Default An American on BBC1 this morning just said Wanker
Mitch Benn
and a American talking about UK shows that go to USA.



He said Like Wanker - we do not use.

He thought "Wanker" could be used at any hour.


Of Course in our shows we do not use "Wanker"
only after 9PM.

I wouldn't know it was that offensive a word eigther.

Just for the benefit of us Americans, could someone post the official "banned words" before the watershed list? I'd find it interesting. I bet there are a few other words Americans wouldn't think of as that bad eigther.

Kinda like how you guys say fag(for cigarette) all the time, but it's really offensive here.

Yeah, I think they would just about stretch to nob...
that would probably have the presenters sucking in their breath, but not apologising to viewers

Nob and shag are not classed as swear words. Do people even still use the word shag? It's such an 80's word along with bonk.

Bonk and shag are stupid words. Very cheesy and dated.

But, "wanker" is forgivable. It's not that bad a word and obviously doesn't mean the same in America.
I remember Matthew Fox being interviewed on Jonathan Ross and had no idea what Ross was going on about talking about "wanking". It only twigged 10 mins in and he got the joke. lol
