> I know the word lists aren't complete. This was the best I could do given the time constraint, the fact that I don't actually speak 19 languages... And also, after two evenings of googling dirty words, I started feeling like I'm about to acquire Tourette's in some unknown language ;)
Despite all that, I'm impressed by the level of completion for Bengali and Hindi. I tried a few variations of several common Bengali curses and all came up. Thanks for making this, and also for not limiting it to Romance and Germanic languages.
What sources did you use to compile the list of words?
- pavlov 11y agoFor each language I used several random sources on the web, sort-of crosschecked for multiple spellings, etc. This Hindi site was definitely my favorite: http://www.hindilearner.com/hindi_bad_words.html http://www.hindilearner.com/hindi_bad_words.html After all the insane insults that I'm too shy to repeat, there's an awesome deadpan note at the end: "Learn to avoid these Hindi Bad Words in your Hindi conversation." Thanks for teaching them first?!
- jon-wood 11y agoThose are some wonderfully imaginative insults. I did like that near the end, after endless filth, they've put "Why are you boring me with this useless narrative?"
- yummybear 11y agoThese are brilliant: Gaand main lassan: Garlic in ass Is this an insult or an old medical remedy? Lundoos: Born into this world from a dick You really have a word for this? Toto: Penis There must've been some giggles in the 80's music scene. Teri Jhanten Kaat kar tere mooh par laga kar unki french beard bana doonga: I will cut your pubic hair and stick them on your face and make a goatee on your face. Ohkaay
