Except french. Even cursing sounds romantic in french.

Don't recommend cursing in german. You always sound like you want to set your opponent on fire.

Verzeiht, werte Herren, mein Argument bleibt bestehen. Sehet euch die linguistische Wandlung unserer holden Sprache nur einmal an.

Depends on what side of the ocean you are! Québec French swearing doesn't sound romantic at all, but it's almost a language of its own! A classic of Quebec cinema:https://youtu.be/KUGW0jszPzo

Godverdeklere, spreek Nederlands jij kankermongool!

[–] Reorder9543@social.fossware.space 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My native language is close to Dutch and while I don't understand exactly what you just said, it sounds funny as hell.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If people would like a translation:

  • Godverdeklere

A bastardisation which pulls "klere"/"kolere" - cholera - into "godverdomme" - god damn me. Definitely profane

  • spreek Nederlands

Literally: speak Dutch. Not profane, though if someone does say it to you unprovoked, they're probably racist.

  • jij kankermongool

you cancer-mongol. Mongol in Dutch mostly is an insult to people who have Down Syndrome, not people from Mongolia. Definitely profane.

"Me cago en el olivo que dio las aceitunas que hicieron el aceite que lubrica las bisagras del ataúd de tus muertos"

"I shit on the olive that gave the olives which made the oil lubricating the hinges of the coffins of your dead (relatives)"

[–] MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Holy shit this is some cursing

[–] emptyother@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Most Norwegians just repeat a lot of synonyms for the devil and hell and burning:

Faen steike til helvetes forbannade jævelskap.

But there are more creative cursers, of course. Good cursing is an art.

[–] karbonkel@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

In Dutch we curse and insult with diseases. For example "kankerzooi" = "cancerous mess" and "tyfuslijer" = "typhoid sufferer". That first one is a bit frowned upon, but using "kanker" is becoming more common. There's an established word "kankeren" which means "to grumble", though.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that this meme works very well for Dutch

Some more examples:

  • Teringlijer = tuberculosis sufferer
  • Pestpokken = something with the plague and pox
  • Krijg de kolere = get cholera
  • Zich de tyfus werken = literally "to work so hard you get typhoid" (wtf), but really just "to work very hard"

Funny one also is "kut" which means "vagina" and is used in the same way as cursing with "shit". Also, something like "kanker" (cancer) can be used in a positive way to emphasize something, like "kankerlekker" meaning "extremely good tasting" (although still frowned upon by most people)

Actually, just read the Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_profanity

For those of you who are multilingual from birth, do you have a preference?

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Chilean Spanish is way better than English for cursing.

Not strictly, though Dutch does offer a few other fun subjects for your profanity.

[–] Willem@kutsuya.dev 4 points 2 years ago

Dutch profanity is fitting as much illnesses in a sentence as possible, with a few racistic remarks.

[–] UberFox@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

Lmao yes Hindi curses just sound much more aggressive than fucks or assholes

[–] charizardcharz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm natively bilingual. It depends what language I'm speaking and if I want someone to understand or not.

[–] SirAramis@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty much depends on who I'm cursing at lol

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Always curse at the person in the opposite language they speak. If they know both, sign language
