Please share all your cursings and swear words that you know in Esperanto!

My favourite one is of course “putino” (whore, slut, hooker). ridego.gif

EDIT: Fair amount of swear words can be found in a pamphlet Tabuaj vortoj en Esperanto: Vortaro kun ekzemploj pri praktika uzado (1991) by Hèctor Alòs and Kiril Velkov.

One of the more creative ones I've heard is "viringo" (man-socket or "receptacle for a man" ), with the same meaning as putino (which is also a bit creative - "female well" ).

Most of them have similar words to English (fik', fek, damne, etc.), but other than those I don't know too many. Interestingly you can tell someone to F off with one word in Esperanto, "forfikigxu". Whoever said Esperanto wasn't efficient okulumo.gif

No no, “putino” doesn't have anything to do with “puto” (well). It's related to words from Romance languages, like “putain” (fr., jer., ), “puttana” (it.), “puta” (sp., pt., cat. occ., ast.), “putane” (frl.) but also “πουτάνα” (gr.) and “putain” (wl.).

I must admit, that this false etymology (putin·o → put·in·o) is rather funny. ridego.gif Nevertheless, one should know, that if this word was to be included in the dictionary by Zamenhof, then he would probably alter the root and make it “puteno” or something like that.

Profanity doesn't really belong in these forums.

Well, we're not going to throw insults at each other. ridego.gif And a discussion about swear words, as a linguistically interesting part of the language, definitely should not be considered inappropriate.

It also kind of stimulates creativity. =)

Back before the Flood, I bought a similar pamphlet called Knedu Min, Sinjorino! My favorite from that was the colorful “Mil papoj el Romo!”
