Apparently some guy in La Gomera wrote the "diccionario de la habla canaria" (or something like that) containing all the words used in the canary islands. Theres probably loads of swear words in there, not that id know. I wish i did, theyd be very useful.

The thing is... "la hostia" should only be used a maximum of once a day or it loses effectiveness bigtime -preferably once a week at an opportune moment. It appears a stronger word than joder.

Better if you don't know any at all then you can't get up set when they swear at you.

There is one aspect of this thread which I find hilarious...

All these Spanish swearwords, spelt out in full...

And the English ones with *****'s!

Good job no-one comes in here who speaks Spanish!
