    haven't read the whole thread, so may have been mentioned before, but 'beaver' has more than one meaning in the US that in my innocent youth was unaware of. Consequently i managed to upset my friends american girlfriend when i described her as an eager beaver !

    Really? Here 'fanny' is the butt. And there are a thousand words for a lady's nether region. And in many cultures. So apparently it's a universally-accepted favorite area for discussion, by both males and females.

    You can tell what are the most important things to a culture by which words have the most synonyms. In Amurica it's money, tits, ass, pussy, and penises. How many slang words can you name for those five?

    Yes, that is true - but I've also heard it (being) said in Yorkshire too
    (Also the Thread title is 'Brits', so - Welsh and Irish sayings are also applicable)

    I'm sorry Wolf Angel, but there are a million more men I'd use as an example of male crumpet before Vladimir Putin! Spot on with Helen Mirren, though.
