I love the international language lessons going on here! Cagüen--I know this one--same verb as used in those adorable Spanish Christmas shitter figurines.
I'm not very creative, use pretty much some of Carlin's forbidden words,  but my ux was on an archaic oath jag a few years back and his fave was "Damn your eyes!"

Want to use the angry curse smiley as appropriate to my comment on cursing,  but want to quibble  that angry/smiley is an oxymoron. Why aren't they called emoticons, like the crude keyboard versions?  8(

There's nothing wrong with ambivalence--is there?

Well I feel that I need to clarify this because what I wrote is a bit incorrect. The figures you are talking about are called "Caganets". Catalan word, not Castilian btw (Tradition from Cataluña, obviously). The verb you are referring to is "cagar", so you are right. But I have to clarify that I misspelled it on purpose (the correct form would be "me cago en") to make it sound as we pronounce it in some regions in which we supposedly have a very strong accent, + angry voice.

So there's nothing comparable to "¡me cago en dios y en la virgen puta!" in English I assume?

Quote from: "SallyMutant""Damn your eyes!"
Sounds like a gypsy curse. Here a gypsy curse is "tengas juicios y los ganes", meaning more or less "(you) have lawsuits and win them". Doesn't make too much sense in English I fear.

Sorry about the cursing.

That one's my favorite, too!  I use it all the time.  Though I'm not sure what the "H" stands for.  Any ideas?

I think it stands for Hell if I know.    :D

There are several possible explanations here.

Thanks!  I'm going to go with Harold.

I don't tend to swear very often, but in the occasions were I hurt myself, and need to scream something in anger, it is "fuck!".

Coming from an Indoâ€"Pakistani background, and with parents speaking languages like Punjabi, I tend to favour the phrase ‘penn choad’. It works the same as ‘motherfucker’ in terms of shock and cussing values, but translates into English as ‘sisterfucker’. I sometimes say sisterfucker in English too, purely for my own amusement.

After watching the League of Gentlemen film I sometimes use: ‘Shittington!’

My personal favourite of all time: ‘Wankpellet’.
