    I love how “fuck” is the the only word censored when it’s literally a map of swear words

      English speaking countries are among the few obsessed with censoring swear words, but yeah, it’s ridiculous, isn’t it.

    Is it the Americans making images where the word “fuck” is censored or does the prudeness span the anglosphere in general?

      The Brits also have strokes if swear words aren’t censored, but I’m willing to bet the Aussies have a more relaxed attitude?

    A friend of mine gave a Mexican woman a lesson in Norwegian swear words after she rear-ended our car outside Vegas. I think she was impressed.

      Vittu is much shorter and more versatile. Easier to use several times in a sentence.

      I see others that are wrong as well and there’s no source so I call bullshit on its accuracy

    I’m kinda disappointed. I always thought “kurwa” is exclusively our Polish thing.

      Even some german people start using it. You cannot go arround making 80% of your language one word and then expect that no one will pick it up.
