I used to work with a Canadian ex-Airforce Fireman who would praise a particularly fine woman by saying "I'd crawl a mile naked over broken glass to suck the dick of the last guy that fucked her, eh?"

He really said "eh?" at the end of every sentence as well. And "aboot".

He'd never liven in Canada either - he grew up on RCAF bases because his dad was a pilot - he was the most stereotypical Canadian I ever met.

Lovely guy though.

I always get a kick out of that one.
The technical term for inserting one word into another is TMESIS. Fan-bloody-tastic.

He uses more but that's the ones I can think of right now.

I say "wranch" for ranch and "worsher" for washer. My friend teases me all the time.
A guy I know will say tuff like "Sweating like Fred West digging the garden" (Fred West was a notorious killer and buryer of young girls caught in the 1990s in the UK); or "sweating like Gary Glitter at a children's party".

He was a sick individual.
