"your ridiculous belief about how one's understanding of the English language is directly related to their nationality"

I don't think I was implying that - not nationality certainly.

A colloquialism (which the T word is, far more so than the C word)can only be understood fully in all its emotional, cultural and succinct ways by someone who is from that culture - you are not, that was all I was saying.

And yes it is a vulgarism but as I said it won't tell you how vulgar - on a scale the C word is the worst.

Stop throwing around the emotive words and phrases:
"and you can argue all you want but it won't change the fact.."
"I am not going to even address your ridiculous belief.."
"Don't get me started on..."

No wonder posters come at you all guns blazing... put your point across in less emotional terms.
