Read especially the last one.



My favorite curse work is F u c k. It's the only word i know of that is a noun, verb, adjective and adverb. It is perhaps the most versitile word in the english language. You can take any sentence and add **** or some dirivitive. Maybe twice or three times even.



I'm curious about swearing in other languages. What are you favorite curse words in other languages? (Sorry Mods)

    It's not really a swear word, but I probably use b i t c h the most, in one of many forms. When I was working construction, I could sling around the f-word with the best of 'em, but I've been trying to cut back.

    My 'favorite' one, because it's short, sweet and to the point is "F U C K". But cuss words only have an impact if used, rarely, and with pointed intent, and as a *last* resort, in anger or when really making a point. If you use the word when people don't expect it, it has a great dynamic and surprise element and makes someone take notice. When used in every sentence, as an adjective, adverb, noun or verb, it just becomes another sound, a grunt without meaning. As in a piece of music, a composer won't use a huge orchestral crash in every measure

    Those are all good standard curse words, but my favorite by a mile is "cockslap." It can be used both to refer to a person, or an event. As in...



    "Dude, why don't you stop being a fuckin cockslap and give me the remote control?"



    or



    "So, I was going like five miles over the speed limit, and this cop pulls me over and decides he has to search my car. Fortunately I didn't have anything in there, but it was such a cockslap anyway."

    Windows

    You can say "Oh man, that's so Windows"

    or "Ah, what a bunch of Windows"

    or "It got all Windows on me, and stopped working"

    or even, in an extreme case

    "How about you make like Windows, and get a blue screen of death?!?!"

    For use when describing the person who knows his/her place on the ladder perfectly (and it's higher than you).



    dripping *******



    This is a rather different use of ******* than in common American language, where it describes a mean person. (Funny that it does, since it seems to suggest submissiveness to me... whatever). This person will gladly wipe the Boss' ass after he's had leaky diarrhea, but when he speaks to you he's rude, low, and domineering.

    The two worse words in English is F*** and C**t. But as of late the C-word has become more offensive. I rarely use that one if ever. i think there is more taboo on it because it usually denotes the female and is much less PC. And it's much less versatile.

    C U N T is actually a legitimate word, with a long history and has only become a swear word reletively recently (according to Mary Daly) . . . its all a matter of how it is said.





    my other favorite curse word, besides ****, is the more accurate *******-***-****!!!!
