Will definitely watch this later.
In a world of toxic positivity, it’s refreshing to see some spite!
I wouldn’t take advice from someone who wears a hat at home.
Me neither.
Gad, what a noble pose.
Worlds conquered while-u-wait.
So sad to learn that Kevin Rowland’s fallen on such hard times
Withering.
Top beard though.
*blushes*
Cool.
Very Bill Nelson!
Also from someone who refers to themselves using their nickname. Wanker.
Who says “bloody wanker”? UD is a load of trumice (look it up)
He’s coined a word “wankerness” which I intend to use henceforth* in place of the more cumbersome (hur) “wankerosity”
*Henceforth! What a ….tosser
That brightened my morning no end!
Dare to name and shame the musical pickle ticklers!
Wanker is a bit of a strange insult when you think of it. It’s something that everybody does. Might as well call people ‘breathers’ or ‘eaters’.
You typed that one handed didn’t you Jim.
Hahaha

If only!
The poor lad’s vision has deteriorated so badly he can no longer make out the
letters on the keyboard and has to get someone to do the typing for him
If only Alexa had typing skills.
“Alexa type dirty to me…”
You can actually ask it to play Misty for you. And it will.
It would have saved Clint Eastwood a lot of trouble.
Ah, Mazzy ….
Seems like a fun watch & I’ll give it a proper view later today.
I can’t help having a built in ‘disconnect’ when I hear the W word in a transatlantic accent, though. Somehow it just doesn’t land, even if the user is using it perfectly correctly. It seems that only UK, Irish & Australian speakers can really deliver its withering intent.
Conversely, I can’t buy the use of ‘motherf*cker’ in a UK accent – it just doesn’t work.
Divided by a common language I guess.
He does remark on this very disconnect during the video at one point. I agree with you but I also find it childishly amusing and I’m at a loss to explain why. Tbh that aspect is partly why I thought others might derive a modicum of amusement from this too.
Thanks for that, Squeezer. What an entertaining, um, dude!
I like this guy immediately (I think I’ve only seen a minute or so thus far) & he definitely *gets* it – it’s just one of those odd quirks with language that can occur- I wonder if it has something to do the fact that both words are pejorative?
Any linguists out there have any theories?
I find it amusing in the same way. The more he says it, the funnier it is, and his targets are also pretty accurate.
I use “motherfucker” all the time, directed at inanimate objects that refuse to cooperate. Delivered in the staccato style of Christopher Moltisanti, it’s a particularly satisfying expression of cosmic disgust.
Yo Moose But you are totally immersed in Hip Hop culture. Dig.
Fo shizzle, shugah.
Prompted me to think of Tony’s outburst when told that Meadow had gone into NYC to see ‘Aida’ – ‘ I EAT her?!’.
Genius.
I did like Tony’s mother’s dismissal: “He can go shit in his hat”
Entertaining, I enjoyed that. I was curious to see who would make number one and it didn’t disappoint.
I wish he had given a bit more justification for his choices, however. I mean, I agree with all of them, but would have preferred more anecdotes and more rationale!
Anyone prominent been missed off his list?
Would be good to see a corresponding Top Ten Good Guys in Rock.
Dave Clark?
You get all the way to the end, he’s said Wanker about 400 times and then he says “…so friggin’ seriously”.
It’s like the Dave Allen line about being with an American who says, “Awww SHIT, I trod in some dog doo-doo!”
Bloomin’ fuck.
People who get swearing wrong offend me. I am a massive Derek and Clive fan, and though I suspect there is material in the rap genre that might demonstrate effective American swearing, I much prefer the British standard swearing lexicon. People who don’t get this can shit off.
cf Alan Bennett’s Lady of Letters: “I told her to piss up!”
They got Ginger Baker wrong. he’s not a wanker, he’s a cnut. There’s a difference.
You wouldn’t be saying that if he still walked among us
Some interesting choices on that list. He says “2 out of the 3 members of Cream are wankers.” I used to work with a bloke who knew Jack Bruce as their kids went to the same school, and he would argue that Bruce qualifies as much as the other two. He also can’t pronounce “Liam”(he says “Leam” ).
What is it with Americans and certain words? (see also “terror” which they pronounce “tare.” )
The whore! As Kurtz would have said.
Surely you mean “the Hurr”, M…
