{British vs American English Insults and Slang words}

Well in this lesson I am not asking you to be disrespectful to

someone and I'm not even asking you to call names however, I'm just helping you

with certain English insults, wherein you would get an idea what exactly it mean

if someone ends up using it for you then, you know how to give it back to them.

So as we all know that there's a slight difference between British English &

American English so here I have a list of insults wherein the meaning of each is

the same however, the words are different. The word in British English is different

Whereas in American it's different. So we are gonna start this lesson with the first

word here that is 'Arse' . Now 'Arse' the meaning of 'Arse'- the literal meaning of 'Arse' is

buttock, however here it's a slang and it's an insult

well Arse means someone who is extremely stupid and irritating - He is such an arse.

so usually the people who use British English they would end up saying - He's

such an arse, which means he's so stupid he's so silly and irritating, but when it comes

to Americans they're not going to use the word 'Arse', they're gonna use the word 'Ass' Okay

Now, a lot of other words are derived from the word 'Ass' like 'Kick ass', 'Kiss my ass', Dumb-ass'...

you know these are certain words that have derived from this word 'ASS' however, if

you...... only if Americans end up

using the word 'Ass' it means that they are referring to a person who is extremely

stupid and silly

okay, The other word that I have for you is 'Knobhead', Now, 'Knobhead' is again someone who is

extremely annoying and never fails to show off his stupidness, okay. This word

belongs to British English whereas, when it comes to Americans they would not end

up using the word 'knobhead', but they would use the word 'dickhead', okay. So which

means someone who is very silly and stupid. Then the third word that I

have for you is 'Plonker', now, He is such a 'Plonker'. My friend is such a plonker. What

exactly it means- well, It's pretty much similar to these words here it also

means someone who is very silly, okay stupid and annoying or irritating. So it

refers to a person who is extremely stupid and the word is 'Plonker' when it

comes to British English, but when it comes to Americans, they're gonna end up

using the word 'Idiot' okay. Very common, I'm sure you all have come across this word

an idiot means someone who is very silly irritating, annoying and stupid. So

basically these three words here, have prettymuch the same meaning. Now let's look at

the fourth word which is 'Slapper'. Now 'Slapper' is usually used for women

well, a woman who ends up sleeping with all men..... with anyone and everyone

Okay, she has no character, so she is called a 'Slapper'. There's a woman in my

neighborhood, there's a lady in my neighborhood who is such a slapper like

she would end up having sex with several men

So, women who sleeps with a lot of people, but if you end up using this word in

front of Americans, they would have no idea what you're talking about

so the right word for the same meaning in American English is 'Tramp' okay. So, tramp

is used for a lady who sleeps or who has sex with a lot of people

Then the next one is 'Sod off'. When you're angry, and when you ask someone to just

leave, to get lost

go away, then you'll end up saying - Just sod off, okay. So 'sod off' is an angry

dismissal. When you end up saying just get lost

So in British English it is 'Sod off', whereas in American English

it's 'Piss off'....like ...just go away

well Americans also use the F word, I'm not gonna say it, but it is ......f***k off, So it's

the F word or the end up saying 'piss off', okay. The next one that we have is 'Radge' which means.... a very

'Violent person' who behaves in a very violent manner or a little mentally ill

Okay, but when it comes to American English, they would say - That's Insane

He's Insane, She's Insane. So, Insane is the words that they would use for a person who is just crazy

or mentally unstable or mentally ill, okay. So, if someone uses that for you.. hope you get back to them...

The next one is "Bugger', now 'Bugger' is a person

whose behavior is extremely displeasing, like that kind of a person is not liked by many

So, such kind of people who are mean, their behavior is very displeasing, then

they can be called as 'Buggers' whereas, in American English they can be called

as 'Jerk'.He's such a jerk, which means he is so mean, okay. There are so many jerks in

my college. So, this means that there are so many mean guys in my college.

So, it means a person who is very mean or whose behavior is extremely

displeasing and most of us do not like such people so you kind of insult them by

saying 'Bugger' and Americans say 'Jerk' ,okay. Then the last one that I have for you is 'Lickspittle'

and for Americans it is ' Bootlicker'. Now let's understand what 'Lickspittle' means

Well, the meaning of it is ....someone who would do anything and everything to grow or to

get a position in his career, who would literally lick his boss's pit, so someone who

can just do anything ,that's kinda disgusting... I don't like such people, so such people

who do anything and everything to be in the good books or to get to a position

in their career they are called as ' Lickspittles'

whereas, in America they are called as 'Bootlickers', infact there's another word for

such people that is 'suck up' ....'Bootlickers' or they are such 'Suck ups'

or when it comes to British English they're called as 'Lickspittles'. Okay, someone who can do anything

lick their bosses pit, in order to grow in their career.

Now if you realize most of these words are slang words and they are quite offensive

So as I said

beginning please don't use them.. quite often... okay, it's just for you to understand what

exactly these words mean and hope this is clear to you, so make sure that you

understand that all these words are all 'put down' words, okay. Wherein your are being

disrespectful to someone, you're calling out someone with these names, okay. I'll be back

with a new lesson for you, till then you take care.......
