Accrington Web - View Single Post - Australians and their use of 'bad language'

It's not so much the actual words themselves. If someone used them as an expletive when they were shocked at something which had happened then it would seem altogether different.

But it did sound a little offensive to me in the ad when the attractive young woman turns to the TV audience after having told us how wonderful Australia is and then says "so where the b.h. are you?" It's not so much the words as the attitude which normally in this country accompanies those words, like she's insulting our intelligence for not being on holiday there.
