Alright then, if anybody wants to swear in German at work, I´ll type in the words you need phonetically...
For example, "Scheiße" (shit) roughly is pronounced like this:
"Shy" + a sound like the first syllable (ce)of "celebration"
(I just realized that my first post here also was about shit. Great. Mighty fine way to make a first impression.)

ok a few more french ones
Fils de pute = son of a b*tch
enculé (de ta mère) = (moth3r)f*cker
va chier = p!ss off, although it litteraly means 'go defecate'
putain = fu*k ( litteraly, 'prostitute' in old french )
merde = sh!t
putain de merde = fuck!ng hell
batard = bastard
connard = @sshole
merde isnt really harsher than shit, its really common actually
possibility to link all these with 'de'
example :
'Putain de merde de fils de pute de mon cul' is a nice one

I'm open to learning some fun phrases, for work and play (my e-mail buddies are kinda stumped @ some of the "foreign swears" I'm shamelessly borrowing from you nice folks - not anything really trashy (like F*** you) - and I'd love some full sentences to get their little 'ole minds to wondering.
Perhaps something odd that you'd never think of putting together - like "The old bastard's belly jiggles like jelly", and one I'd like to use on my army boyfriend "You're mama wears combat boots".
Can you come up with a couple of corny phrases like that for me Reimbutel?

Your wish is my command (or cussword), Sadie!
While I´m thinking of new corny phrases to translate, let´s start with the two you already mentioned:
"The old bastard's belly jiggles like jelly",
would (roughly again) translate as:
"Die Wampe von dem alten Sack wackelt wie Götterspeise!"
["Dee Wum-pe fonn dem ul-tan Zuck wu-cal-t vee Göttar-shpy-se!"] Gee, that looks weird! The "-pe" is short an pronounced like in "pen", the "dem" sounds like in "demolition", only a bit longer, the "ö" sounds somewhat like the e in the word German, the "-se" is also short, like in "seminar".
"Wampe" is a colloqial term for "Bauch" (= belly) and "alter Sack" is a not so nice way of saying "old man" and literally means "old bag (of bones)" or "old sack (of shit)".
(By the way: the "beutel" in Reimbeutel is the German word for a smaller bag, and a "Reim" is a rhyme, therefore Reimbeutel means "Rhymebag", a wordplay on slimebag. Slime in German is written "Schleim" and pronounced "shlyme".)
And the all-time favourite:
"Your mama wears combat boots".
"Deine Mutter/Mama trägt Kampfstiefel."
["Die-ne Moo-ter trea-gt Cumf-shtee-fell."]
The "-ne" is short like in "never", the "-ter" is short like in "terror", the "trea-" is pronounced like in "Reagan".
Combat boots are also referred to as "Springerstiefel" (Shpringar-shtee-fell), since they are associated with parachute troops, and all people who use parachutes (Fallschirme in German) are called "Fallschirmspringer".
And here´s another one to tide you over:
"Du stinkst aus dem Maul wie eine Kuh aus dem Arsch!"
("You smell from the mouth like a cow from the ass!")
["Doo shtinxed ow-s dem Mowl vee ay-ne Coo ow-s dem Ar-sh!"] The "dem" again sounds like in "demolition", only a bit longer. The "-ne" again like in "never" and the "Ar-" like in "arm".
"Maul" is a colloqial term for "Mund" (= mouth), and "Arsch" is, of course, a word for your rear end.
So much for today, class! There will be tests.

I'd love to offer som good German ones, seeing as I'm living there right now, but it looks like the natives beat me to the punch. Unless it was mentioned and I managed to miss it somehow, all I can do is offer a shorter version of something that was already said. I've heard one of my roommates using the "Leck mich am Arsch," but he shortened it up to "Leck mich!" Needless to say, the other guy understood just fine what it meant. If I can think of any good ones, I'll post them, but for right now, unfortunately, I'm out. I don't know how helpful this website will be gramatically speaking, but vocabulary-wise it's all the words you never ever wanted to know

Nevermore, do you know any norsk or does it all come from the translator? Just curious. I only know about as much as you can fit into a fist.

Well, the native Germans on this board can probably be more help, but I'm happy to share those that I know:
Halt's Maul! = Shut up!
Verpiss dich! = F*** off! (I'm not sure what maturity level this board is, so I'll try to keep the English clean)
Bist du bescheuert? = Are you crazy? or Are you daft?
Or Du bist total bescheuert.
Du kannst mich mal! and Leck mich am Arsch!
These are both translated as Sod you! in dict.leo.org, but that's a British translation... I think they're about equivalent to F*** you!
That's all I got right now.
A friend once told me that Motherf@#&er didn't translate into german with the same effect as in English. Something like Verpiss vixa? I think and instead of anger just shocked looks and definatley a taboo thing to say. In english you can call your friend a MFer and just be kidding around but not in German is this right?
Great idea for a thread BTW. I have been writing SciFi for a while (nothing published) and always like cultural textures I can add to a story.
