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

    In Sesotho, a language of Southern Africa, there are no swear words, however there are insults that (I was told) may cause someone to want to fight or even kill you.

    Those insults:

    • I’m not your mother
    • You are like a cat that jumps across a ravine and scribbles up the other side
