Hi Little hawk, i have a friend in New York, he loves the word "WANKER" which really means the same thing as tosser, he cracks up every time he hears it, it is his lifes work to get everyone in America to say it with a British accent.

Hi Ruth, i think it depends on your definition of Racism, it seems that the tolerance levels to such a term is varying depending on your political view. to me Britain seems obsessed with the term, and is starting to manifest in the population the desire to call anyone a racist just for acknowledging that some one is from a different ethnic background, or using the word "Black" in describing someone or something is not racist, using someones ethnic background to gain control and superiority over such a person is racist. Its like pornography really, to some people page 3 is offensive to others its just a harmless bit of fun.... it all depends on your own perception, i personally think that Britain is eating itself from within with this racial obsession. Most people are intelligent enough to live together in harmony.
