I dunno, the old French guy at our office swears like a sailor, most of the younger peeps are quite tame in comparison.

- logfromblammo 10y agoIn the grandest tradition of Anglophones, I have at times borrowed words like "merde", "schiesse", and "cào nǐ mā" (with atonal pronunciation) from other languages, whenever I'd like to express something in colorful metaphors without other people necessarily understanding it to be vulgar. So if I were you, I'd probably take notes. This might one day get me into trouble while traveling outside the US, which generally only knows English and Spanish.
- icebraining 10y agoI hate to tell you, but Spanish speakers can probably understand "merde". It's fairly similar to their counterpart.
