What is your favorite curse word?
God bless you. I use that as a curse word. Most don't catch it.
Add a honey or sweetie to make it drip.
A good "fuck" always feels good.
I like the C word, but it's not socially acceptable and someone inevitably runs out of the room, either crying or clutching their pearls.
social acceptance isn't everything - sometimes there is a perfectly good reason to call them a c**t
True. But, there's a high price to pay here in Canada. It's not the UK where it's not that big a deal. People are so offended by it that, in some cases, people will lose all respect for you.
And I have done it, but not to anyone directly. It's, on very rare occasion, how I describe someone to a close, trusted friend.
@Athena The english language - common across the world, but the nuances of interpretation can make so much difference to meaning.
You stick to good old FUCK if that is more socially acceptable ( take care with the fuck me!!! )
Who cares
Had to watch out with ex partner family they were easily shocked or offended my family doesn't give a fuck
"God dam it" seems to come out more often than anything else. Deepens on the situation I guess.
GOVNYUSHKA - it's a Russian word meaning something covered in shit and used as a sled. There's just so much weirdness packed into that word, beginning with what conditions led to its creation in the first place!
When my kids were younger, I tried to curb my outbursts around them. Expressing frustration by near-musically uttering/repeating "BLYAD'" (FUCK) around the house seemed pretty safe. Sighing, "YA YEBU" (something akin to "well, fuck" ) is also pretty much a staple
Different ones for different moments.
Injury: Fuck
Mistake:god damn it
Seeing something shocking: oh shit!
Seeing something mean or idiotic: mother fucker
Seeing trump do something well: Holy shit.
Depends on the circumstances. Different profanity for different situations. Anyone who disagrees with that can eat my ass.
See how that works, motherfucker?
"Hostie d'câlisse de sacrament d'tabarnak!"
We French speaking Quebecers have a really weird way to swear. Instead of sex related curse words, we use religion related words. Words from the Catholic vocabulary tweaked in the local Quebecer accent. It may sound absurd, but if someone around here bangs his bare toes on a bed leg, it just comes out!
The most notorious "sacre" is "Tabarnak", which comes from "Tabernacle", "A case or box on a church altar containing the consecrated host and wine of the Eucharist."
There is "Hostie" which is the host, the sacramental bread, "Câlisse" (Chalice), "Sacrament", "Calvaire", "Ciboire".
So much that the Quebecer tourists traveling in Latin America (Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic) are called by the locals "Los Tabarnacos"!

good old versatile anglo saxon FUCK
fuck you, fuck me, fuck that, fuck it, fuck off
Not wanting my kids to hear me when I worked on the car, etc, I created my own: Ubiquitous Whore. Aside from that fucking fuck fucker.
I quite like the term 'cockwomble' but rarely use it. My most used has to be twat.
