Pretty stupid way of puttin' it, pumpkin head.


The word "arse" is a wonderful example of "British english",
versus the "American English" three-letter equivalent.

However, your use of the word "hell" should be capitalized.

Moreover, a "pumpkin head" would seem to be a particularly
American English appellation; should you more appropriately
call him a "damson head?"


If you tell me you are "Sat on your ass", I don't know whether you
are an idle fellow or the owner of a donkey.
