I’m a fan of pendejo. If you’ve never heard someone say it you’re missing out. It’s always said with such utter contempt and the “de” is emphasized so hard it’s practically spit out.

In Italian we have a category of curse words called “bestemmie” which they are actually illegal to say because they’re an insult to God or the religion in general.
Some of my favourite ones are “Dio cane” (god is a dog), “Dio merda” (god is a shit), “Dio boia” (god is an executioner).
I work in an Italian kitchen. Frustration is pretty common among the chefs, but when I hear a porco dio flying around I know they’re pissed off as fuck
[…] they are actually illegal to say because they’re an insult to God or the religion in general.
What? That seems excessive.
Yeah, tell me about it! It used to be in the penal code, so it was actually a crime.
Now they depenalized so you only get a fine, but still. Italy should be a secular country, and yet…
Finnish swears are pretty fun but my favorite is perkele
Perkele is the best but the one I use most often is vittu.
And when you really need to drive the point home, the holy trinity is of course vittu saatana perkele
As the other commenter said, vittu is the most common one but I really also like jumalauta, which is like “my fucking god”
Also some more interesting common phrase is “voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi”, literally translates to “spring of cunts and blackberry winter of dicks”
Also some more interesting common phrase is “voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi”, literally translates to “spring of cunts and blackberry winter of dicks”
As a Canadian, this is the phrase I was looking for when I saw snow sticking on the ground after a nice warm period in the last couple of days. It’s perfect and I love it.
so what’s the cultural significance of a “blackberry winter”? does that mean like it’s abundant with something?
Cultural significance is probably just the fact that Finland is north and cold, it’s often joked that the summer is short and with little snow. I can’t really explain it, but the word “takatalvi” feels extremely Finnish in every way, the meaning, the fact that there’s a dedicated single word for the phenomenon, and also just the feeling of that word in your mouth
I see. Thank you for explaining
Ever since i played “my summer car”, this is my go to
A classic, the French merde.
It is quite satisfying to say it just out of exhaustion
Ah, putain!
Kurva/kurwa always sounds fun to say to me
Fun fact: I studied a bit of Polish, and I would keep getting Spanish ads on my language learning app that would say “curva” (sounds like “kurwa”). Made me laugh.
Do short phrases work?
Because, if so, the Chinese 你妈死了 ( ni ma si la, your mom is dead ) is one of my all time favorites.
It’s kinda basic, but I surprisingly don’t know almost any other vulgar phrases/words in other languages.
Phrases are both acceptable and appreciated!
Russian, сука блять (cyka blyat) (fucking shit, bitch whore). блять just sounds to me like someone mini vomiting or coughing while theyre cursing.
cyka - bitch blyat - fuck
Swedish, “kuk” is such a funny word. I also like jävel/jävla… Um, skit is quite useful. Skitbra means “really good”, skithäftig is “damn cool/really cool”.
In German, my other language, I like Hurensohn, Verdammt, Arschloch…
Hodenkobold (Testicle Goblin)
Kacklappen (Shit rag)
Pimmelnase (Cock-for-a-nose)
Andi du bist 1 pimmel
Which language, please?

Klootviool (bullock violin)
Teringlijer ( sufferer of typhoid)
Zakkenwasser (scrotum cleaner)
I love all dutch swearing, as a microbiologist there is something particularly satisfying being able to tell somebody to ‘krijg de tyfus’ or to call somebody a ‘pleurislijer’
Yeah the disease thing is weird and wild.
It’s interesting which diseases are ok to swear with and not.
Typhoid and cancer are ok, but cerebral palsy or aids aren’t.
Cancer is very much a controversial one depending on who you’re with
Oh yeah it is.
I meant in context of Dutch swear words, though. It’s one of the most common swears, almost on the level of English fuck.
In not saying fuck isn’t controversial in English as is one of the two words that have a ‘the F word’ status to refer to it without saying it. However it’s the most commonly used swear around.
So that’s what I tried to say, but controversial was the only word that worked for me.
Klootviool is kinda similar to Arschgeige. I don’t know what it is with violins and private parts.
Or the Americans and their tiny violin.
Merde.
