Jul 30, 2011 23:51 Swearing word slang fight quarrel
I want to learn some swearing words in English!

Because you need a good command of swearing words when you have a fight with someone in English! And everyone loves slang, right? :D

So please help me out with collecting as many as you can think of!
Also, if possible, I'd appreciate some tips about how you use it(I'm 27 year old woman).
Thanks!

All I know right now is...

[Upset]
Dammit/God dammit/Darn it
Holy sh**

[Swearing]
Shut up
You asshole
Kiss my ass
Get lost
Go to hell
F*** you

Wow, I'm feeling like I'm such a bad person. lol
Don't get me wrong, this is just for learning!

Trying to become an English poet,eh?Have you ever heard of Urban Dictionary?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/
It's an online dictionary of slang words.

Maybe I'm a slang otaku.

  • Shut up

  • This is not exactly a swear and can even be used around friends in a playful way. very common too

 
  • You asshole

  • This can be playful with very close friends but it is calling someone a bad person.

 
  • Kiss my ass

  • This is slightly humorous. You say this when you are taunting someone. Like hey you kiss my ass!

 
  • Get lost

  • This isn't a swear but you say it to someone when you want them to leave you alone.

 
  • Go to hell

  • This is offensive and you say it to someone when you really hate them.

 
  • F*** you

  • this is probably the most offensive swear word in the English language. only say it with VERY close friends in a joking way or when you are really mad at someone.

Thanks for the detailed correction:)
Can all of these expressions be used by a woman?

Yes all of these can be used by a woman. In America women are allowed to be more vulgar than in Asia. :)

Hahaha I do feel the same way when learning Japanese, there's always new things come up, and to understand it completely is really tiring my aged brain :)

Here are a few:

Dumbass: Telling someone they're stupid. It's harsher than "idiot" and "dummy".
Fatass: A fat person.
What/why/when/etc. the hell/f***?: A reaction to something unbelievable or strange. "What the hell" can also mean "why not?"
Bitch: A selfish or unpleasant woman. It's also means complaining or painful (You are such a b***h!/Stop b***hing about everything!/It's a b***h to raise a kid.)

There's also a lot of weaker words.
Holy crap!: A watered down version of sh**.
Fatso: A fat person. Not as mean as "fatass", though.

I can't think of any other ones that don't involve certain body parts. :P

Thanks for the examples, Kathryn!
"Fatass" sounds so harsh. Have you said that before?

Personally I like the word "suck". I think I've said "That sucks." before.
But I should be careful, right?

I don't really swear, but when you live in a place where everyone else does, you learn a lot. >_< And yes, fata** is very vulgar, but not as much as f*** or b***h.

Saying that something sucks is actually quite mild. It's not as strong as saying something is sh*tty, but it' stronger than terrible, awful, or horrible. It's a word that can be used in a children's show without being censored.

I see! Your explanation is so clear:)

Actually Japanese media does not censor words as much as the US. does. It's kinda difficult to judge whether this swearing word can be used casually or not.

Maybe I need to study locally!

If you're really serious about it, try watching some shows with Japanese subtitles. But studying locally is definitely the best way :D
