Finding America

Me and Tarah

If the British are good at one thing, it is this: creating sex words. So prolific are they, in fact, that America - arguably still the world's largest superpower - cannot keep up.

Sure, one might occasionally hear an American rattling off a phrase or innuendo he or she heard on
Austin Powers, but for the most part certain British sex words have become lost in the pond.

Here are 15 British sex words and phrases that they don't use in the United States of America.  

1. Willy (slang: penis)
2. Shag (slang: to have sex with)
3. Roger (slang: to have sex with)
4. Muff (slang: vagina)
5. Bell-end (slang: the head of the penis)
6. Arse (slang: backside. Equivalent to ass)
7. Fanny (slang: vagina. Not to be confused with the American meaning of fanny)
8. Wank (slang: masturbate)
9. Toss off (slang: masturbate)
10. Bum (slang: backside)
11. Knob (slang: penis)
12. Bugger (slang: to have anal sex with)
13. Bollocks (slang: testicles)
14. Tit-wank (slang: when a man has sex with a woman's breasts) 
15. Rumpy pumpy (slang: sexual intercourse)

  1. So is a "tosser" a person who masterbates? (Please forgive my ignorance- or Americanism.)
