Smut, sarcasm, self-deprecation, and innuendo are like the Queen, fish and chips, queuing and complaining.

In British humour, smut is evident as far back as William Shakespeare often used innuendo in his comedies. Restoration comedy is notorious both for its innuendo and sexual explicitness.

The Two Ronnies, George and Mildred, Monty Python, Frankie Howerd, Larry Grayson – all employed some sort of smut.

The British love a bit of soft-core smut, a bit of wrong, a bit of inappropriate, and a lot of filth. Smut is harmless, you can take it any way you want – the right way, the wrong way, or up the Khyber pass.

Innuendo is only filthy if you think it's filthy, so that makes you the problem.

The people who sometimes have a problem with it are the intellectuals or think think they are, who analyse instead of laugh, and who feel that a bit of smut is too low-brow for them.

I'm not offended by what some people might call smut, not in the least in fact some jokes just don't work without the right smutty words here and there

Is the word innuendo really the word for sex in Italian?

I think the real problem is that some people just use smut in a very blatant and unfunny way which just ends up being cringe worthy. They use smut to compensate for a lack of humour.

Hi

A very valid point.

It can be funny without being demeaning or offensive.

Mups is an expert, always funny, never objectionable, so is Ruthio and May and Pesta and Morty and Azure and others.

Foul language and crudity has however no place in my life when there are ladies around.

There are times however, when working as an Enforcement Officer, that you have have to explain things to idiots in language that they understand.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo I say girls, joo hear that?

Be still my beating heart hidden within the mountains of my ample bosom

Is that smutty enough??

I can do filth if you prefer!
