Australia
Out here in Aus, the natives (and by that I mean anyone with an ocker accent) seem to think far less about swearing than they do in the UK, so far as I can tell the only word that is considered a swear word is the "c" word. "Fuck" may be frowned on a little but you can generally get away with that to all but your 80 year old auntie.Other than that, everything else seems to be fair game. In fact, I was stunned when watching a vodaphone ad out here on prime-time tv:
"Heres the new vodaphone deal. No contract, no line rental, no blah blah" and so on for several lines, then right at the end, "in fact there's no bollocks!" . Took me 5 attempts at watching that ad, before I was sure my ears weren't deceiving me.
Other than that, I can't think of many others, I've been trying to get Woo-yay into the local vernacular, but only had limited success, and that was in an online game.
