Having grown up in Hong Kong I used to speak fluent Cantonese..somewhat rusty these days - but I remember the swearing very well! (the following is more or less phonetic)

lei gon mat lan ye a? = What the fuck are you talking about!

Swearing in Cantonese is fucking brilliant!

Talking of which LofuJi hasn't been around of late. :what:

Funny... for my own use (I'm French), I prefer a term that I spell "schlach", (pronounce it like it were German) ... there are serious odds it's somehow derived from actual German "Arsch Loch" (ass hole), though I use it as a swear word when angry, not as an insult, and am not even sure I knew that particular piece of german vulgarity at the time I came up with it.

About me: If I had my way I'd buy a few acres of land and an old tractor. I'd drive the old tractor around the land and passers-by would stop to ask me what kind of crop I was farming. "Crop?" I'd say, "Crops are work, I'm planting ideas."

"Awiss Awass." In Cree it translates more or less as "come here, go away," but it gets used like "fuck off," usually in a non-serious way.

"Sodemieter op man". Has multiple uses, one meaning "Get the fuck away from me", another is a statement of disbelief.
