personally, i dislike the americanisms

the word chav means nothing to many americans |

I hate kids that talk like that in the U.S. Since I've moved to Michigan they use some ed up slang/terms here.

In Boston, California and some other states , the word "wicked" is used a lot as in that band was "wicked" last night.

It's funny that you mention that, since I've joined I've been called a wanker, twat, tool, douchebag and then to top it off nchs09, who I consider a British Puertorican called me a gimp on a few occasions. :( |
