Tell me about cussing in Chinese

[MasterKiller]

My 2 year old is quickly picking up my potty mouth.

Teach me Chinese phrases I can substitute for all the good English ones. At least if she repeats them, no one will know what she said.

My favorites are GD and MutherF...but I'm partial to calling people CSuckers, too.

Hi James, I have to say that your Romanizations are off. If you'd like when I get time I'll PM you the proper RomaniZations for the Cantonese "cuss" words and you can re-post them. I'd prefer not too . . . LOL

Spell that phonetically.

Awesome thread.

Actually that Romanization is pretty good. And he didn't use any 'R' sounds since there are no 'r' sounds in Cantonese. I use the Yale Romanization for Cantonese that I learned in College.

For all your Putonghua swearing needs:

NOT WORK SAFE - lots of foul language in two languages!

[Phil Redmond]

How do you pronounce "nege"? Ney-gah? Nee-Gee?

It's written, "neihge". Ney-gah is close enough. The 'neih' means you. The 'gah' shows possesion neihge = your/s.

How awesome is this thread! Some new things for me to yell when I'm driving and someone cuts out in front of me.

From the page that SimonM linked:

Hu li jing -- B!tch (a flirtatious woman)

I somehow thought that "Hu li" was Chinese for "fox" or something. I wonder if the ideas are related.

Man, some of those are downright foul and I can't think of a single soul that I'd say them to. Some of them, though, are pretty inventive.
