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

    Because the language is quite…sexy.

    Not as sexy as irish swearing at me, that’s for sure.

      Irish for you? That’s Scottish for me. I once saw a woman yelling at her brother in public with a heavy, heavy Scottish accent and a head full of inky black curls taking rapid to the wind. It woke something deep inside of me.

      “And yeh dinney thenk tae arsk, yeh daft cont?! What in the fahk is wroung weth yeh?!” Unnf. Heart still flutters at the thought and idk whats wrong with me so dont ask unless its in a Scottish accent and you are being very critical plz
