Top 10 CURSE Words in the World 

In russian, there are so many curse words that you can easily have a whole conversation using only them.

As a person who has both Poland and Russia as neighbors, the most OP combo is kurwa bljat XD

Being Russian and taking the latest events into account, I’d also like to introduce you to the word “pizdets” which means “a pretty much fucked-up situation” Stay safe guys, stay out of “pizdets”

German also has a cute version of Scheiße being "Scheibenkleister" which translates to window glue. You use it when you want to say "Scheiße" but you can't because there are kids around or you're in a work setting. I imagine the Russian "blin" has a similar backstory...

I feel very educated

Nice thing about Kurwa is that it's basically THE universal swear word in practically every slavic language, and even some non-slavic ones like hungarian

Just scream "Saatana, perkele!" and you are the perfect stereotype of a Finnish person according to Swedes.

04:46 _You slip on some ice in Jamaica - Bombachaat._ That killed me. 😂

You can ignore this but I only just reached my 1 year Duolingo streak today.

0:20 "Grassy Ass" 💀

How cazzo didn't make this list is beyond me

In german the worst swear word is „doch“ imagine using that around anybody learning German. Basically a war crime

As a french Canadian person, i feel honored to see the first curse word on this list is Québécois

In Russian verbs «jebatj/jobnutj» and «pizdetj» have so many variations. How example «spizdetj» means «to steal» and «zajebatj» means to annoy.

Thank you for mentioning caralho, because I have such vivid sense memory of my Brazilian host brother yelling that at the tv every time there was a futebol match on and I definitely picked up that habit from him.

I'm really glad that you included our polish expressions and depicted it correctly as well. Dziękuję!. P.S. I'd also add majestic italian Vaffanculo and greek Malaka

Perkele is used only in certain situations. You really have to mean it to use it. When used right, it becomes a warcry. It really can scare one shitless.

"Caralho" has a cool backstory, it's how the Portuguese called the masts of their caravels back in the day. Sending someone to the little basket on top of the caralho was a punishment, as the ships weren't so big and would shake a lot.

German Sign Language for "Du Sch Lampe!" (you b..female dog): sign for dusch (to shower) + sign for Lampe (light bulb). imagine sprinkling glitter from above your head down and then throwing glitter up while arguing like an italian.

I didn’t know you had a patreon bro. You are the reason I started to learn Indonesian! Terima kasih! Bagus! I’ll let you know if they teach me any cool curse words (:

BOBR KURWA

Ich scheiß mir auch oft in die Hose.

Starts the video with Quebec swearing and a call for independence. Truly goated. Free lifetime supply of maple syrup to you, Language Simp.

In French, we have "[anything] your dead relatives", the most common ones are "eat your dead" (mange tes morts) and "your dead relatives head" (la calotte de tes morts) but you can also get more creative with stuff like "catapult your dead" (catapulte tes morts) or "torpedo your dead" (torpille tes morts". It comes from the gipsy community.

I came here thinking: Perkele has to be included. I was not dissappointed.

Queb curse words are goated. You can express so much with them like: - je m'en crisse (i dont care) - je m'en contrecalisse (i really dont care) - décalisse (go away) - je me suis fait décalissé (i got hit hard) - calisse moi ça dans l'truck (put this in the truck) - j'me suis fait crissé là (my wife left me) - je suis en tabarnaque (i am upset) - ma te crisser mon poing sua yeul (i am about to engage you in hand to hand combat) This and many many more

Je m'attendais tellement pas à commencer avec ça! 😅

Excellent video! For me, it comes in the nick of time. I have been feeling the need to use a different curse word in French than the one I have been relying on. You see, I have been using "chateau" a lot, but all it seems to elicit in my listener is puzzlement. What gives? Don't the French know that "chateau" means "cat water"?

BOMBOCLAAT‼️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Ostie de calice de tabarnak is only used in what should be the independent country of Québec" WOW, my heart 😭💙 Vive le Québec libre! 💙

Tabarnak is the only word in french where emphasis is put on all three cilables (Ta-Bar-Nak). Always very satisfying to utter ❤

NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS PLEASE \O/

Your "joder" made my day. You are so true about us the Spaniards, we are completely unable to spend more that 2 hours without saying "JODER". It just balances your energy and (I can confirm you) it magically aligns your chakras. Thank you for your video, Simp, your Spanish accent really surprised me, joder.

