With all due respect Laz I really doubt that your swearing skills will be even close to the average Serb or Bulgarian.

I thought the same, but I don't like to discourage them when they're trying so hard. With a bit of dedication and study, they might just get close to me one day.

Laz westerners just can't swear. You should visit the Balkans and study the fine art of swearing. It is a totaly different level.

Maybe I should start a thread about swearing. It is an interesting subject. I think that when you swear in a language that is not native for you it just doesn't feel that strong/offensive.

I think you could swear bad in most languages if you wanted, but westerners are more down-to-the-point, while easterners like to elaborate a little. Or it could be that my impression (based on American movies mostly) is wrong.

A casual swear in the Balkans could include (but not be limited to): mother, horses, the nails Jesus Christ was crucified with, something dead (the mother for example), various bodily fluids and, of course, some perverse sexual action.

(P.S. Croatia culturally is not in the Balkans)
