i love how quebec swear words are all church related. what a society's swear words are about really says a lot about where that society's hangups are. quebec's are religious, english's are sexual, some are all about bodily excretions (isn't german like this?)... sociolinguistic heaven.
also, after living there for 4 years and not exactly breaking it off cleanly when i left, i am occasionally tempted to translate literally. i have occasionally referred to something in great exasperation as "this christing thing doesn't work" or whatever. it is a weapon of great hilarity in english.

For me most interrestingly it is alright to say the c word, and the D as in the name d**k whee
But the words I cant for the life of me say are the ones that are more correct for a womans and a mans anatomy.
I can not for the life of me say the P word, you know the one that ends with enis. eek
Nore the V word.
I dont know what it is. I have even managed to creat new words so as to get past this, like the pugina, mix between the word punany and V word.
The worst thing is I spent most of my days on Ventrillo with my online WoW friends. And they swear alot but none of them tops me when I swear like a sailor... but they always win in any swearing contests because pugina just doesnt cut it, and they know I just cant really say it. Im fine with calling someone a d**k or other such horrible words. Just cant do those two words. I get all blushy and sitt there mumbling for like 5 min trying to get the words out of my mouth. redface
On the other hand Icelandic swear words I am more then fine with... I managed to make a couple of new horrible terms even.
Like "Subbu kunta", the last part you put a c instead of the K and remove the A and you should be able to figure out what that means. But the word subbu, means someone who is really messy, one of those people that keeps spilling drinks all over themselves... And I guess you can guess where this is headed then. ninja
Funnest thing I ever did was explain this term to a very brittish friend of mine... I didnt realise how to say it so I went like, "ok, wait. Sonja (my friend)," She: "Yes", Me: "You know what I mean, its when you have just had some love making with your partner and you stand up straight after wards" Sonja: xd "Its one of the most horrible things you can do isnt it?"
Brittish friend: eek D:

Oh!
TITS
I hate hate HATE that word. I get so offended if chris uses it.
c**t whore b***h whatever, nothing gets under my skin like the word Tits.
He was so shocked by that when we were first dating. It didn't seem that bad to him, and I guess it really isn't, it just bothered me SO MUCH. so he eventually stopped using it.
Now I get annoyed when he says ANYTHING. Because I guess he just hasn't been around kids enough in the last x amount of years, but he does NOT have a kid filter! If I know there are kids around, I don't say anything worse than 'stupid' or 'dumb' ... but he forgets they're around and out come the words that kids love to say at the WORST moments.
I'm so afraid our kid is gonna be like his little two-year-old neice (not the niece and nephew who were in my bridal party, this neice is from his brother and his live-in girlfriend, who are separating, and named thier daughter after Eminems daughter, and the older one who is three knows all the lyrics to half of eminems songs) who falls down, looks shocked, and goes, "******** kinda funny, but at the same time it's kinda not. Those kids didn't even get a chance to be innocent little kids at all. They're gonna be mothers at 14 or something. D:

Thank you.

I have serious problems with the run of the mill words for genitalia. Especially in my own language..
Besides that I actually like swearing, and especially shouting swearwords while driving (it amuses me, I don't get angry much). Then I also love inventing new things to call people and using old words in new ways. My current favorite is "******** hippies". And then when I'm describing something really horrible I say "********" in one run. Icelandic swearwords are mostly church-related (satan, hell, devil and such), so they bore me.
But again, genitalia, and... blegh, anything that has to do with menstruation....
