Mark Butler is the sort of bloke who you’d meet in a pub on a lazy Sunday arvo, strike up a conversation with, and watch in awe at the amount of information he spews.ÔøΩÔøΩ In his latest offering, he gives his audiences a guide to the most offensive words, according to surveys conducted in England and Australia.ÔøΩÔøΩ The man has done his homework.

Butler uses the audience in an entertaining way, choosing 15 participants to figure out what the 15 most offensive words are.ÔøΩÔøΩ Using rhyming cockney slang, stories from his life, history lessons and general observations, Butler gives us some very funny and not so subtle but clever clues as to what these words are, how they evolved, and why Aussies are so good at swearing. Being English, Butler applauds the antipodean way we bastardise profanity and language in general.

It is always interesting to find out the historical context of our favourite swear words, especially the most offensive of them all’three guesses as to what that is, people.ÔøΩÔøΩ This word, according to Butler, was once used as a name of a street where prostitutes hung out. I thought Butler was taking the piss until I did some research and found out that it’s actually true. Kudos to Mark Butler for an educational and entertaining look at the four letter word.

A warning: people who are really offended by the most offensive word in the world, brace yourself. He makes the audience sing it out loud!
