“白痴” (moron or idiot) counts as a swear in zh. “抐屎” (to churn shit) isn’t a swear in zh-min-nan.

    My favourite is the difference between French french and Canadian French.

    Many of the uniquely Canadian French swears are oddly religious compared to French french

      Québécois swears are literally just church vocabulary words. You could probably just use any church vocabulary in place of the common ones and I’d understand what you meant.
