I think mine is obvious, since it's in three of my icons.

[apocalypsos]

I'm depressed, I'm pissed off, I love that one British commercial with all the swearing, and I have a purse that says "f*ck" all over it.

Having said that, tell me your favorite curse word.

Comments

Definitely fuck.

Although I'm also fond of British curse words.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

Are phrases accepted?

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

"Hell". Just a good, old-fashioned, multipurpose word.

Close runner-up is a very new-fangled word, "Frell." Can be used in a multitude of social situations, wherein there are folks who would not take kindly to the use of "fuck".

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

I have to go with "frell" also. "Frelling dren!" if I'm really annoyed.

I've spent enough time immersed in Farscape that it means something to me, but I can say it pretty much anywhere I want to (and I do). It's pretty much replaced all other swear words for me except "shit" (which is my back-up and most favored English profanity).

The advantages of swearing in a obscure foreign language: It sounds somehow profane even if you don't know what it means (so you tend to get the point), and no one can actually object to me saying it.

[dargie.livejournal.com]

Fuck, I never actually thought about favorites. Hmmm,what the fuck could it be? I like "damn" a whole fucking lot, and I say "shit" all the fucking time. What a fucking dilemma!

[ladyortyger.livejournal.com]

I like "fuck" the best but am currently obsessed with "asshat."

[hamadryad.livejournal.com]

Motherfuck. Also, motherfucker, motherfucking.

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

As a linguist, I deeply admire how the english language has a swearing infix rule.

Me, being the foul mouth bitch I am, like "godfuckingdamnit" which infixes a swear word into another swear word. It rules.

[ladyortyger.livejournal.com]

I like infixing within non-swear words!

"fanfuckingtastic"
"ridicogoddamnulous" - [sic]

[fallofrain.livejournal.com]

Fucktard.

[leelee-cakes.livejournal.com]

Goddamn. Or Fuck. Sometimes it's the lovely combination of "Goddamn Muthafucka!"

Leelee

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

Fucktard. Though, any variation of 'fuck' is great.

[ex-okcmendy986.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Any variation of the word fuck.

What a twat.

[nuptse.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love the word twat.
And cunt.
Although fucktard also makes me giggle.

[randomfrog.livejournal.com]

Damn, because nobody really objects to it whenever or wherever I use it. Although you can't beat fuck for sheer frustration.

[kimera.livejournal.com]

"Fuckmonkeys", or "monkeyfuck". Also, "Oh, shitters!" except that last one has to be said in a high-pitched Irish accent, or else it's just not as funny.

[cimarosa.livejournal.com]

err...fucktwat.

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

Shit. It can be hissed easier than "fuck," and I can use it in any variety of ways.

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

Fuck. My word of choice. In all it's classic variations.

I also often refer to people as crack smokers.

[gwen-louise.livejournal.com]

Fucktard mostly, anything incorporating the work fuck. Asshat closely follows, and if I'm in shock or just suprised I love the phrase 'What the merry fuck?' I probably overuse it around Christmas, (festive swearing!)

[siegeofangels.livejournal.com]

-ass. Lame-ass, cheapass (http://www.cheapass.com), "long-ass set of Detroit's best rock," punk-ass, crazy-ass, huge-ass . . . just about any adjective can be made profane and therefore better by hooking an -ass onto the end.

Is there a name for a word that modifies an adjective? It's late and I can't remember.

[diannelamerc.livejournal.com]

Generally an adverb. But what you've got there are compund adjectives.

Yes, I'm a grammar geek. :)

[beanarie.livejournal.com]

Fuck a duck, without a doubt. It's silly, yet profane, just like me :)

[juliadactyl.livejournal.com]

Cunt. Especially used as anything but a noun; cunting, cunty, etc.

"You and your cunting cunty ways".

Also, keep in mind I'm Australian and we're a lot more easy-going about profanity, here. (For example, religious swear words like "jesus", "damn", etc are totally allowed on TV.) That's what happens when your country is founded by criminals, not calvinists.

[illmantrim.livejournal.com]

Frack and feldecarb, because yes I am a geek

[purple-smurf.livejournal.com]

"Fuck", "crap", "bugger" and "frell". Bugger is probably used the most, but "shit" does wonderfully on occasion, too.

My favorites

[malhablada.livejournal.com]

"fuck fuckity fuck fuck", "fuckmook", "dumbass", "jesus tapdancing christ", "suckballs", "asshat", "fuck me freddy", "fuckery" - (as in, "You're an idiot, and your assignment is an act of pure human fuckery.")

...BARBARA STREISAND!

[eliade.livejournal.com]

This could be very therapeutic. *g* My preference for a word is always highly dependent on context, but to keep it short: asshat, bugger, cunt, twat, asshole, fuck. Hmm. It really is all about orifices and what we do with them, isn't it?

[sabotabby]

Shite, or variations on common cuss words in different languages. Merde is also good, but it must be said with the appropriate level of completely pretentious disgust.
