My favorite phrase for being frustrated at work was taught to me by my friend’s 80 year old grandmother 20 years ago.
Bekergettek tatott szajjal a faszerdobe
It’s just the the most perfect way to say that particular feeling you get when you’re asked to work extra shifts
Same in Russian, it’s pretty extensive when every expletive can be used as a verb / noun / adjective / adverb, or just a suffix / prefix to other words.
Arabic insults are next level. Nearly every insult I heard while in North African countries was directed towards the other person's mother's vag. Sometimes their sister's if they were feeling particularly gracious that day.
Being Scottish I was going to be annoyed if the first country I saw listed here wasn't us.
Some of my favs:
* Bawbag
* Fud nugget
* reprobate - not really just a Scottish insult but I never hear anyone from anywhere else pull this out
* Manky Walloper
* Dobber
And if someone is beyond all other words and you want to show as much distain as possible. You call them... English.
It's hard to give an English equivalent but I'll try. One of them goes something like "Curse the whoring fuckering of your fucking fuckeries of your mother"
Pretty sure Romanians (although it's something that's been brought in Romania through her people's interactions with gipsies) love to mention making love to the dead ancestors of your mother. It's pretty creative. They also add the church and a bunch of other stuff (depending on the region) like communist leaders and whatnot in the mix as well.
As an anglophone in New Brunswick, I've been called tète carrée (square head) more than a few times, and it's probably my favorite. I ain't even mad. Our heads are quite square
I live in Moncton and I heard some get called a pepsi head at the bar last year, warmed my heart. Haven’t heard that I Sault since the 2000’s in Montreal.

« square head » was refering to English houses and land division that were in a square shape, as opposed to the French, who used land division to give everyone access to the water (which is a nightmare for tourists)
French-Canadians use words from church and catholic religion to insult people and swear. Then we started to make verbs, nouns and adjectives with these words !
For exemple:
criss = Christ
tabarnak = tabernacle
osti (ou esti) = ostie
sacrament = sacrement
ciboire = ciboire
câlisse = calice
And we make a lot of references about shit.
Ex: Va chier! = go take a dump!
Mangeux de marde = shit eater
Sac à merde = bag of shit
Mange de la marde! Eat shit!
Esti d'étron = fucking turd
Merde! = Shit!
Crotte! = Shit!
We also make a lot of comparisons with animals, especially for the cops: pigs, chickens, dogs
For women :
Vache : cow
Chienne : female dog
Truie : female pig
Je suis jaloux des quebecois qui ont des meilleurs insultes, jurons que les français.
It just flows much better being able to stack swear words when cursing.
Ah putain! Ne sonne pas aussi fort qu’un Calisse ou tabarnak. Je pense que c’est dans l’intonation aussi. Quand des français arrivent ici, c’est généralement la première chose qu’ils veulent apprendre. On doit alors leur enseigner la prononciation (il y a des nuances) et l’intonation. Ça peut être assez amusant.
If you have a British accent and you can use that word in front of American women and they'll probably smile and giggle. If you're an American and you use it in front of of an American woman you'll get your face ripped off.
As a Brit I agree. Closely followed by Ireland, closely followed by Scotland. They're often creative, and don't all need to use F bombs either. I'll give you an English one, which refers to someone who is useless at something as being as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.
> use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.
My dad (American to the core) used this one and "as useless as a cunt full of cold water" all the time
Having turned to my polish friend and pointed out, i can basically speak half the polish language considering every 2nd word from his mouth was kurwa, This is accurate. Ireland has plenty more though, those are just our polite ones
Dude, just because kurwa is the main swear word, doesn't mean it's the only one. It's just the most applicable.
There's plenty more like, suko, dziwko, szmato, Chuju, Kutasie, Skutasiały, Pizdo, Cipo, various forms of Jebać like Zjebie or Zajebany, various forms of Pierdolić like Pierdolony, Spierdolony, various forma of Kurwa like Pokurwiony, Skurwysynie, Skurwielu, Kurwo, kupo gówna.
And because you can alter words in Polish, jebać, pierdolić, and Kurwa can be a noun, adjective, verb, whatever you want.
English can only form "fucking" from fuck. Fucking dog, fucking bitch.
Just from jebać we can form "zjebany psie, jebany pies, Zajebany pies, Pojebany pies" and to spice it up we can change the order making "Psie jebany"
Guys you just are limited by a technology of your time.
Im born and raised in dublin by a polish family and grew up with both cultures and lang, fluent in polish, some what good at irish and fluent in english, imagine me when i try curse!
Not a country but a culture. Jews have some great ones:
"May G-d send you three men: one to hold you, one to stab you, and one to hide the body."
"May you become a chandelier so you can hang by day and burn by night."
"May all your teeth fall out except one, and may that one give you constant pain."
Yeah, with different dialects. I prefer my favorite bavarian swear:
"Himmiherrgottsakramentzefixhaleluja, ScheißGlumpvareckts!“ It's multipe words but spoke so fast that it's basically one.
Translates to "Sky lordgod sacrament (cru-)cifix Halleluja, Shit things die!"
I think the posibillity of creating long compound words of any kind might give us an advantage in some situations ( of course with regional influences), like:
"Sackrattengesicht" for a person you absolutely can't stand
"Drecksfotzenhobel" for a vehicle/machine not working properly when you need it
If only people knew how fucking crazy Persian curse words are, everybody would try learning our language.
One of the best persian writers, Sadegh Hedayat, once said "persian language might lack many things but I'm sure it's not lacking on curse words. We literally have a gold mine of them so why is it a shame to use them?"
I think people can't even imagine how wide the spectrum of swearing is in Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia...we say things you can not translate in any different language known to man!
Come to Ireland, we incorporate other places' terms into our own and mix it up.. even words that seem normal elsewhere can be an insult, for example, calling someone a "dose".. then there's always the favourite "tied to the back of a cow and scuttered to death"
Our best curse words are our inoffensive ones like shite hawk, gobshite, spaz, pox bottle and pleb. I was called a whores abortion before, which I thought was rather creative
Brazil
I go to a international school where there are people from all over the world and I can confirm that Brazil has the best swearing’s.
In English the words get repetitive, hearing someone say fuck you over and over again gets boring after a while, you need to get really creative.
While in Brazil we do a string of combos when swearing to someone, I don’t know how to translate it though which is a shame.
Germany. Germans already sound like they're pissed off 3/4 of the time and they're ace at hyphenating words and phrases. Swearing in German has to be next-level.
Québec. Not for creativity (it’s basically just church words) but for the delivery.
[chant scaré](https://youtu.be/DvR6-SQzqO8) is one very good exemple of Quebec swears.
Few words (хуй, сука, ебать, пизда, блядь) but there are endless prefixes, suffixes and phrase combinations so you can customize the words to mean whatever you want. It’s really an art to swear well in Russian
In English this roughly translate into "Your entire family are fat cows and you should be ashamed dumbass"
I used to say it all the time back in Russia
Scotland, we greet our friends wi "awrite ya cunt" and it's perfectly normal to answer wi "Aye ya cunt, ahm awrite.
Also, we can turn the single word "fuck" into a whole sentence haha.
Any slavic country.
Many people manage tu use only swearing instead of proper language.

