It's called a taint. That way we only need one word for men and women.
Using your version we would also need snarse or varse.

I always thought it was "Biffins Bridge"
 
It's another indicator of widespread biodiversity loss globally we are going through. Look at the data of the number of species lost since 1970, it's so disheartening...
 
Hi all: For the 2nd successive year I've got a plague of tiny black flies starting from the kitchen and refuse sacks. . Any tips for getting rid on a permanent basis. I'm currently zapping the bastards with a hand held steam cleaner nozzle jet. No sarky comments like tip a ton of shit in the bedroom.

Hopefully they're fruit flies....clean down area and throw food away, put out a glass of cider vinegar. Apparantly they like cider ( apples ) so are drawn to it and drown. If they're black flies, run to the hills and dont look back.

Wasps pollinate as much as bees. They’re nippy, only if you act like a total shitebag flapping like windmill prick. They think you’re attacking and respond. All you need to do is gently move your hand across their path, they move on. I’ve cured my mrs fears with this.

My pal used to say, I’d rather he stung than flap about like a total prick. Be like that.

As earlier answer stated they are probably related to the fruit fly but I've found are in fact drain flies who live down your plughole. Maybe 2 boiling kettles per day would help in addition to the steam jet. They do seem to be attracted especially to bananas and grapes whether securely wrapped or not. They also don't like mint or lavender plants around.
 
Moths pain at night landing on the telly screen otherwise not mitgered
Wasps, cunts when angry but misunderstood, leaclve them be and they normally won't mither you.
Spider, gotta love em, cunts are about in the house and back yard, if I see one I leave them to get on with their day.

My last ambulance ride and subsequent hospital emergency visit disagrees with you. I didn’t even see the last two wasps that put me in hospital, just accidentally came across hidden nests and blam
 
mentioned on springwatch, the bug count on car number plates, is the lowest since its inception. Also, the wettest 12 months we have just had has been disastrous for bugs...

Again, they are defending their nest. Sorry to hear you had a terrible reaction though.

Is this a joke ?

No joke, we're at our house in Chiang Mai at the moment. I've seen small ones about the garden before, but this is the first time I've happened across one this size. The bosslady wanted to squish it, I valiantly moved it on to a piece of rough ground across the road with a broom.
