By the way It's been changed it is now Londistan!

Indeed, I worked in Whitechapel for a while, 5 years; and even during my time there it changed. It was very recognisably British when I arrived, full of alchos, they even had their own special pub, which I would dip into every now and then just for the experience. It had closed by the time I left. It was very multi-cultural at the time, but it's hard to sustain that, one culture usually predominates eventually.

I hope that was intended as a useful scrabble tool and not a less than subtle dig at dear "Rooster"

Sadly sumpf has yet to make it into the international Scrabble dictionary. May, trump, pence and johnson will have to suffice.

 

Rooster

But I thought C*nt, Deranged, Twit, and Buffoon were already in the dictionary!

Had to respell Twit as Original word with a differnt 3 letter was automatically deleted yet it accepts C*nt

I found it in a very old dictionary!

That is one reason why English can be so difficult to learn when it is not ones native language. It is a continually 'evolving' language.
