I am on a number of British forums and they can cuss with words I never heard before.

I have to ask them what the effing hell they are talking about. Of course then I have to explain the American cuss words and sayings to them.

Sometimes it causes problems. When Queen Elizabeth died I said she died with her boots on.
The Brits were upset but I said it is a high US honor
Meaning she died doing her duty to the very end.
