Thanks. I know a couple of friends who speak 7 or 8 languages, and mostly quite fluently - it’s humbling :)

Personally, I think Russians have the best-sounding curse words.

Nothing beats Yiddish foul language. I mean the way insults are composed in this language, even when the wording is translated to other languages.
One may not even catch he has been just cursed unless he seriously thinks into wording he has just heard.
You can easily recognize a Yiddish speaker by these insults, even if he is cursing in Russian or English.

“On a lighter note, French, a fantastic language, is my favorite language to curse with! :-P”

“Personally, I think Russians have the best-sounding curse words.”

Not as ‘classy’ as French. To demonstrate the point a few mins only, hope the link works. — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX8nMTuMHWY

I have a friend who is a chef. Trained under some French hotshot in LA. He learned some fantastic curses. And a simple “merde” works wonders.

Ah oui, c'est ça, simplement.
