Estonian, because we've got 9 (nine) vowels.

Russian, because nothing is better to curse in.

I can stand up for Python - that's what SPIRE's written in. C++ is FS2's language, right? So it can't be too bad either.

SPIRE is written in Python? Now, I'm truly interested. We should compare notes one day. Maybe sometime after I move to Oz (soon! like within the next 18months).

so i am not the only on to curse in foreign languages more then in his own?

I don't curse. I can't come up with enough swearwords when I'm cursing, so I usually repeat 5-6 swedish swearwords...

/me get's brainwave

let's list the most common cursewords in your language and add an english translation. add an extra section for insults.

[aldo_14]

English is the only language I speak, so I guess it's that.... otherwise,  I'd say either Spanish or Catalan, as i want to learn one of those.

ok.

swedish - english translation

fan - the devil
satan - the devil
jävlar - devils
jävla - f-ing
skit - ****
helvete - hell
förbannade - cursed

so, a rant might go something like
"satans jävla skithelvetes förbannade helvete"
which could be translated into something that would be like that f-word rant in boondock saints.

[kasperl]

ok, here's dutch

godverdomme - goddamit
verdomme - dammit
hel - hell
kanker - cancer
kankerlijer - cancer sufferrer. used as an insult
tering - some other disease
tiefus- yet another illness
kolere - same as above
klootzak- asshole
lul-prick

did i miss anything?

[Stunaep]

why not?

kurat - devil
vitt - pussy
perse - ass
türa - cock
munn - cock
riist - cock
vänt - cock

[kasperl]

is that estonian or russian?

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Guys cool it, if you must do this then make it a game, name the language and list the words but no translations. If anyone has the inclination to they can look them up for themselves.

BTW Kas, calling someone a cancer sufferer as a derogatory term is way below low.

(Hi, this is my first post here btw)

 MAIN LANGUAGE: English
 
 LANGUAGES SPOKEN: English, Russian, German, French, some Spanish.

 FAVOURITE LANGUAGE: Russian, because I am a self-confessed Russophile  but also because it's both powerful, romantic, and balls-out aggressive.

 German is also good for confusing Year 7's by leaping ou of the bushes at school screaming "HALTE! HANDE HOCH!" with a big stick held in my hands like a sub-machine gun.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Indeed.

"Du bist eine Pfanenkuchen" works well for that, as well.

[The Jackal]

I misread that and thought you said "You are gingerbread"....

[Deen]

I voted Russian because that is my language and I think it is great for many purposes.



BTW, Russian "swear language" or "words used when swearing" is called "mat". verb - "materitsya" (to mat )

you know how in the US some people, mostly girls, say "like" between any two words?

well, some guys in Russian school talk like that, only with mat throughout their speech instead of "like..like..like..like".

Here is a couple of jokes

(roughly remember that one)
Scientists discovered that one of the reasons Americans defeated the Japanese in WWII is because the average word in English is 4 letters long and the average word in Japanese has 10 letters. So americans could give orders much faster.
The average word in Russian is 6 letters long. However, when mat is used the effectivenes of speech is multiplied 2-3 times...

Another one:

Scientits invented a clock that moves 1 minute forward each time a swear word is heard. They put it in the office, after a day the clock moved 15 minutes. They put it in the army barracks: a soldier comes in and says: "It's cold as it is, what idiot put that fan on the wall?"

Well it's not so far off, really.

[The Jackal]

hehehe.... I like that second one.

 I did once know the Russian for 'I saw your mother in the park on her knees working for the rent money' (It was an insult used in a book I read between two Russians shouting at each other from neighbouring apartment blocks, which I decided to have translated into Russian but forgot it)

 it worked well on ignorant fat townies but nearly got me beaten up when several Albanians standing at the bus stop a little further down the road heard it and thought I was shouting at them...

you must be jocking, there would be something like a whole page of swearings in french, and counting only the ones I know AND remember. I'm sure there's more swearing words in french than all in the other languages put together.

[kasperl]

i only used the most common ones, if i really start looking i think i can ammas a couple of pages.
