Unofficial English (part 2)

Shite
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Originally a Scottish and Irish word, now used in Wales, England and even all former British colonies in place of shit but only when suitable, it does not always replace shit in any context. Many non-Scots and non-Irish have started using it in the incorrect context making it sound contrived and plain fucking stuping.
Why are you feeding me this disgusting shite?

Bitch
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Bitch is a commonly used slang word that is nonetheless vulgar when you throw it at a woman or a man. The word originally meant, and still means, a female dog.
This word for a female pooch has evolved to a more common meaning: a woman you don't like. In those cases, a bitch is kind of a female jerk, although feminists would argue that the term often gets unfairly thrown at any strong willed, assertive woman. Many males call each other bitch, too, implying that the other guy is a weakling. Another common use is bitching or to bitch and moan, meaning to complain about something.

Fuck
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Fuck is one of the most common words in English — it's also one of the most offensive. Its main meaning is "have sex," but it has hundreds of other uses.
This slang term for sexual intercourse is not a word to be used lightly — it's an obscenity that, if used on some television networks, could cost the person who "dropped the f-bomb" thousands of dollars. Despite all the people who don't want to hear it, fuck is one of the most common obscenities, and can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, and adverb. It's often used as a modifier to add emphasis to another word, as in "that's so fucking stupid!"

Cunt
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
A vulgar slang word for a woman's genitals or a person you dislike, cunt is a contender for most offensive word in English. The c-word should be avoided at all costs.
This is one of the most disliked and inappropriate words around. The word is a little more accepted in England as a term for a jerk, but in the U.S., you'll rarely hear this word because it is considered obscene and extremely offensive to women. The main thing you need to know about this word is that you really shouldn't use it. Ever.
Pedro? You mean that cunt standing over there?

Dick
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Dick is a vulgar slang word for a penis. It's also an insulting thing to call someone you don't like, especially a boy or man.
Much like ass, this word for a below-the-belt body part is very commonly used as an insult meaning pretty much "jerk" or "idiot." Only males have dicks, and this insult is usually used toward a guy who is "acting like a dick." Lots of people find this word offensive, especially parents, teachers, and other adults. If you have to discuss a dick, you're better off saying penis or using a slang word that's sillier and less offensive, like johnson.
Don’t be a dick to him, his life’s already pretty shit as it is.

Cock
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Cock is most often used to refer to either birds or guns. A cock is a rooster, but it's also the hammer on a gun that you adjust so you can fire it.
You might hear the word cock used to mean "penis," but that's a vulgar form of the word, so be sure you're in the right company if you opt to use it. A cock is a male bird, particularly a rooster. When you cock a gun, you raise its cock to make it ready for firing. When you cock something in a certain direction, you are tilting it that way.
How the fuck did you idiots cock that up?

Prick
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Prick is a vulgar term for a man's penis and a way to address someone (usually a man) who is acting like a total ass. It is best not to use these terms in polite company.
Well, if you weren’t such a prick the whole time maybe we could have gotten off with just a warning, but no, you just had to start fucking with the police.

Douche (douchebag)
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
A douche is a type of hygiene product women use to clean their vaginas. Douche is also a common slang word for "jerk": the variation douchebag is extremely popular.
There’s no clear way to define what a douche is, though anyone acting arrogant, jerky, or nasty might be described as one. Since this is a slang word that some find disgusting and particularly offensive to women, be careful when using it. The d-word isn’t as bad as the f-word, but your mother or your teacher probably doesn’t want to hear about “That douche in my math class!”

Hoe
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
A hoe is a trashbag who thinks having sex with only one person means one person at a time. Has sex with multiple people and thinks it's okay to do that. Can be male or female.
If you’ve ever seen someone write THOT on the Internet and didn’t know what it meant, don’t worry! I got you covered! It’s an acronym for ‘That Hoe Over There.’

Slut
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
A slut is a vulgar insult hurled at woman and it implies that she sleeps around or has sex with too many people. It is not cool to call any woman a slut.
This is a sexist word that should be used with caution or not used at all. Calling women sluts is a way of shaming them about their sex lives, and that's really no one else's business. Unfortunately, there are a lot similar words to slut, such as adulteress, hussy, whore, loose woman, strumpet, and trollop. The word is sometimes used for men, as in man-slut, which may be a sign that our ideas of sluttiness are changing.

Whore
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
In the original sense, a whore is a prostitute: someone who has sex for money. The word has since broadened to mean anyone who is money-hungry.
Today a whore can be a person that compromises himself in any kind of way for monetary gain. It's also a nasty thing to call someone (especially a woman) who has a lot of sex and is often used as a vulgar insult similar to bitch. It's not really an appropriate word to call someone.
‘Damn horse racing, took all my money. Not sure how I’ll make it to the next paycheck…’ ‘Whores racing? Excuse me?’

Bastard
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Bastard used to be a not nice thing you called a child whose parents weren't married. But now it's a more general insult hurled toward a jerk or bad person. Bastard can also simply mean "fraudulent."
This is a great example of how words change in meaning over time. Today, if you were called a bastard, it probably has nothing to do with whether or not your parents are married: it just means someone doesn't like you (unless they call you a magnificent bastard, which is a compliment). Bastard can also mean phony or fake, like a bastard version of French that is not correct. When you think bastard, think illegitimate.

Fag (faggot)
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Fag is mainly used as an offensive term for homosexuals. Although it has other meanings, you should probably avoid it at all costs.
This is a very strong word that should be avoided in nearly all situations: fag (short for faggot) is a hateful slur against homosexuals. Because fag is such an offensive word, the other meanings are uncommon, but fagging has also meant working hard and getting tired, as in fagging out.
Would you two fags stop jerking each other off? At the very fucking least don’t interfere? Please?

Fapping
Level Up English Club – vk.com/levelupenglishclub
Fap is an internet neologism, an onomatopoeic intransitive verb referring to the act of male masturbation, whose sound is imitative of the associated slapping of testicles against the body. Fapping refers exclusively to male masturbation; female masturbation is (in context and by association, but very rarely in practice) referred to as paffing or squishing.
Reportedly it has its origins in the Japanese-language comic sound effects used in manga, in reference to the same act.
Okay. Look. Stop fapping to sports cars, we came here to do other shit.
