Yes they do, Naps. But to them, "what a ****" is equivalent to us saying "what a drag". Remember, I am surroundered by Yanks at work ...

Really? Interesting....

But they still don't have "w***er", so Ivor Biggun's song wouldn't be understood at all...

Again, they do. But for them to say "what a w***er" is not as derogatory as we would assume. It's more on par with "what a buffoon" ...
