Strange swear words

[iguana_tonante]

I'll swear in Italian, but that's about as strange as I get (I'm trying to expand that to French, German, and Spanish, but I haven't yet - except for the German, which is too obvious to use in public anyway).

I swear in Italian too, but that's not a big feat for me.

Seriously, I swear in other languages too. Nothing too fancy (English, German, Greek, a bit of Japanese). My favourite are German scheisse, Japanese kuso and baka, Greek malaka. Spanish swear words are fun, but too similar to Italian for me to use in public.

I'm not too fond of invented swear words. For some reason, I can't use them seriously.

I tend to soak up odd words, the odder the better; then end up using them without thinking about it. Ficitonal, real, archaic doesn't matter; if it's something you won't hear in every day convo, it end up in my vocabulary.

I've started using 'frak' a lot more since watching nuBSG.

A wierd phrase I've accidentally started saying is 'Well frak me sideways, and paint me a grey turkey'.

Don't ask, I don't know why either....

On the TV edits, I quite like the whole Funking deal in Sean od the Dead. And Prink.

And of course, "Can I get any of you [cocks] a drink?"

Thank you very much, ITV-1.

An alternate F word I use is 'Flip'

'Oh Hushpuppies.' is one I've used a bit too. People know I'm serious when I really swear.

Fuckery!

Huh. I've never heard it used that way before, but I'm going to use it that way from now on.

Oddly enough, the "fake" phrase I tend to use most is "frickin...frickin frik." Which as far as I know isn't actually a real fake swear, it's just something Nathan Fillion said once on the Firefly blooper reel.

I have used "frickin" and have heard it used many times. It is quite common where I live, here in Alberta.

i tend to use a mixture of stuff from red dwarf like smeg head and goit though my older nephew tends to use stuff from the judge dredd comics like drokk!

 

[captcalhoun]

i've used Drokk occassionally, too.

You Jew Moneylover! (Casino edit)

Reminds me of Scarface "This town is just like a chicken, waiting to be plucked."

Which is actually better writing than the vulgar original.

DIE HARD "Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon!"

The classic THE GREAT OUTDOORS t.v. edit "Blow it out your kazoo!" "No one is blowing anything out their kazoo!"

If 'gimp' is an offensive word, yet Red Dwarf got away with using it, that word must have a different meaning in the UK. Kind of like words like "fag" and "faggot" which are obviously vicious slurs in the US but in the UK they mean something completely unrelated (fag = cigarette; faggot = some kind of food item made from meatballs).

Congratulations on identifying a colloquialism.

 

[Chaos Descending]

After having played both Freedom Force games, I started using the exclamation, "Well peaches AND cream!" like the Alchemiss. I think I have quit saying that... maybe.

 

[Neeka Keet]

I use 'fudge' constantly which for some reason makes people giggle.

 

[Supreme Admiral]

I use "prakking" a lot when I use that swear word.

But one I've heard only twice in my life--from my great-grandmother, and also from one of my co-workers, is "Oh, foot." Is that just a Southernism or something?

I don't know, but probably. I grew up hearing, "My foot", which meant "you're full of BS". No, I don't know why.

My mother's favorite swear word was "Good Night Nurse". I never understood how she came to use it, but I've adopted it for myself, not the least because it irritates my husband. Oh, and my daughter has begun to use it, too.

From the realm of TV, Colonel Potter's various euphemisms for BS always crack me up. My personal favorite -- mule fritters!

 

[RichMerk]

I'm a mild swearer. I don't usually go past "Shazbot!" or "Nerts!". When my little nephew is within earshot, I'll go with "Fishpaste!" or "Tartar sauce!"

 

[Australis]

I drop the f-bomb when alone, a lot, don't swear much otherwise. But I avoid the c-word, too much confusion. How can some pleasurable be mixed with a swear word denoting vile?

So I prefer to call the pleasurable item by an Old English word, quim. Starts with a q, ends with a mmmmm.

 

[captcalhoun]

i used to hear 'my foot!' a lot as kid too...

 

[B.J.]

People with kids (like myself) tend to use a lot of invented swear words. I was making up a a lot of them while watching football this Saturday! I have a need to yell something to get out my frustration, so I just say the first thing that comes to mind that isn't a real swear word. Makes me wish I could swear like Yosemite Sam sometimes.
