IIRC the 'swearing' in Firefly are translations of english phrases devised by the writing team. So if you use the phrases from Firefly, you may be rude or obscene in Mandarin, but not colloquial.

Here's another good site to check out for swear words. The Mandarin page is linked, but they have pages for many other languages as well.

Ooh, what are the other languages that you can swear in? And what can you say?
