If I were in Great Britain and I told someone to "bugger off" would it be treated as as much of an insult as f*ck off?

"Mate" in Australia... It doesn't mean what you think it means, mate.

Well, you're the foreigner, because you're from the USA, not from the UK.

Football/Soccer argument and calling the USA, "America".

This is true

Bugger off is considerably less weighty than fuck off.

Just come to Turkey, we have some really creative insults.

I better dont come to Turkey. Since many people dont realise there is a difference between Austria and Germany, I might get imprioned for being a Nazi.

You won't get imprisoned for being a Nazi as long as you're not from Netherlands LOL!

In SE Dorset, bugger off and fúck off are almost identical in terms of effect (id est the same as go away). They only difference is that bugger off is used less often.

In America we have this saying:

"Blow it out your ass."

It pretty much means I refuse your opinion or idea. It's pretty dismissive.

One of my favorites from Europe would be "Are you taking a piss?" I have NEVER heard that used in the states. It seems pretty weighty.

Europe is a continent, please specify which country in Europe you mean...

Do english speakers in France say "are you taking a piss" or Ireland, maybe??

I've never heard "Are you taking a piss", apart from meaning "Are you urinating?"

it's take the piss, not take a piss, lol.

definitely Scottish and English, probably Irish too. I don't think they say it out of the British isles, but I might be mistaken.

Scottish? A language like that exists?

Taking the piss is a Commonwealth term meaning to take liberties at the expense of others, or to be joking, or to be unreasonable. It is often used to mean (or confused with) taking the piss out of, which is an expression meaning to mock, tease, joke, ridicule, or scoff.

Well, I'll be...

unsure if I was being clear that I meant the people of those countries say that phrase, but that's what I meant.

if you want to get into the nitty-gritty though, there's a language called Scots. read up on it in your own time if you're interested.

and Scottish Gaelic which is the real Scottish, not fake Scottish spoken in the lowlands !

You can learn "Irish" on Duolingo.

Do people in GB call each other cock knocker?
