  • There something about those UK accents were it doesn't even seem that offensive. Say it like a Brit and it just goes through your ears.  Here a North American accent say it and you immediately turn your head.

  • You could if you said cheeky cow. It's a peculiarly English insult.

  • To be honest, to us Americans the word cheeky is all it takes.

  • Played cricket, pronounced Featherstone-Hough as Farnshaw, and understood why Piccadilly Circus is so named. 

    (That last one is worth looking up if you don't know. It's interesting.)

  • Not a thing wrong with it, Daydream. It's one of those words that is uniquely English and which the whole world associates with London. But I always wondered why it was called "circus" and looked it up a couple of weeks ago. Found out where Piccadilly came from at the same time. :)

  • OK so taking a guess... circus was because there used to be a *circus* there - of the historical kind? not the clowns and stuff you think of now.. but perhaps a place where public gathered or were able to gather for local entertainment such as bear baiting, and street performers?

  • No. Piccadilly Circus had a circular road -- a roundabout, in effect -- and it was the road that was known as a circus. Circus comes from the Latin for circle. The Piccadilly bit was for the tailor who worked there making frilly collars known as piccadillies.

  • I'm terribly sorry, can't think of anything.
    Time to put the rubbish out, get that stuff out of the boot of the car, side-step that dodgy mess all over the pavement, then bugger off down the pub.
