Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, huh. Must be why it's one of the few British cusswords I haven't heard on Torchwood, that I can recall.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's fucking snowing....

So, it's just lame. An even better reason for not being used on Torchwood.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey MM just wanted to make sure you saw my post above your last one--I TOTALLY wasn't calling anyone on this board low class! I am sorry if I gave that impression. I was more specualting on why there is so much odd pressure not to swear in the country.
