[lawrocket 3]

Let's hear them. I need a guide that can be useful in case I am ever in need of swift insult.

I'm thinking on the lines of, "mangez le merdre" - french for "eat shit."

I'm particularly interested in Potruguese and Hmong. And I understand that italian cussing is difficult without video (WOPs are speech inpaired if they are missing an arm).

"Puta que Pariu" and many many others - from many places . . . enjoy.

In Brazil if you give the "OK" sign it means, "You're an asshole."
Thumb up is OK.
Also good to know if you DON'T want to say somebody's an asshole.

But what do I know?

I learned this one at Zhills (being multi-cultural place that it is) -

gaan kak in die mielies

I picked up a few others but they are not printable.

In the early '90's I was down in Brazil working on a project. Were doing some testing in a test lab in southern Brazil and things were not going so good. Laate in the day & after doing some adjusting, etc, etc, we finally got the testing to be successful. So I gave the OK sign to the test engineers ( who did not speak English ) and they all looked at me really, really wierd. The QA Mgr, who did speak English, came over and casually mentioned that this meant 'Up your a$$hole.'

Oopsie.

Live & learn,

PS) I've spent a fair amount of time working in Asia, South America & Europe; I've learned to NEVER cuss in the local language.

yebat' is the infinitive. You want the imperative form which is yob (but sounds like yop)

Ha, ha. That's like greeting a group of nuns by flipping them the bird.

Hi law,
Arabs have this thing about animals. Dogs are considered "unclean' and if they touch one they go into hysterics!! When I was working for Grumman in Iran in '76 I found out that to refer to one of "them' as an animal will get em' riled!! Best way to piss off an Iranian is to say,"Shoma mardar sadd!" roughly translated,"Your mother is a dog" or simply put,"You son of a bitch!!" I guarantee, sparks will fly!!

Italy's is the thumbs up gesture. Friend of mine was at Sebastian when he saw a group of Italian jumpers packing, he asked them if they were from Italy. When one of them replied yes, he gave them the thumb "cool!"

The reaction he got was totally the opposite of what he was expecting.

that would be "mangez la merde". and "mangez" would mean the "polite form"; other than that it's "mange"!

if you cuss, do it in style..

Sigh... You people are pathetic.

For pure visceral insults, I prefer Quebec insults:

Do you mean like the time I was riding my motorcycle through Quebec and some idiot cut me off.
He looked at my Ontario license plate and tried to answer me in english.
Instead I loudly and angrily - and without a single swear word - chewed him out for five minutes in "la francais d'academy!

There are few things more embarrassing than being chewed out by a foreigner in a better-educated dialect of your own language!
