Here are some ways to use the word "sod" in British English:

"Sodding hell!"
"This sodding iron doesn't work!"
"Well sod it, I'm going home!"

I was wondering along a similar lines or debates on how to pronounce "LED."   Is it "L," "E," "D," or something that resembles the word "lead?"  Maybe uneducated Brits pronounce "IC" is "ick."

Here in the US (Silicon Valley) it's almost always pronounced "L E D" and rarely "lead".

SiliconWizard:
Yeah uh. Some people also pronounce ARM "A R M" while others pronounce "arm". I tend to be in the first category although I've heard it pronounced "arm" so often that I'll sometimes use it too. But I find it kinda silly.
