Seriously though, I've never heard any American use it as a term to generally define the English.

you're an aussie 😛

Which is more or less poor-man's English.

Just joking.

Oh, it's on b*tches, it's on.

The only British idiom I know is that "f*g" means cigarette.

What if I were to call a Brit "bollocks"? Is that an insult, since bollocks, more or less, means.............uh............"male genetalia"?

It doesn't work.

"Bollocks" is usually used as like..."Shit". "Oh bollocks" etc.

So what, if any, British-style insult is there used for such a style of insult?

As I said, there aren't too many blatant Brit insults. The style of insult over here isn't based on any few words, just the delivery.

I can insult people without using any swearing or slang, without them knowing, it's all in the delivery.

To which I agree, wholeheartedly. Delivery is everything, IMO.

The only reason I ask, albeit a dumb one, is because I seem to remember alcoholic, Irish vampire named Cassidy, from the Vertigo comic book, Preacher, using the word "bollocks" in every other sentence he uttered.

"Screw you, ya bollocks."

"We got completey bollocksed (drunk) last night."

"You have a bollocksy way of doing shite, lad."

etcetera.

Maybe Garth Ennis, the writer of said comic, uses the term more loosley. I dunno.

are you brits still hung up on wit?

I'm sick of that sh*t

Yeah, I was gonna go the whole run-around-on-stage-and-shout-while-making-a-complete-ass-of-myself route, like Dane Cook, but...I'm not a moron.

maybe you should've went that route, then maybe people would listen

I'd like to think I can get a better comedic audience than googley-eyed females and frat boys who like to hear stories about getting laid, because they probably won't.

I call the English "Poms" Americans "Yanks" and Canadians "R*tards"...it's a fair and equal system.

perhaps you expect too much

Someones looking for an excuse to chafe a society with terrible social problems all sourced from the shithouse government.

got it.

what about if you cant find the remote? can you still say it?

Also, a 'fagot', pronounced the same as '******', means a bundle of sticks or wood, so it was common for one to say "Hey, it's cold, throw another fagot on the fire." Or, "Let's celebrate and stand around a burning fagot while we drink ale, laddies!" But nowadays you'd probably be shunned by homosexuals if you said that.
