The majority of my family is of Italian and Sicilian descent but growing up in such a diverse country, I can swear in atleast 5 languages.

Fellow Canadians, illegal immigrants, FOB's lets share some of our favorite swear words in different tounges.

It can be a 2nd language of yours or even just a word you learned off a friend, co worker, cab driver etc..

I'll start...my gf taught me (sp?) Hooey Dupa

it means in your ass in Polish

Porco Dio!

You'll know that one.


Here's some Spanish swearing too;

Cabron - Bastard
Maricon - Wanker
Hijo de puta - Son of a slut (bitch)
Joder - Fucking hell

Teach us some cockney swearing Rachael...like Swampdonkey or something along those lines

I'd also get fucked up in my house if i said porco dio lol.

its like worse then saying fuck

My favs in espanol...

hijo de puta - son of a bitch (actually son of a whore)
verga - fuck, also means penis (but literally means something to do with a boat I think)
pinche - damn
Not a swear word, but its slang and important nevertheless… morta = weed

Andate tutti a 'fanculo!

Carajo => Exclamation not unlike our "shit!"
Concha tu madre => Your mom's pussy [very bad]
[...] de mierda => Put what you want in front of that, it usually works
Lavate tu culo => Wash your ass, a non-literal translation would be something along the lines of "Go fuck yourself"
Conchudo => Can mean different things according to the country you're in. In Peru, it means something like smartass and/or ******.
Cojudo => Smartass/Idiot
Huevon => Literally huevos mean eggs. Howevere huevos are also used to describe balls [as in men's balls] so huevon is someone with balls but not in the brave sense. Non-literally it's like saying idiot.
Tu mamà => Your mom

In french [I hardly ever swear in french so these may not be up to date]

Fils de pute => Son of a bitch
Connard => Asshole
Salope => Bitch
Enculé => Literally this means "fucked in the ass" lol
Ta mère => Your mom
Con => Moron
Ta race => Your race [in front of that you usually have something like "nique" which means fuck]


I'll think of more i'm sure

Whatever it may take I keep on trying.

In urdu or punjabi mostly people refer to your mom or sister mostly which is as follows:-

Bhen Chod = Sister F****r.
Madar Chod = Mother F****r.
Harami = Bastard
Gando = gay (one who likes to have sex with boys)
Heejarah = Tranny

Butcher's hook - look

not really a swear word....but my my friends and i have adopted that delicious greek treat 'baklava' in a similar context.....feels strangely satisfying to yell it in an angry or frustrated manner, and at the same time not offending anyone....try it..

That just makes no sense at all. And baklava is way too good to be used in that context.
