This. I can guarantee you words like (if you'll pardon my French) "peniswrinkle" have never made it into American media that have reached the shores of fair England. IT just takes about three seconds of perusal on urbandictionary.com to see the variety of profanity that Americans come up with (you can tell it's Americans by the way certain words in the definitions are spelled).
