Thundercunt is a favourite of mine!
Dickpunch is pretty good too.

Has "douchebag" or the shortened "douche" made it over the pond into Brit vernacular?

Yeah, but we are more likely to call somebody a dickhead first.

That's true of our generation, James, but my 13-yo nephew regularly calls people "douche" which obviously means it must be a playground thing so I think it's going to take over.

How is it being used? What is the implied meaning?

My sister heard him call me it and asked what it meant..... I thought about explaining it but I'm fairly sure he doesn't know the actual meaning, he's just heard it on YouTube etc.
But he's using it as in to say "you knob" or "you dick", like a gentle insult.

I remember my cousin started calling his sister a dildo and that was the word of the day aged ten. Until she trumped us by asking us if we knew what it meant. We didn't, but you are still a dildo. Oh how innocent we once were.

Arsebiscuits! is one of my current favourite expletives.
Gadgie = man/bloke
Auld Gadgie = old man
Knobtrotter... that has a nice ring to it too.

I got away with calling my dad a cunt when I was 12 on a similar basis, James...... I said "stop being a cunt" and he gave me a death stare so I said "what, it only means 'pillock'!" and he couldn't correct me haha.

Oh, sorry for the language, non-Brits! As previously mentioned, that word isn't as offensive over here and I believe alethionaut pointed out it's a term of endearment in Ireland. ;p

Do we take anything offensively? Language is fine. It's sort of the intention behind it that can make it bad, not the words. I find swearing funny but wouldn't do it in front of respectable folk.

I legitimately have a friend who refuses to say 'the c word' and a female friend who hates it so much I'd never say it around her. I agree with you though - context is the thing.

Do you combine swear words to make it more descriptive? It's fun. You know 'dickshit, wankbollocks, twatface, nobshite' etc. My favourites at the moment are; Arsebadger Twatwaffle Cockwomble
