LONDON -- We're really, really good at swearing in Britain.
We pride ourselves on it. Whether it's screaming foul-mouthedly at fellow road users, blasting four-letter words at cold-callers or simply tweeting a creative mish-mash of insults at our best-loved politicians, we've got this whole bad language thing down to a T.
Here's some sweary proof...
1. The time this Scottish mum told her daughters off.
2. The contents of the "Wanker Wednesdays" Reddit thread, which encourages people to moan about people/things that annoy them.
3. This glorious, 11-minute-long supercut of British road-users' sweariest moments.
4. This sweary piece of artwork.
5. This phone recording of a not-exactly-satisfied BT customer.
6. This blunt (but undeniably creative) response to David Cameron.

12. This classic clip from the opening of Four Weddings and a Funeral, which contains 13 expletives in less than two minutes.
