Bukani,
I know what the translation is... being as I speak a the Spanish. Swear words are not about direct meaning. People who are "sons of bitches" are not actually little boy puppies. It is about intent thus my original comment about the "energy" difference. It is about the understanding of the meaning of the word, the ineffable quality. Perhaps I ought to start calling people who piss me off "puppies" since that is after all what a son of a bitch is.
I wonder if spanish people share that sentiment.
But to give you an example I will give it in dutch to you, so you know its not all about energy difference.
Some things are the same some not.
Bitch = teef
Hijo de puta = hoerezoon
we do not say son of a bitch
puta de madre = je moeder is een hoer
we do say that.
slut=slet
cunt=kut
But you dont say cuntwhore really do you?
we do
kuthoer
we can put kut in front of everything and we do
asshole=aarshol
but you dont have klootzak
we dont use aarshol a lot, we say klootzak wich means ballsack
Like te word wife = wijf in dutch and demeaning
kutwijf is common here
And you want bad energy?
Well we swear with diseases.
The most harsh and common one is cancer
in dutch kanker
that sounds very harsh, I dont think you do that in english, dont know many languages who throw around diseases lol
Its a very bad thing
You can say kanker like damnit
kankerhoer
krijg de kanker= get cancer.
we say shit a lot too here
but the original is schijt here
you can put that in front of anything too like you say it too.
just like we kan put diseases in front of about anything.
typhus and tering are most common and less, negative cause those diseases are eridicated here
Sick eh?[:D]
So there is a lot you cant compare with the same energy.
Just saying.
Oh and by the way fuck comes from the dutch word fok
Wich means breeding animals
not that myth of fornicating under consent of the king.
English has lent about 22000 words from dutch.
its been researched.
Interesting to know how other languages swear and what they really mean by it.
We have a lotta jiddish words as well in dutch to swear. bout the same as in america,
like schlemiel, mesjogge etc.
I always chuckle when french start to swear.
