    Too many syllables as an insult is what it is.

    True. Sometimes it's more complicated than all the Japanese words for "you"

    For example, c**t can be either extremely nasty (and probably get you a punch in the face) or affectionate, depending on how close you are with the person and their gender. And whether they're the type of people who take swearing at each other and grinning as affection.

    OTOH, I don't think I've ever heard "wazzock" or "tosspot" as terms of endearment

    The c-word is never affectionate. Never, ever ever.

    Basically, any and all words can be affectionate and insulting, depending on how their used.

    You know, because that's what words are, you plebs. xD

    Yes it can. My mom and I call each other all the time.
    I'll throw a "Monty you terrible, terrible !" in there from Withnail and I.

    I'll also throw insults around like confetti on xbl to dan and paul and they know I loves them.

    I thought 'Big Girls Blouse' was an Aussie thing because 'ouse' sounds are so much better/horrifying/hilarious in our accent. That'd be grooouuuuse.

    Wouldn't it be "blass," more or less?
