Italian, sez I, for its mix 'n' matchness.

Porco Putana! (Pig Whore!) Porco Dio! (Pig God!) Dio Putana! (God Whore!) Dio Cane! (God Dog!) Porco Cane! (Pig Dog!)

Apologies if this causes offence, you pig dogs.

'Heme sheme peck hogee da'. Korean. I wont tell yo the literal meaning but it is slang for 'Your mom is a whore'

ps I just spelled it like it sounds.

(ever see the video for the Birthday Party's "Nick the Stripper"? Cave is shirtless and emaciated with "PORCO DIO" scrawled across his chest. It's disturbing.)

Lech mich am Arsch! Und fick dich, Arschloch!

Psia krew jekasny! Pierdolic sie!

Thai for "smelly face" is ee ma nen. I did ask for the Thai translation of "gayface" but my lovely Thai friend said it didn't translate hem hem.

Hotdamn! That's one fine link. So Dutch + Spanish = 503 swearwords in total, and that's just the official ones, because I checked the Dutch one and they didn't feature any of the 1588 combinations you can make with kanker. A bloody outrage, you kankerklootzakken!

no me importar tres huevos...I don't give a fu**. keto - japanese for 'Hairy Barbarian' in reference to all westerners. Shahah - Arabic for 'Excreter'

There was this one great Catalan oath I read about that translates something like 'I shit on the five wounds of Christ and the carpenter who build the cross' or something like that. Creative.

vete a la mierda, tu madre se chupe los pingos de tres perros muertos, jodete por el culo de tu hermana que tiene una concha mas larga que la canal dd panama.

― Geoff, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah Ned that one rules. I also read a Spanish one that went something like: I'll use your bones to built a ladder so I can climb to your grandmother's room and rape her! Pffff, use the frontdoor dude.

― Omar, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Punjabi. Things like: "Penn Chaud" = "sisterfucker".
"Vurr panday vich!" = "Get in the dishes!" (in a sense of Fuck Off)
"Harmazaday!" = "bastards!"

It sounds better when you actually hear it.

in italy the region with the most outrageous expression is tuscany , a region with a strong communist and anti clerical past ,they have developed a swearing art : once I've heard a very old lady , who had just missed a bus , scream " madonnina sbudellata" ( eviscerated little virgin mary) ........

Bokamon! I have a book of Japanese slang. Lurve it.

― nathalie, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Japanese slang eh?

Purely a joke, ya dig?

― Kodanshi, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Italian, sez I, for the relative one matchness of the mixture ' n '. Lousy Putana! (Whore Pig!) God Pig! (God Of The Pig!) God Putana! (God Whore!) Cane Di God! (Dog From The God!) Cane Di Porco! (Dog From The Pig!)

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Omar is quite correct, the variety of gory swearwords in Dutch involving cancer, TB, or other illnesses is mindboggling.

― stevo, Saturday, 13 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I still think the Dutch are the only ones who do that, still haven't figured out why exactly, typhusleier. En nou opkankeren. ;)

― Omar, Saturday, 13 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Funny, this isn't the case in Belgium.

― nathalie, Saturday, 13 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Moe the bartender = American, so American. not swears exactly, but: "I'm gonna shove sausages down your throat and starving dogs up your butt! Then I'm gonna use your tongue to paint my boat!"

will no one speak for Scotland??

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 13 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe a bit off topic, but here in Melbourne Australia there is a popular Irish pub called "Pugg Mahones" which is apparently Gaelic for "Kiss My Arse".

― Dean, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pogue Mahone = kiss my arse (=> The Pogues)

― Nick, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

English is great,for the sheer explosiveness of words like 'fuck'.'Poo' has a certain explosive quality to it too,but that's not swearing.
