Due to my exposure on the Internet, I've begun to take on some phrases and things from other English-speaking countries that I like. "Can't be fucked" is one of my favorites for when I'm too lazy to do something.

Same, "Buggered it" is a really nice workplace alternative to "fucked it up"

A downside is I don't know how to spell gray/grey

Thinking buggered is better than fuck is more silly than thinking cunt is worse than dick. Mind you, none of them are bothering me.

Edit: Well, my spellchecker thinks cunt is worse.

"Bugger" is funnier when you mentally replace it with "arsefuck" whenever you see it used.

I first heard this one from Mumbo Jumbo and fully intend to use it some day.

Oh same. Being Canadian doesn't help in that regard. There's some strange crossover at times. I'm a big fan of "taking the piss".

As a Canadian who's moved to Scotland, my new personal favourite is: Get to fuck.

Fuck off cunt, we're both as bad as eachother

My favorite is using "crap and "pants" as adjectives.

"This show is pants."

"It's a bit crap, innit."

I'm a fan of the word Cunt as a term of endearment after having a few online friends from Australia over the years. Shame you can't really use it much in the states in such a way.
