're settling in well, sounds like you are :)
