Glad you like the months and sorry, I didn't realise Americans didn't know about Phwoar.

If you want to pronounce it differently thats cool but the usual way it is pronounced in Britain is 'Fwore'.

I may be telling you something you already know here but Phwoar is an unpleasant British exclamation of 'cor, I find that person a bit sexy'

There more lewd passion it's said with the better. It can be found throughout loutish British culture from 60s Carry On films to Lads Mags such as FHM.

It is occassionally (and more offensively) accompanied by a gesture where you raise your arm and clench your fist towards you whilst your other hand rests on the raised arm. (Someone could write a H2G2 Info page about it explaining it better than this if there isn't one already...)

I chose Phwoar for A****t because that's the only month that's ever slightly hot in Britain (fingers crossed)as the word could be taken as a synonym for Phew! Both sexes wear less clothes, obviously, making it the most Phwoar month.

I have turned pink with embarrassment and I am now thoroughly ashamed to be British! smiley - blush

Nice orangutang.

You give your new friend Clive a nice pat down and by the way that lump in Sir Loins pocket isn't because he is glad to see Shea it is in fact a banana.

Why don't you go get it.
