Jul. 22nd, 2021 02:22 pmHello everyone, please come and swear at me in your native/preferred language? I am interested in how people cuss when stubbing a toe, etc., and/or favorite curse-word expressions or euphemisms (including native English speakers please!).
My dad used to say “Judas Priest!” in the car when other drivers annoyed him. My mother’s language in the same situation was considerably more colorful. Japanese is actually not all that satisfying to swear in compared to English, but there is a whole verb conjugation which is basically equivalent to modifying the verb with “fuckin'...” or similar. Chinese has 我去 (hi, Zhao Yunlan, maybe a slightly politer version of 我操？) or 糟了 (hi, Shen Wei) or 给我你滚滚 (hi, Jiang Cheng, I kind of like this one for being something like “do me a favor and fuck off”) and its variations. And many others I don’t know about.
I think my own current go-to when stubbing a toe is along the lines of “いった〜いowww、fuck!” or something like that... .
