[Alouette]

Most Yiddish cursewords came from German.

And Russian and Polish.

Hebrew doesn't easily lend itself to vulgar insults.

Like my grandmother would say, "You eat with that mouth?"

You kidding? With the Hebrew root system, Hebrew is tailor-made for curse words. It chose to borrow its curses from Arabic, Russian and English simply because it had no native curse words in Ben-Yehuda's time.

It picked up Russian curses from immigrants, Arab curses from Arabs, and English curses from the Brits and American tv.
