Is minge a swear word? I'd like to post that picture, but won't if minge is considered to be swearing.

6. Jackanape - what does that actually mean and is it anything to do with 70's radio and tv starts?

It doesn't mean anything, there's no such word. It should be "jackanapes" and means a trouble-maker. Can't say as I've ever heard anyone say it, ever.

I think we can all discuss the web page without me having to spend all evening deleting further inappropriate images, yes? Otherwise I can just close it now.

Yorkshire is too great for a list of 22.
It's so great it's in its own list of 1.

I work abroad and this one is probably the least understood

But it's Whilst that brings up the most comments as we write a lot of reports.

I find myself using more and more English as a foreign language terms, the worst of which is "For Me"

Poppycock has always been a favourite of mine, ever since I found out what it meant as a child.

Sorry, I haven't clicked the link, but think rapscallion is a brilliant word and should be reintroduced into everyday usage.

I usually find myself adjusting my language when dealing with foreign nations (primarily with spams). It's just easier that way.
