There is a fine art to swearing and hurling epithets. You can't just throw it at the wall and see what sticks or you just look like a fucking dolt.<br><br>So, what are your favorite cuss words/epithets?<br><br>'Fuck' will never go out of style. It's a noun! It's a verb! It's an adjective! You can scream it, growl it, snarl it, holler it, or whisper it through gritted teeth. My favorite variant lately is 'clusterfuck' which is military jargon. A clusterfuck is worse than FUBAR (fucked up beyond all repair) which in turn is worse than SNAFU (situation normal, all fucked up.)<br><br>I have always been a fan of 'asshole'--it's short and to the point and usable in so many situations, sort of a Swiss Army knife of an insult. But recently I have fallen in love with 'fucktard.'<br><br>I prefer 'shite' to shit these days. <br><br>I stole 'asshat' and 'assclown' from "Television Without Pity", a hilarious teevee fansite. <br><br>It's always fun to swear in foreign languages too, like French ('merde!') and Italian ('vafongul!')<br><br>I also swear in Dutch, having had a Dutch co-worker for awhile. He used to crack up when I'd pop off with 'Potverdoorie!' (Poteferdooree, literally, 'pot of shit') or 'Godverdomme' (Hoteferdohmah), God damn.)<br><br>I can also say "Stick it up your big fat ass" in Slovak, but can't spell it. It sounds like "Polooh na kloosta velky reetz." Any Slovaks out there, feel free to correct me.<br><br>British English isn't really a foreign language, but I picked up 'sod' and 'sod it' from an English co-worker. I thought it meant drunk till he told me it's short for 'sodomite/sodomy.<br><br>C'mon, you silly sods, get off your kloosta vlky reetz and share the shite you talk when you're faced with a real asshole!<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
