I had a Greek friend at school, we were delighted when he taught us this

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 16 hours ago

Melbourne, Australia has a huge Greek population. I think there's even "Malaka Parking" on facebook.

くそ(kuso) is my favorite.

There's a frog with the species name niputidea from Spanish Ni puta idea.

Also, obligatory mention of my conlang:

rCFqKqmg "Egg eater", far more weighty when you're oviparous. Calling someone this at work is a resume generating event.

slmqNLg "Cloaca butter", BS or nonsense.

Perkele! I like the profanity where you invoke the name of a volcano diety

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

name of a volcano diety

*thunder/lightning god

[–] Erikoisjouko@sopuli.xyz 2 points 20 hours ago

Yes, one of the old gods. A bit like grandfather of Satan.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

oh, my mistake. now i'm curious who I was thinking of

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure :) Not many volcanoes in Finland lol

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

bruh I think it was Pele 🤦‍♂️I should have been held back a couple years in school

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I had no idea that Pele was a volcano god, as well as a footballer. Pretty amazing.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 3 points 20 hours ago

I think I was confused because they sound vaguely similar 😑 like if you really walk to make the connection

[–] CallMeAl@piefed.zip 7 points 23 hours ago

Malakas is pretty solid

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Not a swear per se, but I’m privy to tonto/tonta y sonso/sonsa

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago

Double length to the N sound for maximum effect. Tonnto. Hahahaha

Cazzo is the one that feels the most fun for me after Fuck.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 4 points 22 hours ago

This may be a fleeting fancy, but at time of writing: «Merde»

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Puta con leche

Old Yiddish curse.

May you own a thousand estates; and on every estate have a thousand mansions; and in every mansion a thousand rooms; and in every room a thousand featherbeds with silk sheets and lamb wool blankets.

And may malaria fever drive you from bed to bed to bed!
