Are British swear words universal??

It seems to me no matter where in the world you go people know the F word along with the 1 and 2 finger salute. Are the British swear worlds universal or is it only those who speak English the ones that use them?

    • Well durr I don no, meybe it has sumthin to do wit the British dominance from around the 1700s to the 1940's and the American dominance onwards? Nooo dat can't be, dats impossibru. Also most British swear words are pretty much confined to the UK. The prominence of the middle finger and f­uck are more due to American influence in the past century than British.

      American's don't say bollocks? I believe Germans have a form for it however.

      Well as much as i know americans don't use the swear wan**** or bol***** that much if ever. Also from my experience america and Britain have different meanings for fanny. Although the others probably are universal because english is a universal language.