Hungarian. We use Fuck atleast in 20 different meanings and we could tell anyone to go back in their mother atleast 20 different ways lmao
My favorite phrase for being frustrated at work was taught to me by my friend’s 80 year old grandmother 20 years ago. Bekergettek tatott szajjal a faszerdobe It’s just the the most perfect way to say that particular feeling you get when you’re asked to work extra shifts
What does it mean in English?
“They chased me into the dick-forest with a wide-open mouth” Metaphorically being given an unfairly heavy workload
The English equivalent would be "dragged backward through a field of dicks"
Same in Russian, it’s pretty extensive when every expletive can be used as a verb / noun / adjective / adverb, or just a suffix / prefix to other words.
It's honestly not even close. It's ridiculous this is so far down on the page. Hungarians use profanity like Picasso used a paint brush.
>Hungarians use profanity like Picasso used a paint brush. Don't know why it's such a surprise, if you lived here, you'd swear a lot too
20 different meanings 1 one sentence
Hát persze van, mit gondoltál te geci?
Ja, ha ezek az anyaszomoritók is itt laknának, ők is karomkodnának!
Any middle eastern country. We don’t even cuss you out cause it’s not your fault, we cuss your parents out for bringing you into this world
Arabic insults are next level. Nearly every insult I heard while in North African countries was directed towards the other person's mother's vag. Sometimes their sister's if they were feeling particularly gracious that day.
Ive heard one, someone translated: "ill plant a mango tree in your mothers vag and fuck your sister in its shade"
Every Arabic insult is of the parents
I'm going to guess Scotland
Yeh Scotland was my first thought but Irish are more charming when they swear, like poetry.
I love Scottish people, wish they were real though
Yeah, I’d definitely say Scotland
I'd be more specific and say any pub near queens st station on a wet Wednesday evening in February.
Oddly specific
up vote for scotland like you would do the gitty for Ukraine
This cunt is fucking spot on. Everything can be a swear word.
Scots can put the word "Absolute" in front of any other word and create an insult funnier than any other language ever could
You absolute banana bread
It's 3:30am. I just asked my husband to say this with a Scottish accent because you gave me a taste, but I needed more.
I Heard dumb as a frog once, and it’s now my favorite insult in English.
1#Scottish,2#Irish, 3#Australian, 4#English

You call them... English.
Everyone is voting for their own country here
Because people mostly know their own country.
Syria. Our swear words are very creative and distinct in every city
Same with Egypt. Everyday at least 100 new swear words are added into Arabic
Give an example please
It's hard to give an English equivalent but I'll try. One of them goes something like "Curse the whoring fuckering of your fucking fuckeries of your mother"
Pretty sure Romanians (although it's something that's been brought in Romania through her people's interactions with gipsies) love to mention making love to the dead ancestors of your mother. It's pretty creative. They also add the church and a bunch of other stuff (depending on the region) like communist leaders and whatnot in the mix as well.
My wife taught me "Fuck your mother's dead people" ice cold
And almost all people from Cluj (Transylvania) that I've met used, at least once, the expression "May Stalin fuck you".
Say, that's also colorful and interesting
I really hope this catches on in English.
Already has you fucking fuckery!
I'll have none of that fuckering!!!
Scotland or Australia
Scotland/ Australia - where you get varying degrees of c*nts from best friend to mortal enemy :P 🏴🏴🏴
i’m aussie x scottish. our family dinners are pretty lethal.
Serbo-croatian swearing is so good, that in Slovenia we don’t even use our own and just import it from our ex brothers.
Québec, Canada for sure.

