A Note About the Way Different Countries Swear

Aug 03, 2010 23:33

The best way to lear a language is to start with the rude words. At least that's what happens when teenagers from different nationalities start to teach each other their native languages. And I've just realised that the way different countries swear is different from one another.

It's true that we all swear using the different languages for "F**k". But each country also have their own swear words or words that they deem are very rude to say to others. Okay, I sound really confusing, so here's some examples I've noticed.

The Chinese love to swear with different human organ names. I'm sure you know what I mean...whether it's female organs or male organs...uh,...you know...

On the other hand, Indonesians love the zoo. We tend to swear with all the different kinds of animals that exist, and I must say, dogs are really man's best friend. (<--lame joke, I know, so shut up!)
That's why Indonesians like to say that when they swear all zoos break loose.

And for the English speaking countries such as England and America, I notice that their favourite type of swearing is based on "activities".

So...yeah, this is just an interesting little observation. It's like different countries (or maybe this is based on language groups?) have this subject group which gets on their nerves more than other countries. Now, I'm curious about other countries (or languanges), and their swear group.
