Difficult to see why your mother has a moustache is a swearword.

An unbelievable number of words for penis.

Does anybody recognize the word Ostia (Hostia?) which a bloke on our building site shouts every 10 seconds? It's not on the list.

I believe Ostia is builders lingo for "Help - I've nailed my willy to this plank "

Edit to add - but I may be wrong.

hostia.

(Del lat. hostĭa).

1. f. Hoja redonda y delgada de pan ácimo, que se consagra en la misa y con la que se comulga.

2. f. Cosa que se ofrece en sacrificio.

3. f. vulg. malson. Golpe, trastazo, bofetada.

mala ~. 1. f. vulg. malson. Mala intención.

a toda ~. 1. loc. adv. vulg. malson. A toda velocidad.

de la ~. 1. loc. adj. vulg. malson. Muy grande o extraordinario. Se ha comprado un coche de la hostia.

hostia, u hostias. 1. interjs. vulgs. Denotan sorpresa, asombro, admiración, etc.

In other words The Sacred Host - probably equivalent to someone saying "Christ!"

Here are some swearwords / expressions :

Me cago en tu madre - I sh** on your mum

Me cago en Dios - I sh** on God

Me cago en la puta madre que te pario - I sh** on the b*** of a mum that gave birth to you

Hijo de puta - Son of (a) b***

Hijo de la gran puta - Son of the great b****

Arrastrada - Slut. (Lit. Someone who is dragged around)

Jediondo - Someone who is extremely disgusting. Its quite offensive

Godo - A derogatory term for spanish people from the mainland. Dont say it, ever. I was in Tenerife on a coach years ago with my mum and i asked her what it meant ( i saw some writing on a wall saying "fuera godos" meaning godos get out), and she told me to shut up then she told me what it is.

Joder - Lit. to f***. Its used as a way of saying "b******" (as in, something bad has just happened), or "oh s***", but it can be used as a general term of shock / surprise, like when you meet someone who you have something in common with (ie, like saying "get the f*** out of here"). It can also be used to express being f***** (as in "youre f*****"), or jodete ("serves you right" Lit. f*** yourself"), te vas a joder ("youre going to be f****" Lit. "youre going to **** yourself").
