In actual English, that is, in the English used in the England that developed and still evolves the core version of the language, “*†has three well-known meanings : an informal term for a cigarette (“get us a packet of *sWe can take this out of the English language as well. In German, the musical instrument we know as a Bassoon is known
while you’re at the shops mateâ€), to become fatigued
(“I can’t go on. I’m *ged†- this one derives from “fatigueâ€) and an archaic term for younger boys at public
school who essentially valeted for the older boys
(“Venables Junior was the Honorable Tim EntitledAndDim’s
* at Etonâ€).
Other meanings may have originated in the colonies but they are not in common use in the U.K. and I’m not from any of those upstart neo-states. None of the usages in English (as opposed to the bastard child American English) is swearing. Oh, and a “*got†is either a meatball or bundle of
sticks to be used as a flaming torch. Also not rude, though
the contents of the meatball are often pretty disgusting
(warning - often contains offal). I used to think they had
cow brains in them as well when I was a child, but it
transpired that was just the brand name (Google “Brains
Faggotsâ€).
A “* packet estimate†is a perfectly ordinary and common English term for an outline solution simple enough to be
written on the back of a torn open cigarette box (twenty’s,
typically), for instance when bringing about an end to world
poverty in the pub over the third pint.
as a....*got.
Or, just for a change, YOU, Gobble-de-gook, might be incorrect!!Not in Britain they won’t. Americans with a modicum of intelligence won’t be either.You might be incorrect.
