Either way, I thought Cantankarous was British up to about six months ago, so what do I know?

Ever since hearing this line in some Brit comedy series on BBC here in the states, I've loved using this one during my road rage moments: "Move yer bloomin' arse!"
I just love it. Bloomin' arse. There's no American slang that works as well.
