I was watching Me, Myself & Irene last night and there was this scene where the boys get into the chopper... read the German instruction manual and the subtitle read something like - start the m0t*** fv**in rotor.
I was wondering if every MF language in the MF world have the MF word "M0**** Fv****"?

Not in Spanish. You can technically translate the expression into Spanish, but nobody uses that.

in taiwanese, it's "f your mom" instead of calling someone a "mf"

my cantonese friend says it's similar to 'f your mom's' too, they like to add 'ass' at the end... i guess chinese people likes milf more

Well, in cantonese, it's not 'ass' they added to the end. It's the other word for kitten.

Is there something wrong with typing Mother Fucker around here? There is a word sensor after all.

Off the top of my head, japanese and korean does not have the word "MF"

Koreans have something close, but not really the same.

Japanese doesnt really have cus words...

Both cultures learned the middle finger tho from the US.
But its not native.

The term was coined by American soldiers in WWII who would trade poor French war widows sex for food to feed their kids. It's probably an English-only thing unless other languages adopted it.

me too. and if it really doesn't have curse words, its not a real language.

Exactly. It also makes me wonder how the Japanese guards managed to heap abuse on the POWs in the Second World War. Maybe lacking real cuss words they derided the bushido-lacking barbarians with simple phrases like "big nose" or "hairy face."

All the slavic languages do. They usually spice it up a bit though.

eg, in serbian... there is a direct "MF", and then things based around the concept. lol.
"иди у пичку материну" is like... "go in your mother's wise and beautiful woman" :awe:
It means more like "fuck off" though. Russians got "иди на хуй" for that... "go on a dick".

Slavic swears are more colourful in general :D

Yeah, they are really colorful. It is amazing how so many insults can be derived from such few roots.
