I presume this applies to British soldiers too. To which I reply:

WHO THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYING WITH, GOBSHITE?

Is this like the "Mother of all wars" threat from the Gulf War? Let them continue to run their mouths. It makes the Frogs and Germans look more assinine!

PRONUNCIATION: gobshite (rhymes with "bob might")

NOUN: Chiefly British Slang A person regarded as mean or contemptible.

ETYMOLOGY:Perhaps ultimately from obsolete gobshite, wad of expectorated chewing tobacco or tobacco juice : gob2 + dialectal shite, excrement (from Middle English shiten, to defecate, from Old English *sctan; see skei- in Appendix I).


Delightful word Ivan... well-chosen and precise.