I'm SO GLAD that your first one was in Québécois, I love you en tabarnak!! VIVE LE QUÉBEC LIBRE!!

That dream described at 6:31 must be contagious or something.

Блин и панкейк - это разные блюда! Блин - большой и тонкий, занимает всю сковороду, а панкейк - маленький и толстый, на одной сковороде их может поместиться хоть 5 штук, собака!

Beaver straight cruisin' while Simp yells KURRRRWA. LOL

The polish k**wa is actually sometimes used as any interpunction mark or space between words and/or sentences. For example, if someone asks you "what are you doing?" and you are drinking water, you can say: "k*rwa k*rwa k*rwa k*rwa piję k*rwa wodę k*rwa". The first one is some kind of annoyed greeting, 3 next represent 3 dotts (...), "piję" means "I drink/ i'm drinking", 4th k*rwa is a space, "wodę" is "water" in genitive and last one is a dot.

In Quebec, the 1960s comedy group Les Cyniques made a whole sketch on swear words, in which they best explain that swear words can serve as: noun, first name, adjective, verb and adverb. Therefore, the following sentence: "Jean, qui était irrité, a expulsé Jules violemment." ("John, who was irritated, expelled Jules violently") can now become: "Le Sacrament, qui était en Calvaire, a Calissé dehors l'Hostie en Tabarnak!"

One of my faves from spain as a spaniard is “me caguen ___” (its actually “me cago en”, but is tipically shortened) because it has infinite variants, it literally translates to “i shit on ___” and it means something along the lines of “i damn/curse ___”, and it has some classics like “me caguen la mar salada” (“i damn the salty sea”) or “me caguen la madre que me trajo al mundo” (“i damn the mother that brought me to this world”) and some other more uncommon ones like “me caguen la puta de oros” which i dont even know how to translate nor where it came from, but you can get wild and make up whatever. Also something i notice a lot here is that we often insult trying to make it sound as funny sounding as possible but at the same time as agressive sounding as possible.

So we are just gonna ignore the fact the he showed the Indonasian flag for Poland. 💀💀

language simp has gone bald😢🫣😭

As a person who speaks Turkish, Russian natively, English fluently and lives in Germany I genuinely enjoyed the video😂🔥

This video was very helpful

Hi :) spanish speaker living in Québec here. I love that you started your list with est*e de c*alisse de t*abarnak! Quebecois cursing is sooo beautiful, IMHO waaay cooler that FFF (French from France) J*der, is a beautiful spanish word. In Central America, where I'm from, it's a lot more casual than in Spain - meaning to us more like bothering, screwing/joking around. We also have a softer ''j' more akin the English 'h' sound. So you can say something like "no me jodás!" like 'don't bother me'.

Was absolutely unsurprised by the top word, which is by far my favorite to mutter when something is buggin' me. Not technically a curse word, but I must give "scrofulous hogbitch" a mention, as a friend used it on me in jest a few decades ago and it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

As a fellow brother in Afghanistan, you are an inspiration.

I really like ssibal in korean too, because they often just pronounce the begening of it, I remember when I went to a PC bang in Korea I heard it like every 2 secs alongside a korean just smashing the table

