No, we spread other flavorful things on our bread over here. Although I'm quite partial to just butter and toast

When I've heard American friends of mine use 'tnuc' or 'twat' as a derogatory noun, it just sounds weird.

how do u feel about north americans using british slang
I say cheers quite a bit out of habit. About 50% of my daily social media interactions are with western europeans, thus a large majority of my conversations have a cheers or two thrown in.
It's all about the context of it all. If I'm typing I'm likely to shoot off a renegade 'cheers' here or there out of habit. But vocally I don't use it near as much i rare hear cheese in vocal conversations.

when I lived over there for a while in the late 90's no one knew what those words meant, or tosser, wanker, bollocks...could get away with saying a lot!
yeah but surely swearing at someone loses its effect if they don't realise.

Isn't the word 'tnuc' really offensive in America? Or rather to American Women? Curb Your Enthusiasm may have gave me that impression mind.
