oohhh… yea i always assumed it was grody not grotty. it would have only confused me for a minute, if you used it. im an american, but give us some credit. just because we laugh when you talk about a bunch of fags in your boot doesnt mean we dont understand. its just different, and so fair play to be made fun of.

I know grotty well, but I’m Australian so it’s natural English to me. Like the comic so far, btw.

WTH…I’ll add this: According to Eric Partridge’s Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (8ed, 1984), “grotty” was popularized by the Beatles…since my friends were huge Beatles fans they no doubt picked it up in the mid to late 60s. Both “grotty” and “grody” are listed in my Unabridged Random House Dictionary of the English Language (2ed, 1987).

So yes, it kind of crossed the Atlantic at some point.

And despite what Mil Millington might think, we Americans aren’t that easily confused; even at my advanced age I can usually manage to keep up. So go ahead and use the British slang…if we don’t get it we’ll ask.

I knew people using “grotty” in college in Indiana in the 70s; none were British or had visited there. Don’t know the British pronunciation, but they said it like “throaty” rather than “spotty”.

Just found this from a link at http://www.meekcomic.com/; looking forward to reading more.