In the realm of linguistic expression, there exists a potent force, a veritable titan of vulgarity and audacity: the scheiß prefix. This humble linguistic element, often overlooked in its simplicity, wields a power beyond measure, shaping the very fabric of our verbal interactions with its fiery essence. To embark on a discourse concerning the scheiß prefix is to delve into the depths of human emotion, exploring the myriad ways in which language reflects and magnifies our most primal instincts and fervent desires. At its core, the scheiß prefix embodies rebellion-a rebellion against the constraints of decorum, against the stifling norms of polite society, against the oppressive shackles of linguistic convention. It is a defiant cry in the face of censorship, a declaration of autonomy in the realm of expression. To utter the scheiß prefix is to stake a claim to one's own voice, to assert one's right to speak with unbridled honesty and unfettered passion. But what, precisely, is the scheiß prefix? In its most basic form, it is a Germanic element denoting feces or excrement, imbuing any word it prefixes with a sense of filth and vulgarity. Yet, its significance transcends mere scatological connotations, encompassing a wide range of emotions and attitudes-from frustration and anger to disdain and contempt. Indeed, the scheiß prefix is a versatile tool, capable of transforming even the most innocuous of words into expressions of raw emotion and unbridled intensity. Consider, for example, the word "weather." Alone, it is a benign term, referring to the atmospheric conditions that surround us. But with the addition of the scheiß prefix, it becomes "scheiß weather"-a phrase dripping with disdain and frustration, a condemnation of nature's capriciousness and unpredictability. Suddenly, what was once a mundane observation becomes a visceral expression of dissatisfaction, a rallying cry against the whims of the elements. Similarly, the scheiß prefix can be applied to a wide range of nouns, adjectives, and verbs, each time infusing them with a potent dose of vulgarity and intensity. Whether it's "scheiß politics," "scheiß traffic," or "scheiß bureaucracy," the addition of the prefix serves to amplify our frustrations, transforming everyday grievances into impassioned diatribes against the injustices of the world. But the true power of the scheiß prefix lies not just in its ability to evoke emotion, but in its capacity to provoke change. For when we employ this potent linguistic tool, we are not merely venting our frustrations-we are challenging the status quo, demanding accountability, and refusing to accept the world as it is. In this sense, the scheiß prefix is a catalyst for action, a call to arms in the battle against complacency and apathy. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, and the scheiß prefix is no exception. While its usage can be liberating and cathartic, it also carries with it the potential for harm. In the heat of the moment, it's all too easy to lash out with expletives and invective, heedless of the consequences. But in doing so, we risk alienating others, burning bridges, and perpetuating a cycle of negativity and hostility. Indeed, the challenge lies in harnessing the power of the scheiß prefix without succumbing to its darker impulses. It requires a delicate balance of passion and restraint, of righteous anger tempered by empathy and understanding. For while the scheiß prefix may give voice to our frustrations, it is ultimately through dialogue and cooperation that real change is achieved. In this light, perhaps the true significance of the scheiß prefix lies not in its ability to provoke outrage, but in its capacity to foster connection and understanding. For when we strip away the layers of vulgarity and vitriol, what remains is a shared humanity-a recognition that we are all struggling, in our own way, against the injustices of the world. And it is through this recognition that we find common ground, forging bonds of solidarity and empathy that transcend the barriers of language and culture. In the end, the scheiß prefix is more than just a linguistic curiosity-it is a testament to the power of words to shape our perceptions, our emotions, and our actions. It reminds us that language is not just a tool for communication, but a reflection of our deepest desires and aspirations. And it challenges us to use that tool wisely, to speak truth to power, and to never shy away from expressing our most fervent convictions, however vulgar they may be. For in the end, it is through our words that we define ourselves, and it is through our actions that we change the world. Next, we turn our attention to Dutch, where the word stront takes center stage as a vivid depiction of decay and decomposition. Used colloquially to refer to feces, stront carries with it a visceral sense of disgust and revulsion, evoking images of filth and decay. When combined with the prefix waardeloos (worthless), as in waardeloze stront (worthless shit), or adapting its versatility, ScheißWaardelooze Dutch decomposing stront, it becomes a powerful expression of contempt and disdain. Moving on to English, we encounter the word rubbish-a versatile term that encompasses everything from literal garbage to metaphorical nonsense. With its origins in the Middle English word rubbush, meaning rubble or debris, rubbish has evolved into a catch-all term for anything deemed unbelievably worthless and scandalous. From rubbish bins overflowing with refuse to rubbish arguments devoid of substance, this word serves as a potent reminder of the imperfections inherent in the human experience. Finally, we arrive in Russia, where the word дерьмовый (diermovyi) reigns supreme as a vivid depiction of filth and degradation. Derived from the word for feces, дерьмовый carries with it a sense of visceral disgust and revulsion, evoking images of decay and decomposition. Whether used to describe a дерьмовый день (shitty day) or a дерьмовая ситуация (shitty situation), this word serves as a powerful expression of frustration and contempt. In conclusion, we have journeyed across languages and cultures, exploring the depths of vulgarity and audacity through the lens of German scheiß, Dutch decomposing stront, English rubbish, and Russian дерьмовый. Each word, in its own way, serves as a potent reminder of the power of language to evoke emotion and provoke thought, transcending the boundaries of culture and geography to unite us in our shared human experience.

i would also like to add about the word kalb: we more commonly use it in the term: "يا ابن الكلب" (yabn al kalb) meaning "son of a dog". ironically, parents will use it on their children which basically insults themselves but they choose to ignore that fact most of the time lmao

A lot of people know "perkele" because Finland has a massive metal bands per capita ratio, so a lot of metal band members say "PERRRRRRRRKELE" in songs, concerts or interviews. Also, Linus Torvalds also says it in the official Linux kernel mailing list.

