swearing & abuse - a short guide

with a little assistance from the br..

you cunty old bag
you shitfuckers
you dirty panty sniffing minger
cunt sniffing witches the lot of you
pack of cum queens
i hate you jerks so bad right now.. in teh face
cockjockeys
jealous bitter old vinegar titted witch
manky cow
ah go piss on a fire hydrant
twatnose
fuckwad
and (the cracker) why dont u piss off u big fat hairy lemon
unbelievable spunkerchief
cunting fucker
wankbag
skank
arsing bag of wank
sir wankalot
cunt-headed-fuck-wanking-bollock-twat
fat frotting cuntybollocks


i'm noticing a lot of cunts and wanking in the above list.
to be added to as and when.

a very nice lady has offered this point of view:

"I have been doing a simple semantic analysis of the words that the contributors to the Swearing thread have produced. There are 20 core words and the others are compounds, a core word and another word ie “dickhead”etc.
These 20 can be further subdivided into 4 categories:-
• Names for the sexual organs and associated body parts.
• Names for sexual activity and the results of it
• Terms for bodily fluids and solids
• A few uncomplimentary terms for women…dating I imagine from a time when men had the monopoly on using swear words…at least in public.
Anyone can draw their own conclusions for the preponderance of words in the above categories.

My own opinion inclines to the view that Anglo-Saxons and their descendants, by their choice of terms of abuse, indicate a profound disgust with the body and its functions especially in the area of sex activity and waste products.

Very much in keeping with our Puritanical Christian heritage.

I have been looking on the Net at Swearing in other languages...the only ones i can judge are French and Italian and they certainly do not reflect the same obsessions as the Anglo Saxons.

Italians seem to insult your mother rather than you.
Anyway just my 2 cents worth."

cheers for that, manu.

other gems that have come along include:

flangepiece
snow fanny (frigid hettie minger femme)
spunk monkey
monkfish (it's in the tone)
shit lips
ball sac
shit the bed
piss-shit-wank-fuck
buggery-bollocks-arse-wank
dirty ticket
scouser's fingers

the conclusion has been drawn, however, that the worst insult of em all is liar.

Hi Zoe

I found your site through my server log today (presumably something to do with B3ta which I mess about on periodically).

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your swearing article, especially the comments from your friend about the categories.

Before I go any further, I'd just like to say Twatneck, Fuckbucket, Shit Kebab, Beef Curtains, Nun Felcher, Wankstain.

That done, I'd like to recount a conversation with a friend who lives in the Netherlands. She reports that there's a very low incidence of sexual swearwords, and many english jokes that rely on double meanings of sexual swear words simply fall flat over there. Dutch swearing is largely to do with illness.

My friend has heard someone in the street shout an insult that translates as 'your dog is a cancerous nigger'. Nice.

Check out the insult-by-text offer in the box at the bottom of Grim Rita 'Agony' Aunt's page

"You too can become a Grim Retard. Simply text RETARD to 88500 and receive two insults a week, to remind you of your unworthiness. Hopefully some of you will be so traumatized, you'll decide to end it all."

Nice.

I've produced a swearing guide myself, in PDF-Format. I would be obliged if an expert could have a look over it and perhaps suggest improvements.

It's to be found at www.johnheaven.de (the actual link is here.

Thanks very much.
