OK, thank you for clearing that up, now I feel like a twat - but then cunt would work as a general insult towards any non-Australian English. Add racial epithets to the mix and you can probably get a rise out of most people.
-
Wouldn't be surprised as they're cunts, too. But I have to admit that it's more prevalent with the Ozzies.

Tell that my UK and Australian friends.

If you're after imaginative insults, look no further than the Scottish; they've got it covered, although they're not that easy to understand (unless translated or you've read a lot of Irvine Welsh).

That exchange student must've been a bit posh, because in common UK/Australian vernacular cunt is an extremely flexible word, from an insult to calling someone a true friend. I guess douche could be a matching US insult, yet again something to do with female genitalia.
-
It depends on your audience, calling someone a cunt in the US will make them recoil in horror, in the UK or Australia it can be a term of endearment. Racist epithets are always a safe bet. It's always been very disturbing to me that there are countless (sex and promiscuity related) words to insult women with, but only a few you can insulta a man with.

Ah, nice - he's a new name to me, which is surprising due to the lengthy duration both of us have been involved in electronic music. Looking forward to trawling his discography, there's a lot to digest.

Brainy dancey IDM from Hungary, waiting for the complete release before making judgement, but interesting enough to note.

This is the only major FSOL-related Jumpin' & Pumpin' I'm still missing. The Pulse set is fantastic. -
Six pieces of neo-nostalgic breakbeat hardcore bleep from Sound Science (i.e. Jack Smooth), Mike Ash, Jerome Hill, Scanone, Meat Beat Manifesto, and Hooverian Blur - summoning the spirit of raves of bygone days. Highly recommended.

I saw him on that same tour here in Helsinki, it was great.