8:42 I have already expected that this is the first word, but, damn, it's so cursed to hear it uncensored, as I am the native speaker from Kazakhstan(the flag was unexpected)

needed Putain from the french language which can be used in so many situations that you dont even have to be mad or surprised by smth to use

Blyat is the best curse word in the mundo

I'm not Finnish but I do speak Northern Saami, a related language. Our equivalence is "beargalat". Perkele is nice because it can be made stronger by obviously yelling it louder, but you can also overly roll the R's to make it even stronger.

I want a part two. It's impossible you didn't include any Italian one. Oh wait, I get it now.

in ALBANIA/KOSOVO WE SAY ' te rafte rrufeja ne shollen tende ' wich means ' may the thunder hit your toilet '

Slavic languages with 2 out of the top 3. BEST LANGUAGE FAMILY!

came from your video about Arabic as I am a fluent Arabic speaker, but this isn't about that. firstly it was a good video and I encourage you to have another attempt, however, regarding the lazy eye surgery, I was born with a lazy eye and it also affected me for most of my childhood (although in a different way from what you described), and I got the lazy eye correction surgery when I was around 12. from what I remember, they move your eye into the correct position, then stitch it to place with some form of dissolvable stitches that go with time, so when they fade, the eye remains in the correct spot ( not sure if that was 100% accurate, been almost 10 years). However, I will say one thing, the recovery period is fairly long, any strain to your eye is ruled out and you have to gradually readjust to using your lazy eye, I remember when I was discharged from the aftercare unit ( which was the same day, and the procedure took a couple hours), I couldn't even look outside during the daytime and so I had to wear 2 eye patches. once I got back home, I could not even read for the next month or so as that was too much strain and let's not even mention electronic devices as that took about 6+ months. At the start, it was for < 30 sessions as I worked my way back to 'normal use' which I still try not to use too much of and exercise is also limited for a while but I can't remember the reason for that. However, I truly do recommend the surgery as it made everything so much better and my quality of living has improved big time, my eye has less strain and I have better depth perception. In addition, my prescription glasses went from +4.00 to +2.50 in the 2-3 years following and I still wear them but that isn't as big of a deal since my vision now is much better without them compared to before which was very difficult. I hope you can take what I've said as useful to your own choice and keep making good content

Мужик, ты очень хорошо владеешь русским языком для американца. Мне нравятся, что есть люди, которые изучают русский язык так хорошо. Успехов тебе в изучении! Я сам изучают Английский и надеюсь, что к своему дню рождения я смогу разговаривать так же, как и ты на русском

There is a typically Dutch tradition in the Netherlands of using illnesses to make cursewords. A very common example is the combination of "kanker"("cancer") and "hoer" ("whore") to create "kankerhoer". Meaning, you guessed it: "Cancerwhore". Another good example is "Krijg de tyfus man!". It literally means: "Get the typhus man!". Cancer and typhus are the most commonly used illnesses, but try it with whatever you can think of! Have fun creating lot's of new inventive cursewords!

Oh come on, in Italy we have "PORCO DIO!" that literally means "God is a pig". We deserve the Gold Medal of Curses

In Portuguese from Portugal there is foda-se, it is the most poetic and also versatile curse word. It has a different meaning than the Portuguese spoke in Brazil.

as a former soviet union country uzbeks use a lot of curse words that is inherited from russion they include dalbayob; pidaras; gandon. and uzbeks has its unique words like jalab means blyad; and there are tons of versions of swear words thet include mother or father

Love the descriptions for the words

In Dutch cursing with illnesses is very common for example: kanker, cancer tyfus, typhoid tering, tuberculosis I think

In Jamaica slipping on ice is a constant problem, particularly for the toboggan team.

0:37 i thought i knew you better, apology video with tears right now

Should have added "kræftædme" it means "cancer eat me" in danish.

Haha, I'm Russian and I absolutely put "Kurwa" at #1!))) Dunno why, just love this word, love to use it sometimes when it's really messed up, other people in Russia like to use it too as I noticed)) it just sounds funny, especially with "avada kedavra"))) But I respect your choice though))

There’s a joke-saying among Hungarians that we can swear for an hour straight without repeating a word

My favorite is zift, from Arabic. It literally means asphalt but is used like shit or crap or darn when something is terrible. I live in the desert, so I think of the awful oppressive heat and the chemical smell of the roads here on a summer afternoon, and it really just hits home.

