Here's a few Welsh ones with some toned down translations for the young'uns. Note that "c" is pronounced as a "k"!

cach-gi = dog poo(lit)- generic handle for an unpleasant person.

coc-oen = lamb's penis - again used to descibe the chap above.

cachu = feaces, poo, shit.

cwd (pronounced kood) = 4 letter "c" word relating to female genitalia.

ast (pro. arsed) = bitch

tin (pro teen) = bum

twll-din (pro tooll dean) = bum-hole

I admit it's not much, but when we want to get unpleasant we swear in English!

For some reason, the English "Shit!" is much harsher than the German "Scheisse!"

Here are some more from a native German speaker:

"Fick dich!" - (lit.) "F*ck you!"

also as: "Fick dich ins Knie!", a proposition to go and f*ck yourself in the knee, which neither makes sense in English nor in German, actually...

"Friss Scheisse und stirb!" - "Eat shit and die!"

"Du kotzt mich an!" - "You make me puke!"

"Schwanzlutscher" - (lit.) "c*cksucker"

I´ll post some more when I can think of ´em...



By the way: I´m from Cologne on the Rhine.

ive some german/french ones.

sheissekopf - shithead.
muud - shit
schwankopf - dickhead
verpiss - f*ck.

i think they're right. and if you ever want to use some german that sounds like english swears u could use dicke boner which means green beans.

"She Crashes - You Crashed Her!"

Although we don´t actually say :"Scheissekopf" oder "Schwanzkopf". It doesn´t translate literarily.

You might use "Arschgesicht", which means "you´ve got an face like an ass" (not the animal), i. e. "assface", which wouldn´t be a proper swear word in English.

Also there is "Sackgesicht", comparing the face to a scrotum.

There are several ones meaning idiot and/or imbecile, like "Idiot", "Trottel", "Depp" or "Hirni". (The last one being out of fashion since the 80´s.)

A crazy person would be called "Verrückter", "Wahnsinniger", "Irrer", or, colloquially, "Spinner".

"You´re crazy!" therefore means "Du bist verrückt/wahnsinnig/irre!" or "Du spinnst!"

Just curious - if you have the time & inclination to do the following. From the movie Serenity Wash used Mandarin (???) when Zoe informed him Reavers were hot & heavy on her trail, and Mal said also said something I didn't understand to Simon when he amazingly decked him...
I'd love it if you wouldn't mind translating.

I've already "borrowed" a few other words from your earlier emails, since it's not my habit to swear, 'least in English! Used 'em at work... :)

Yes, me too, I'd love to be able to swear in Mandarin, I absolutely adore challenges & this is a biggie...

If you are unable to swear effectively in English (or your native language), why not just learn to swear in Mandarin, it's ever so much more fun...I'm not bothering to justify this, my response to all those who say Sadie, you're crazy, is "and your point being is?" :)

Now, once I learn the words & prases, O me
