Homer famously used the word wanker in one episode, can’t believe it not on YouTube.

In America, the word wanker isn't as offensive as it is here. In Married with Children Peggy Bundy's maiden name was Wanker.

F**kingc**tybollocks, as my mate used to say.

Really! :O Would like to see THAT broadcast at 1800! :)

Can't remember what it was but a few years ago there was a US sitcom with a Mr Wanker in it because apparently it doesn't mean the same thing there.

Are you thinking of the Paul Hogan Show? There was definitely a character in it with that name.

Hogan?

If used sparringly, it can be very effective, but I don't like to see it used too much... In fact, if he had used the F-Word all the time, it would have been far less funny.

What he said ^

I like when they use 'mother licker'.

Best use of swearing in a Sitcom

That's only (morally) right if the one performing the licking is the father.

of the mother?

You sick, sick man.
If you even are a man.

No, the father of the person(s) whose mother it is.

So uhhh, that's the wife. Partner. Thing. >_<

Otherwise it's just plain wrong!

This is what happens when we have rules! Confusion.
Lick whoever you want, kids!
Starting with Aaron.

Is that starting with me licking whoever I want, or people licking me first? :O
