Most of it looks like the product of someone who got horribly drunk,
then headed into a darkroom, dodging and burning tools in hand. Some
of it isn't bad and a very small fraction is actually good. But is it
is as misused by people as most Brit landscape shooters overemphasize
green and can't seem to balance blue to save their lives.

I have never seen that term applied to a male, except in the photography
newsgroups. Is that British and/or Australian usage? (Sorry to stray OT, but
I've been wondering about it for weeks.)

Common American junior high language.

Common usage in the UK, Oz, and Ireland by those who are common.

Not calling a male a ****, though.

It is a most useful term if you want to terminally insult a female.

Possibly. Using the term implies some sort of gender abnormality and is
derogatory simultaneously.

LOL. Well put. Calling God one might get you in some strife.

Right. Just as some males are bitches.

But it's all so crude in writing in a public forum. Shows lack of verbal
skill, usually.

Nonsense. No gender abnormality is implied. When used to describe a
male by someone from the UK, Australia, or Ireland it's simply a
vulgarism describing a contemptible person.

It's similar to the US usage of "asshole". You aren't implying that a
person has a rectal abnormality when you use that word. You are just
picking an offensive and vulgar word to express your contempt.
