Some wonderful words have come from American English - hornswoggle is my favourite - but 'asshole' sounds like a sneeze. No power in it.

I genuinely had to have a conversation with my daughter abt this. She watches a lot of American gaming stuff & speaks of 'ass-kicking.'

Bizarre conversation in which I explained that the British word is 'arse' so she should say that but also she shouldn't coz its rude.

I think telling people not to use rude words is dumb. Is that rude?

Hehehe. No. I agree & get evangelical abt it. I just stress time and place. I happen to know she says 'fuck' a lot at school.
