One Britishism I do wish would catch on over here is "shag". It's more naturally gender-bidirectional than "fuck" and less evocative of hostility. "She fucked him" sounds like a strained use of language, but "she shagged him" seems to be just as natural a usage as "he shagged her", as best I can tell. And people don't say "shag you" as an expression of aggression.