Québécois are only nominally Catholic. Québec today is a very secular place, but we want to keep our religious buildings and traditions. Also, our sacres can be used as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs. Very versatile!

Perkele can be very aggressive, You just need some beer.

I m so proud of you mate!

I think the Greek swear word "Malaka" deserves a spot on a future list. It may not be as iconic as the ones mentioned but my god it's the most beautiful word I've ever heard. It also has the perk that fuck and blyat have in the sense that you can say it literally anywhere for anything.

I was hoping the #1 would be on Brazilian Language, but there's no way anyone be bigger and better then the Russian one. I love my Portuguese (I mean, Brazilian) but I need to be honest. Cyuk* B*yat is the best!

The thing is "joder" is mostly used not literally, like in the examples you gave, and for plain cursing. For "having intercourse" meaning in a casual context we almost always use the verb "follar", it's still a strong word, but not as harsh as "joder"

3:37 joder in Latin America is “to bother” or also “stop complaining” Like “Deja de joderme”

Surprisingly, despite what you predicted in the beginning, this video is not age restricted, yet still probably demonetized.

I know Perkele’s the most popular Finnish one but my favorite is ‘vittu’ for its versatility or ‘pilkunnussija’ for its creativity

Great video Mr. Language Simp, now please grace us with a top 10 curses in Esperanto a.k.a. the coolest and most natural language in this world maybe tied with the American language

Had a good laugh, thanks

Maybe next time you may try Cantonese ( usually used in Hong Kong/ Macau/ Guangzhou), because in Cantonese we have more than one different phrases to describe the same meaning

0:57 I dunno what it is about these Catholic places having religious swear words. Even Spain has "hostia" which also refers to the communion host

6:47 I guess this word is a slavic curse word since it also has the same meaning in other slavic languages. Like mine, and we also use it.

You should do a video about Finnish now that you mentioned it! You will be on all the Finnish newspapers yelling how Finland has been mentioned abroad and we loose our tits partying about it.

As a bavarian (I know kinda niche, but still) I really like the slur Kruzifix (short version and used more commonly is just zefix). A Kruzifix (or cruzifix in english) is Jesus' cross, but as a slur, you can use whenever something goes wrong or annoys you etc. It also sounds a bit more harsh than Scheiße, so thats also very cool.

the word "kotakbas" or "qotaqbash" definitely should have been on the list. Not only it is comparable with f*ck and bl*t, it also unites most of turkic based languages all over from Turkye to Kyrgyzstan

Браво сине. Само јако.

We will all turn a blind eye to the fact that Poland was annexed to Indonesia, and Russia to Kazakhstan💀💀💀

The Dutch word "kanker" (literally meaning "cancer") should've definitely been on this list It's an extremely powerful word which can be used on Its own like "sh*t", but it's way harsher But you can also combine it with any word, even words that are already very bad, and make them 10x worse. For example, "Kankerhoer" (hoer=hoe) There are some way worse ones, but I don't want my account banned

in spanish “joder” doesnt actually mean to have intercourse , it can be used as a verb meaning disturb, for example “no me jodas” “dont disturb me” in a vulgar manner, although this word’s translation in english is “fuck” they dont mean the same always

kurwa is in many languages, its used very oftenly in hungarian too. definitely in top 3 curses of all time.

I present to you, the Franconian (don't know if it's used anywhere else) curse "Himmel Arsch nuch e mo" or some people may know it as "Himmel Arsch und Zwirrn". It literally translates to "Heaven, Ass again" AFAIK Zwirn is a type of string so the other one would be "Heaven, Ass and string" Both of these make no sense (even in German) but are really fun to just yell out. And Franconia for the unschooled of you is a region of Germany despite sounding like France

Watching this before it gets age restricted.

How the hell could you miss the classic Dutch "godverdomme" You'll love it

I’m mexican, we have 8-20 different meanings for curse words, and you can combine them in all tenses, persons, genders and have the most beautiful compounded curse words in the world.

¡Joder, qué vídeo más bueno! 🇵🇪 Hablo peruano de España

You should've definitely include the Italian's curse words pilled up on the God and religion, yet the most well known curse is "porco dio" which literary means "dirty God".
