> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > “dickslapper” Yes, it is somewhat obvious - especially because “Zipfel” could mean the thing that only men have. But in a lot of cases old dialect words have a “normal” meaning. For example the German word “geil” hasn’t the meaning you think first of (“horny”). ---

I like the word “whippersnappers” that very old people use for (in their minds) very young and inexperienced people. ---

> [@Someone](#): > > For example in Bavarian you can say “leck mi am oarsch” (“lick my beephole”) if you are amazed. I suppose it’s still frowned upon if you use it in a formal context, isn’t it? We have some of those in Sardinia too. There’s “minca mia a tui” (my d\*ck to you) that is an exclamation that is both a way of telling someone to f\*ck off or just an exclamation for something that is exaggerated. Actually, expressions of amazement are usually the most unconventional. We also have “cuddu cunnu” (that c\*nt), “minch’e cuaddu” (horse d\*ck), “ti caghi” (you sh\*t yourself), and the evergreen “cunn’e tzia tua” (your aunt’s c\*nt) or “cunn’e mamma tua” (your mom’s c\*nt), usually with the addition of “bagassa” (the c\*nt of your b\*tch aunt/mom) if you’re _really_ amazed. We also have the exclamation “su corpu de aundi”, which is “safe for work” and literally translates to “the hit of where”. Don’t ask the non literal translation: I have no idea. ---

Yes, we do. I think it has to do with Italy’s strong sense of the family and the sacred figure of the mother\*. In English all I can think of is “son of a b\*tch”. By the way, in Sardinian “son of a b\*tch” has a slightly different meaning than in Italian. In Italian, it’s a plain insult. In Sardinia you can also say that someone is a “fill’e bagassa” also to say that he’s sly and clever. Not always an insult. \*Italians have also a **lot** of insults to deities. If you think about it, insults and swear words all fall into three main categories: the taboo, the sacred, the filthy. The more a topic is important, the more is used as an insult. And being the home of the Holy See, it’s of no surprise that insults to deities are the strongest insults one can use here. ---

Yep that extended “fuuuuuuuuuck” at the end is much funnier unbeeped, especially because of the slight voice crack halfway through! 😂 ---

Hmm… at my work, the word “crap” isn’t a very offensive swearword, but other words are seen as being harsher (people still say them, but not as loudly). That goes for phrases with sexual connotations too. We Brits have some funny harmless words to call someone an idiot, like “muppet” and “plonker”. ---
