toolbox 0 #1 January 19, 2013 Why do alot of people in the UK refer to Pierc Morgan as a smarmy twat? What is a smarmy twat? Do they call him a smarmy twat because he was implicated in some kind of phone hacking scandal or something to do with murdock news corp? Inquiring minds want to know!

RMK 3 #3 January 19, 2013 A good number don't care for him, however he's an entertainer and British television is pretty shit (excepting documentaries and period drama). However, if this in in reference to his US viewpoints re guns in America, then yes, he has has near unanimous support among the UK population."Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamUK 3 #4 January 19, 2013 If you're smarmy then you're someone who is insincere who will lie to your face but appear ingratiating with it. I think you know what a twat is. P.S. I'd say Piers Morgan is more of a cunt than a twat due to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwieder 0 #6 January 19, 2013 Yeah, but he's not in the U.K. so he needs to conform to our culture while he's in our country. If he don't like it he can fly back accross the pond while it's still a voluntary move on his behalf.
