Curses

[enigmania]

I was so disappointed as a child to find there were not whole onion-like layers of unknown-to-me swear words past things like bitch, shit, and fuck

How about an entire conversation/scene only involving variations on Fuck?

Have a look here (from the HBO show The Wire).

The only thing for it is to branch out into other languages... Russians have some very colourful profanities.

try hyphenating noun-verb combinations into new words (adjectives) that sound profane.. then you link them together a la chevy chase in christmas vacation

HOW IT'S DONE

"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?" - Clark Griswold

chevy chase rocks my world. I feel like naming my testicles after him.

The optimal cuss (until it is worn out from repetition) is "shitting cunt of Christ".

leathern jerkin, crystal-button, not-pated, agate-ring, puke-stocking, caddis-garter, smooth-tongue, Spanish-pouch, wool-sack, thou clay-brained guts, thou knotty-pated fool, thou whoreson, obscene, grease tallow-catch, this sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horseback-breaker, this huge hill of flesh, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish, you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase; you vile standing-tuck, ye cuckoo, good pint-pot, good tickle-brain, thou naughty varlet, that trunk of humours, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed
cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with the pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that grey iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years, you bull's pizzle,
you Prince of Wales!!!!

I love Shakespeare, don't you love Shakespeare?http://shakespeare.mit.edu/1henryiv/1henryiv.2.4.

I too was bitterly, bitterly disappointed. Surely there was some forbidden murky world to be initiated into of astonishing creativity and spine-chilling depth resulting in brain flares, singed cheeks and blood-curdling shock beyond sex, religion, and body wastes, but no. Only a smattering of words become so quaint they had lost their sharpness, becoming dull, bookish, pretentious. Totally unusable in modern speech.
