Aye ... I guess you're right: Sod it, etc. However "sodding" is used only as an adjective as in "You've no sodding right to do that!". In Mike's example it would be used such as "You can keep your sodding 10% off; I can get it much cheaper elsewhere".

Otoh "sodding" is rarely heard nowadays. As you know, profanity is the norm nowadays and people are much less cautious with their language, much more likely to say "f***ing".

>Really? No 'sod off' or 'sod all' in England? I guess that's only in the books...

>>>Good morning. (All right, good afternoon). I was waiting for an Englishman to wander by so I could share a flyer that landed on my doorstep the other day. It was from a local landscaping company looking for new customers. The headline: "NEW SODDING 10% OFF." Sounds like quite a deal, no?

>>Hmmmm! Not really. We don't use the verb "to sod" and I'm sure its longer form is the same in the US anyway :-)