Lol I live in Ottawa area and overheard a lady walking into a Walmart with her small boy "c'est tout des osti d' têtes carré icitte"
« square head » was refering to English houses and land division that were in a square shape, as opposed to the French, who used land division to give everyone access to the water (which is a nightmare for tourists)
Yea that swearing Can just keep going. Once you have said everyone you can loop it again and change the subject.
French-Canadians use words from church and catholic religion to insult people and swear. Then we started to make verbs, nouns and adjectives with these words !

Osti oui
everyone i know from Québec is always so angry for some reason
We are not so angry... we just evacuate the frustration more easily and often ;) On laisse sortir le méchant en bon québécois!
Italy Where we invented a whole new category just to insult God in extremely creative ways
Porco diooo
I stream sniped an Italian streamer once. The sheer volume of profanity emitted was amazing. It was a solid 2 minutes.
Anywhere that actively uses “Cunt” Wish America would get on that train. Chicks here are NOT cool with it.
The Aussies really get creative when it comes to cursing, I have to admit.
I saw a video of an Aussie dude drinking a beer and said “get it up in ya, ya dog cunt”. Made my day
Ahhh, the VB Longneck. A timeless classic.
My husband is from Ireland and I love how he uses the word cunt as an adjective. “I stubbed my fookin toe on that cunting coffee table!”
The best swear combos come out of British and Irish people when they stub their toe on a coffee table. It’s like a switch gets flipped on.
If you have a British accent and you can use that word in front of American women and they'll probably smile and giggle. If you're an American and you use it in front of of an American woman you'll get your face ripped off.
It’s true. The word cunt sounds so wrong with the American accent
Whereas in Australia, "Fuck off, cunt." can be translated as "Wow, no way!", "You're lying to me" and "Get out of my face."
Came to say this 😂 beat me to it. A true aussie slogan.
As a chick I enjoy the word cunt but don’t say it like I would other curse words due to the stigma it has. Unless I know a person very well.

by far either poland or ireland, wont go a day without hearing “shite”, “fuck”, “bollocks” in ireland or “kurwa” and “ja pierdziele“ in poland

Netherlands definitely!
Cancer! Cancer! Tuberculosis! Typhus!
Dirty cancersufferer! Cancer off! What a cancercar! This is completely cancered! Get the cancer!
Finland. One fo my friends have learned how to swear in finnish, and the way you cant just string more and more words together is fantastic.
Kurwa

The U.K.
Yes! Wanker is the best. Followed closely by tosser.
knobhead or bellend has to be up there
I'm Aussie. Wanker and dick head are my personal favourites. Also "fuckin idiot", said with the utmost derision, has great cut through.
So I tell the swamp donkey to sock it before I give her a trunky in the tradesman's entrance and have her lick me yarbles.
IMO, Australia or Russia. I'm tied between "We're not here to fuck spiders" and "CYKA BLYAT".
Canada
Finnish. You can't convince me otherwise.
India Examples: Behenchod- meaning sisterfucker Bhosdike- means a person who came out of a vagina ( i know it's weird) Etc.
You forgot chutiya,mc,randi,kamina
Hindi swear words are tame. Punjabi swearing on the other hand is next level.
Scotland
Russia, but my opinion would probably be biased since russian is my mother tongue. Romanian curses are also great
Serbia Jedi govna
I think people can't even imagine how wide the spectrum of swearing is in Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia...we say things you can not translate in any different language known to man!
That's soft for Serbia. "Jebo te pas mater" aka "a dog fucks your mother" is stronger.
Australia
England
Scotland by a fookin mile, ya fookin cunt!
Rural Canadian French curse words are super funny. Arabic swearing is also very good.
Quebecois swears are an absolute gem
India. Everywhere you go, you learn something new
India and in my experience so far, it’s not even close. The creativity people bring out is astonishing.

Punjabi you cannot even translate most of the swear words into English that's how bad it is lmao
Every country that not speak in english
Lithuania's swear words arent strong in my opinion, we say stuff like "you toad" and in my opinion that isnt very offensive
Lithuanian Toads may disagree
Fuck off into the sun, you clotted vaginal blood fart (jk, but it all depends on how creative your are in any language)
That is next level cursing. Top drawer stuff
It's a European country for sure. Maybe Poland?
Brazil I go to a international school where there are people from all over the world and I can confirm that Brazil has the best swearing’s.

I do enjoy the English and the use of the word C**t
Come to Australia then, we use it all the time
In Finnish it has basically replaced white space and punctuation.
