    Being American, I've always kind of been partial to "Wanker". I don't know why, it's just a funny word and you rarely hear it in the U.S. It's not quite the same using it if you don't have a Brit accent. I like "Puff" also when describing someone gay or a feminine guy. I think the Brits and pseudo Brits(Aussies/Kiwis) have the best slang.

    Do you mean 'poof'? :D:)

    Bloody oath/Streuth/Crikey - nothing really, just an exclamation
    Snag - sausage
    Dunny - toilet


    Most of the time I don't even think of these and other words as slang. Like thongs. It's clearly something you wear on your foot. And a root is clearly a shag.
