Smeghead

I don't disagree, but it's difficult explaining to Americans how "you have a head consisting of the congealed semen and other matter scraped from underneath someone's foreskin" is only a mild insult.

Particularly when with a decent proportion of them, you first have to explain what a foreskin is.

    Well "smeg" is just from Red Dwarf but "smegma" is an actual word, and that's where they got the word from. They needed a futuristic swear word - Lister can't be someone who doesn't swear, but this was 1980s BBC - and they came up with that.
