Hi guys and welcome back to love English. Today a little bit of a controversial
lesson, yes that's right I'm going to teach you to swear like a Brit to really
sound British when you're feeling frustrated and angry and annoyed but to
avoid using this word F##K... there is no getting away from it
this word (F##K) is rude it is vulgar it is not nice and it doesn't sound good to use it
and to be honest in British English we have so many other ways to swear that
although rude are not as strong and offensive as Ffff....you know the word I'm
talking about!

what are your favorite British swear words how I miss any out that you want
to share comment below and let us know right so let's start with one of my
favorite British swear words bloody bloody it can be used to add emphasis to
well anything it's bloody hot I'm bloody freezing I am so bloody tired of this
today when talking about a difficult situation what a bloody nightmare that
was at the party last night with everyone arguing add some exclamation oh
bloody how I can't believe I forgot to call her use it with an adjective to
intensify it she is bloody crazy what a bloody awful
party or use it with a noun what a bloody mess what bloody weather we're
having today but be careful although bloody is not as rude as that one you
would want to be careful with how and when you use it it can be considered to
be blasphemous meaning insulting to God and religions so the Brits came up with
some alternatives you could say bleeding or bleeding hell what a bleeding
nightmare blooming it's bloomin hot today blinking
I'm blinking tired what a blinking nightmare and blasted blasted hell oh
what a blasted nightmare for me I would more commonly used bloody or bleeding oh
bloody hell Oh bleeding hell if I want to sound a
little bit more polite our next British swear word pissed now this can get a bit
confusing because in American English to be pissed is to be angry she was so
pissed that I didn't call her last night but in English British English we would
use piss to describe someone being drunk and
pissed off to describe someone being angry but of course we like to use this
swear word quite a lot so we would say she is on the piss or they are on the
piss when they are going out to get drunk they're out for the evening and
they're drinking a lot of alcohol with the intention to get drunk they are on
the piss to piss about means that that you are messing around you're being
silly maybe childish I'll stop pissing about
and help me do the washing up now more advanced is to take the piss out of
someone you could also say to stop taking the piss it means that that you
are perhaps joking mocking somebody and not taking them seriously so it's
definitely a more advanced expression but it is one that we would commonly
used she took the piss out of him when she
saw what he was wearing to the party a bloody off or Hawaiian t-shirt another
very common British swear word bollocks bollocks this is the more modern version
of the anglo-saxon word bollocks which has the same meaning essentially except
not those kind if you catch my drift we can use bollocks for many many reasons
so it is super versatile and a very useful word to know when you want to
swear in British English when something goes wrong if you break something if you
forget something if you've done something wrong Oh bollocks I bought the
wrong paint for the house Oh bollocks I forgot to give her the money I owed when
you think someone might be lying to you you could say bollocks I don't believe
you all that's utter bollocks means completely untrue I do not believe you
utter meaning very really totally untrue really you forgot my birthday present
bollocks I don't believe you you forgot again you can also use bollocks when
something is really good this phone is bollocks it's amazing and a more
advanced expression it would be the dog's bollocks a little bit of an idiom
tik expression but it is one we commonly use so when something is the dog's
bollocks it's not literally the dog's bollocks but it's essentially the best
amazing fantastic for example love English is the dog's
bollocks and finally if you give someone a Bala King if you Baalak them you are
telling them off you are reprimanding them my teacher gave me a right Bala
King for not doing my homework I will not be making that mistake again
and finally Sode Sode actually means earth that is covered with grass a piece
of earth covered with grass so how this became a swear word I'm not entirely
sure but it is a very common one firstly of course you can say sod off Oh sod off
will you meaning go away and it is slightly
softer and more polite than telling someone to off you know the word but
remember it is all about intonation so you could potentially use it in a more
aggressive way will you thawed off oh come on
sod off it really does make a big difference when you're swearing but just
in general - how polite you might sound and in softening your language so be
careful with that one you can also use sod as a noun to describe a badly
behaved person he owes me ten quid and he forgot again
what a salt don't forget quid means one pound in British English slang sorting
sorting it can be used as an intensifier in the same way that we use bloody it is
bloody hot today it is sodding hot what a Saudi nightmare that dinner was
sodding awful I am not having fish and chips again bloody English food has
anyone seen my sodding pan I put it down somewhere and I can't see it when you
have had enough and you don't know what to do you are tired worn out you can use
Saadat thought it is an exclamation I have been looking everywhere for my
sunglasses sod it I give up oh I haven't done my homework again sort it I'll just
have to get a bowler King we can also use a sod all
nothing what have you done today anything interesting so doll really now
finally there is sods law sods law is the equivalent British version of
Murphy's Law meaning if something is going to go wrong then it probably will
it is a little bit more pessimistic and negative but then again so are the Brits
just a little bit our wedding was booked for the middle of summer but sods law it
decided to rain so there we have it that is it it really is as simple as that we
have so many different swear words and swearing expressions in British English
that you do not need to use this word using the word for you know the word
using this word is rude and quite vulgar it's not very polite and it certainly
doesn't make you sound very intelligent so avoid insulting people too much by
using some of these more traditional alternative swear words and please do
