    Fucktard, or fucktarded. My SO came up with it, and it's rather stuck.

    Your SO did so not come up with Fucktard. I like Pinter's "fuckpig", but don't use it myself. Berkoff is a wealth of brilliant cusses. but I don't use them much myself. I prefer to take my own name in vain.

    all y'all motherfuckers are crazy. i noticed, though, that you neglected to add the aforementioned cuss word to the list ...

    I don't have a favorite, although arse is very versatile.

  • Victorix says:

    I'd go for arse (Father Ted made me say it). Or sometimes 'Hell and the Devil confound it' or 'hells bells and buckets of blood'

    My dad had a mantra for use following a hammer-struck thumb or suchlike, that went, "Motherfucker goddamit cunt shit bitch" with different things emphasized depending on his mood. I like balls instead of bollocks since most other Americans are only now learning bollocks. Usually though, I'll just say bullshit bullshit bullshit.

    If I get really upset I say this whole quote, which I learned from a stripper:

    "The word of the day is Motherfucker. Sometimes it's Babiesdaddy, sometimes it's fuckin' whore, but today . . . today it's motherfucker."

    It just makes me happy.

    I usually say "fan" or "fan i jävla helvete" but because swedish cuss words are so lame I wont translate them for you.

    Piss! A close second is "Awwwww shiiiit."

    in portuguese i usually say "merda" (shit) or, if i'm really upset, but really, really upset, because it's rather strong and not used by cute little girls like me, "vai tomar no cu" (take this in your a ). as i've been using more and more english in a daily basis, and i start to think in english without noticing, i see that i use bugger a lot in my mind (yay discworld!) and, when talking with others, shit and fuck.

    I just realised that I say "merde" a lot. Also "putain". And I like "kuss kesh".

    I have been known to say such witticisms as "fuckfuckfuckityfuck" and "Christ on a cracker" and, there is one other one that I coined about 25 years ago that is so offensive on so many levels that I shant share it even with you, my internet chums.

    once, while driving, my senior lab mate said:
    "motherfuckinggoddamnsonofawhore".
    She said it very conversationally, almost as an afterthought when she was cut off by a trucker.
    It stuck.

    "fuckin' hell" I say far too often - "jees'" also high up there. If the situation waarants it, I dig out my favourite one from "Team America":

    "Jeesustittyfuckinchrist"

    Yes, I am aware of the fact that others may be hurt by that. But when it gets to that stage, I usually can't stop myself...

  • elapheg says:

    Sorry, my SO is the only person I've ever heard say fucktard, so I picked the habit up from him. Hence, as far as I'm concerned he came up with it. I'm aware he may not have invented it.

    I left you a rather nasty private message!

    I actually had to check this one up, as in I tend to swear aloud very rarely. (Usually only triggered by an accident). I used to, once upon an aeon ago, like saying, 'fuckwit'. Current favourite is 'crackwhore'. All time favourite is 'You bastard son of a ditch delivered whore'. (I want to reference either Wodehouse or Heyer, but tremendously likely to be neither). If anyone can remind me where I picked this last up, I will be very grateful.

    Shit Balls Cock Fuck. (said all at once, really fast)

    Holy Balls.
    (mostly because my extremely religious Grams says this)

    I also work with kids so I tend to say:
    Goodness Grandmas
    Holy Hannah

    Hey nikkib, you just reminded me: my favourite primary school teacher used to say 'Gordon Bennett!' For years the class found this endlessly fascinating, Why Gordon? Who Gordon? Where did he come from? etc. Me, I think if I got seriously stressed in front of the sproglets, I may mutter either, "Oh brother", or, "Oh boy o boy o boy!" (Not sure that I didn't pick that up from Benny in Top Cat), but inaudibly. I do also think 'Hells bells and buckets of blood' (A Long Way From Verona, by Jane Gardam) quite a lot but I have a feeling it may not classify as a good, salty, oath...

    Bitch technically is not an expletive deleted, since, owing to the very strange ways in which the FCC works, you can still say it on air. You can also say ass, but not asshole, and Damn, but not Goddamn. Makes no sense, but there you have it...

    shitcunt works rather well i find.

    Bastardo is one of my faves - putain is a good one too though

    Oh, I say "bloody hell!" a lot too

    i use shi'ite in place of shit. works especially well with holy shi'ite, since they are very holy people ^_^

    I like "arse" for how versatile it is ^_^; and "bloody hell" is another good one.

    Blast. Suitably destructive, satisfying to say, won't terribly scar small children in earshot.

    Fuck is in second place though.

    My favorite has to be bloody hell, or calling someone a cock sucker
