I like to learn about words from around the world and use them in my speech. I have a particular love for British words. I just love words like spiv, nod, wasteman, barmy, slapper, bruv, lezza, shafted, nonce, junkie, bint, smackhead, nutter, slag, breve, chav, squiffy, slaphead, looney/loon, bender, and dosh.

Oh yeah, I've picked up some Brit slang and completely stole "no worries" from the Aussies

I'm super prone to using "bloody" when I want to curse but shouldn't. It usually slips past other americans. Taking the piss is another fave.
